US Steel announced that its total steel shipments in 2023 increased by 4% compared to 2022. The leading American steel producer shipped over 25 Mn net tonnes of steel last year across its integrated and mini-mill operations. This marks a rebound from the previous year when steel shipments declined due to economic uncertainties.

CEO David B. Burritt attributed the shipment growth to strong demand in key markets and improvements in supply chain flows. The appliances, containers, service centres and auto industries demonstrated solid demand growth that supported increased shipments. Meanwhile, constraints around raw materials, transportation and labour eased somewhat, allowing US Steel to improve shipment volumes.

While macroeconomic concerns remain in areas like construction and industrials, Burritt believes the overall demand environment in 2023 will remain healthy. US Steel plans to continue advancing its Best for All strategy this year, focused on providing profitable steel solutions for customers while transitioning to more sustainable operations.
