• Significant urbanisation to continue

• China’s cumulative steel

consumption per capita remains wellbehind developed world

• This is despite substantial growthover the last decade

• We estimate four per cent growth insteel demand this decade – but off ahuge base

• Crude steel production in China

expected to peak towards 2030

Continued urbanisation will drive Chinese steeldemand growth

• ~100 million tonnes of mostlyChinese iron ore production is

unprofitable today• Evidence that a large proportion of 

this already curtailed

• Cost escalation and rising capital

intensity will increase pressure onmarginal project returns

• Scarcity of highly skilled labour,access to financing

• Rising threat of resource nationalism• Recent high profile project deferrals

The industry supply responseis increasingly challenged
