Several ups and downs have been experienced in the steel industry over the years, thus affecting such an area as manufacturing. Steel prices are affected by global dynamics of supply and demand, raw material costs, geopolitical tensions, and economic conditions, to mention a few. A brief review of the trends in steel prices and how Kinza Steel Doors has managed such fluctuations would be hereby required:
Historic Price Trends: In general, steel prices had steep uptrends and downturns during the last ten years. For example, between 2018 and 2021, a combination of factors, including robust global demand, supply chains, and a host of punitive tariffs, drove up the price. Subsequently, after 2022, the prices dipped as demand softened, particularly in key markets like China, while supply chains stabilized.
Recent Volatility: The COVID-19 pandemic brought about the most significant supply chain disruptions on record, which took prices higher in 2021. Once economies opened up further, steel prices shot up to unprecedented levels. Prices in 2023 were stabilized but remain volatile due to inflationary pushes, increases in energy, and fluctuating demand within the construction and automotive sectors.
Drivers of Price Volatility
Raw Material Costs: Fluctuations in the price of iron ore and coal have directly impacted the cost of production.
Global Demand: Slowing down economies in larger steel-consuming countries can result in lower prices.
Supply Chain Disruptions: Weather-related events, pandemics, and logistical challenges created supply chain constraints that influenced prices.
Regulatory and Tariff Changes: Trade policies and tariffs have been critical variable in influencing volatility within steel prices.
