Recent reports from over the world have indicated a significant decline in demand within the steel industry – with many having stopped using the material entirely.
Business Insider believes this will have a major impact on workers within the industry – with many attributing the decline to the growing debt problem which has plagued the Chinese steel industry in recent years.
As per Macquarie: “The whole sector is struggling and no one can be insulated.
The sector is facing increasing pressure on funding as banks have been tightening lending to the sector – both loans and the financing provided for steel and raw material stockpiles.”
Unless the volume of steel production decreases, or a demand for steel increases, the industry looks to be in trouble.
