CISA: Monthly Report on the Operation of Major Steel-Consuming Industries, January-February 2025

From January to February 2025, the construction industry, a major steel-consuming sector, continued to decline, while the manufacturing industry maintained steady growth. Among them, the main indicators of the real estate sector continued to decrease YoY, with the rate of decline narrowing. Infrastructure construction investment and power investment maintained growth. The added value of the machinery industry continued to grow, and the export value of mechanical and electrical products increased. Automobile production achieved rapid growth, with NEV production continuing to surge, while the growth rate of automobile exports declined. The production of the three major white goods in the home appliance industry maintained growth, with the growth rate of home appliance exports narrowing. Container production also maintained growth.
