Quoting Chilan, the publication of the Iranian Steel Producers Association, the Iran Steel Yearbook 2026 Special Edition, as a statistical and analytical reference, has compiled a collection of data and specialized reports on Iran’s iron and steel chain and developments in the global market.
Focusing on key indicators of the steel industry from production and capacity building to trade, pricing, commodity exchange transactions, energy, and global market developments this collection provides the information needed by stakeholders in this chain in the form of statistical and analytical reports.
Monitoring a Decade of Steel Chain Performance
One of the book’s main focuses is an examination of the trends in production, imports, exports, and consumption of Iran’s steel chain products over a decade. In this section, the composition of the production, export, and import mix, as well as the performance of various segments of the chain from iron ore concentrate to final products has been examined.
The book also introduces the leading producers of steel chain products, the utilization rate of production units, and the top companies in terms of capacity utilization.
In the area of trade, the annual trends in exports and imports, leading exporters, the share of exports in the production of various products, the steel chain’s trade balance, and the share of this chain’s export value in the country’s non-oil exports have also been addressed.
Price and Exchange; Monitoring Market Mechanisms
Another section of this collection is dedicated to price developments. Domestic and global price trends for steel chain products, price indices, the exchange rate discovered in steel chain transactions, and inflation trends for products in this chain are among the topics examined in this section.
In the exchange section, the status of the steel chain on the commodity exchange has been examined in terms of supply, demand, and transactions, offer and transaction prices, supply structure, leading suppliers, and companies supplying domestic needs. The status of steel companies’ shares on the stock exchange has also been addressed in this section.
Energy; One of the Key Focuses of Industry Analysis
Given the importance of energy supply for the continuity of steel production, an independent section of the book is dedicated to the state of water and energy in the steel industry.
This section examines the steel industry’s share of water, electricity, and gas consumption, the value of lost iron and steel production due to energy constraints, the annual trends in electricity and gas rates for the steel industry, existing and under-construction power plants for steel and mining industries, and the level of electricity and gas supply to the steel industry.
Existing Capacities and Development Outlook
The Iran Steel Yearbook also provides a picture of the industry’s production structure and capacity building. Active units, projects under construction, and current and future capacities of the steel chain are among the focuses of this section.
Additionally, a list of Iran’s iron and steel producers, broken down by capacity and product type, has been provided, along with information about active companies and projects within the chain.
Iran’s Steel Industry on a Global Scale
In the global steel section, the performance of the leading steel-producing countries over the past five years has been examined, alongside forecasts for global steel demand and the challenges and opportunities facing the global steel market.
Alongside its review of the challenges facing Iran’s steel industry, this section allows for a comparison of the industry’s status with prevailing trends in the global market.
A Reference for Market Monitoring and Decision-Making
According to the introduction published by Chilan, the Iran Steel Yearbook 2026 Special Edition, by compiling statistical data, specialized reports, and information related to companies, capacities, and the market, seeks to provide an integrated picture of the performance, structure, and trends of Iran’s steel chain.
The combination of historical data, market indices, producer and capacity information, as well as the examination of variables such as price, trade, and energy, has made this collection a specialized resource for monitoring steel market developments and analyzing trends in this industry.
