This report is currently available in Russian language only. However, we can provide an English version of the report within 3 weeks after receiving a payment.
This report is the fourth edition of the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI/HBI) Market Study.
The objective of the study is to analyze the global DRI/HBI market, covering the period from 2015 to 2025.
A unique feature of this report is its analysis of DRI production in Russia and the provision of information on the main DRI production processes.
The object of the study is direct reduced iron.
This work is a desk study. The following sources of information were used: data from statistical committees of the EAEU countries (including Rosstat, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan); international databases of the UN (UNdata), World Bank, Eurostat; international and European trade data (UN Comtrade, Trade Map); the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (until 2022); the Unified Information System in Procurement; rail transportation statistics; the SBIS database; foreign specialized companies; annual and quarterly reports of securities issuers; Industry and regional press, conference materials, websites of manufacturers and consumers of the products under study; scientific and technical literature, etc.; the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS) patent database; the InfoMine database, etc.
Research timeframe: 2015-2025, forecast to 2035.
Research geography: Global, Russia, India, Iran, Mexico, Algeria, etc.
Scope: The report consists of 9 parts and contains 132 pages, including 28 tables, 27 figures, and 2 appendices.
The first chapter of the study is devoted to an analysis of the current state of DRI production, highlighting the main production processes and product forms. The chapter also briefly presents the main development trends in DRI production technology.
The second chapter of the study presents characteristics of the main DRI production processes, in particular, Midrex (Midrex®, MXCOL®, HOTLINK®) and HYL/Energiron (HYL ZR). Additionally, characteristics of reduced iron production technologies using liquid-phase reduction and the "hybrid" process (ITmk3, COREX, HIsmelt) are provided. The quality requirements for DRI from several manufacturers are presented.
The third chapter of the study is devoted to an analysis of DRI production worldwide by main technological processes and countries from 2015-2024. The main regions and countries producing DRI, as well as major manufacturing companies, are highlighted.
The fourth chapter of the study lists a number of new DRI production projects in individual countries.
The fifth chapter of the study examines the cost of DRI production globally and in individual countries. A global DRI production cost curve for 2015-2025 is constructed. Chapter 5 of the study analyzes global trade in DRI for the period 2015-2024. Russia's role in the global trade of metallized raw materials is identified.
Chapter 6 analyzes global DRI/HBI prices for 2015-2025.
Chapter 7 presents data on DRI consumption volumes globally and in individual countries for 2015-2024, identifies the main drivers influencing demand for this product, and highlights some of the largest DRI consumers.
Chapter 8 examines the role and place of DRI in the structure of iron-containing raw material consumption in steelmaking.
Chapter 9 presents a forecast for DRI production globally and in Russia through 2035.
The appendix to the report provides contact information for selected DRI market participants and CIS metallurgical companies with experience using metallized raw materials in steel production.
The target audience for this study is:
- DRI market participants – producers and consumers;
- potential investors.
This study is intended to serve as a reference guide for marketing departments and decision-makers working in this market.
