Brussels, 1 October 2026 - Europe’s steel market remains under significant pressure, with exports falling sharply, production at historic lows and demand expected to remain almost flat in 2026, according to the European Steel Association’s (EUROFER) latest Economic and Steel Market Outlook 2026-2027. EU steel exports to third countries fell by 20% in the first half of 2026, with declines across all major export destinations covered by the report.
