Steel consumption in 2022 (by sectors) was announced as 1 million 762 thousand tons!

Total steel use in 2022 announced as 1 million 762 thousand tons

The applicability of steel to everyday life is exactly what development is all about. Steel use in buildings and infrastructure accounted for more than half of steel demand, reaching 916,000 tons.

Worldsteel predicts that the world's population growth will increase the demand for steel's uses. According to a United Nations report, the world's population is expected to increase by 2 billion in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 billion in 2050.

The use of steel in the construction sector may increase in the coming years, as the population grows. Consumption in mechanical equipment, which is the most important property of steel, is 282 thousand tons.

According to Worldsteel, an average of 900 kg of steel is used per vehicle.

Steel consumption in the automotive sector is the most important factor that raises the level of development in daily life for reasons such as ease of use of new generation vehicles and minimizing the risk of accidents.

Steel consumption in the automotive sector is 211 thousand tons.

Steel is a magnetic metal containing iron

Especially in recycling plants, steel scrap can be easily separated from other wastes by using magnetic equipment. Therefore, the use of steel in metal products is of great importance in terms of its magnetic properties.

Steel consumption in metal products accounts for 10% of global steel use with 176 thousand tons.

2022 steel consumption in transportation reaches 88 thousand tons

The use of steel provides many opportunities for quality transportation in daily life. The use of steel in ships and shipping containers, trains and wagons, aircraft and infrastructure is also of great importance in logistics.

Electrical equipment use is 53 thousand tons

The story of the reduction of steel scrap to the present day; Scrap steels are transferred to electric arc furnaces and the steels are purified. This story is very important in terms of steel production.

Steel consumption in household appliances reached 35 thousand tons.
