U.S. raw steel production saw a modest weekly increase in mid-July, according to data released by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). For the week ending July 12, 2025, domestic steel mills produced approximately 1.783 million net tons, reflecting a 0.1% rise from the previous week.
During this period, mills operated at a 78.7% capacity utilization rate, slightly above the 78.6% recorded a week earlier. This steady performance indicates ongoing strength in the U.S. steel industry despite market fluctuations.
Compared to the same week in 2024, production was up 5.1%, climbing from 1.696 million net tons. Year-to-date figures through July 12 show a total output of 46.98 million net tons, a 0.7% increase from the previous year. Capacity utilization for the year so far has averaged 76.1%. Regionally, production breakdown for the week is as follows (in thousands of net tons): Northeast – 121, Great Lakes – 570, Midwest – 233, Southern – 790, and Western – 69.
Why It Matters:
• The neutral weekly growth reflects continued stability in steel production, balanced across most regions.
• The year-over-year production gains signal sustained resilience amid evolving industry conditions.
• Capacity utilization near 79% suggests mills are operating at healthy levels, supporting tight supply.
• Tracking weekly steel trends is key for infrastructure planning, construction momentum, and manufacturing forecasts.
This steady growth highlights ongoing demand in sectors like construction, automotive, and manufacturing, reinforcing the steel industry’s role in the U.S. economic landscape.
