Wedoany.com Report-Dec.26, Türkiye's crude steel production in November 2025 increased by 10% compared to November 2024, reaching 3.31 million tons, according to data from the World Steel Association. This figure also represents a 3.2% rise from the previous month.

Within the monthly output, billet production grew by 9.4% to 2.09 million tons, while slab production rose by 11.1% to 1.22 million tons.

For the cumulative period from January to November 2025, crude steel production advanced by 2% year-on-year to 34.6 million tons. During this timeframe, billet production increased by 5%, whereas slab production decreased by 3%.

In terms of production methods over the 11-month period, electric arc furnaces accounted for 72.2% of total crude steel output, with integrated plants contributing the remaining 27.8%.

The November performance highlights a positive trend in Türkiye's steel sector amid varying global conditions. The World Steel Association reported that worldwide crude steel production for November 2025 declined by 4.6% to 140.1 million tons compared to the same month in 2024. Türkiye's growth stood out among major producers, contrasting with reductions in several other countries.

This data reflects steady progress in Türkiye's steel industry, which maintains a significant role in regional and global supply chains. The increase in production supports industrial activities and contributes to economic stability through consistent output levels.

The figures are based on official statistics released by the World Steel Association on December 23, 2025. The association compiles data from reporting countries covering most of the global production volume.

Türkiye's steel sector continues to adapt to market dynamics, focusing on efficient operations and capacity utilization. The rise in November output demonstrates resilience and capability to respond to demand signals effectively.

Overall, the production gains in both monthly and cumulative terms indicate sustained activity in the industry. Electric arc furnace dominance aligns with established practices in the country, offering flexibility in raw material use and energy efficiency.

These developments position Türkiye as a reliable contributor to international steel availability while supporting domestic manufacturing needs.
