South Africa Crude Steel Production February 2024 Overview
During the first quarter of 2024, South Africa’s crude steel production demonstrated notable growth, surging by 13.8% compared to the previous quarter (Q4 2023). This upturn propelled production levels to 1.3 million metric tonnes, marking a significant expansion in the nation’s steel manufacturing sector.
However, despite this growth, it’s important to acknowledge that output levels have not yet returned to pre-COVID levels. When comparing the first quarter of 2024 with the same period before the pandemic, there remains a noticeable gap in production volumes.
in March 2024, crude steel production in South Africa reached 441,800 tonnes, representing a 2.8% increase compared to March 2023. These mark the fourth month of consecutive increase in output since December 2023.
