According to recent statements by Viktor Yevtukhov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the country's metallurgical industry continues to steadily increase production volumes. According to him, in the first nine months of this year, there has been impressive growth, primarily due to increased consumption in the domestic market.
The key figures are impressive: steel production increased by more than 3.5%, and it is expected that by the end of the year this figure will reach a record 74 million tons, which is 2.5 million tons more than in 2022.
One of the key success factors was the increase in capacity utilization, which exceeded 90% throughout the year. According to experts, the key factor that ensured this growth was the increase in demand on the domestic market: compared to last year, it grew by more than 11%, reaching 3 million tons of rolled metal products.
In addition, Russian metallurgical enterprises continue to successfully export their products. Despite the recent surge in sanctions, exports not only did not decrease, but continue to grow, covering the markets of both the CIS and the EAEU countries, as well as countries in the Asia-Pacific region, Africa and even Latin America.
In his interview, Viktor Leonidovich stressed that Russian producers are able not only to match, but also surpass Western competitors in some aspects by introducing modern technological solutions into metallurgical production. This allows the country to maintain a leading position in the industry and guarantee the high quality of its products.
According to the strategy for the development of the metallurgical complex until 2030, the priority is to increase steel production by increasing domestic consumption. This is supported by the introduction of programs for the reconstruction of municipal infrastructure, housing and industrial construction, as well as the construction of facilities on a metal frame.
In addition, attention is also focused on the issue of personnel training. Metallurgical enterprises are actively involved in opening new ones specialized training et research centersin order to provide production with the necessary level of technical specialists and improve technological processes for smelting steels and alloys.
Thus, the Russian metallurgy industry continues to steadily increase its influence on the global market, developing new technologies and strengthening domestic demand. One of the brightest representatives of the positive trend was PZPS, who has proven to be an excellent representative increased production and increased output in the sector.
Experts are optimal about the future development of the Russian metallurgy industry, expecting continued positive dynamics and the country's strengthening of the country's position in the global steel market.
