Italy’s steel output dropped 10.8% in April 2025.
High energy costs and weak demand remain key factors.
Rising global demand may offer relief in coming months.
Italy, one of Europe’s leading steel-producing nations, reported a 10.8% month-on-month decline in crude steel production in April 2025. According to Federacciai, the Italian Steel Producers' Association, the country produced 1.78 million tonnes of steel in April — significantly lower compared to March 2025.
The decline is primarily attributed to weak domestic demand, soaring energy costs, and global market uncertainties. Additionally, strict carbon emission regulations and the EU’s push towards green energy transition have further impacted production levels.
Industry analysts suggest that current economic pressures and energy challenges are likely to keep Italy’s steel production under strain in the coming months. However, the country is eyeing opportunities in rising global demand, especially from Asian markets, to offset domestic weaknesses.
Federacciai also highlighted that Italy’s steel production had already fallen by 6% in the first quarter of 2025, with April’s data deepening the concern for the year ahead.
