Details

There is a significant future UK demand opportunity for the UK steel industry. Based on the current levels of domestic supply achieved by the UK steel industry this represents a £3.8 billion a year opportunity in revenue terms in 2030, of which construction and automotive are the most important sectors. With further growth in UK content in domestic supply chains, the opportunity is even greater.

The scale of the opportunity has the potential to be transformational for the industry and there are a number of challenges to accessing it. This report therefore helps industry and government to identify key themes to address in the development of future strategies for the sector.
