Our analysts constantly revise and update almost 30 country reports, providing key industry forecasts and competitive analysis on states accounting for almost 95% of global steel output.

Methodology

The service covers all key global developments influencing company strategy, as well as supply, demand and price dynamics in all key metals markets, including steel, aluminium and copper. At its heart are BMI's proprietary 5-year country forecasts. Given the close connections between the metals industry and broader macroeconomic prospects and financial markets activity, as well as the mining industry, our analysis and forecasts are closely integrated with BMI's Country Risk, Financial Markets, Mining and Commodities services.

Our data-led service is completed by our comprehensive analysis of market and regulatory trends and company activity, which includes our portfolio of company profiles that detail the activity of all major metals producers in each state.
