Economic Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Metal Industry Size, Share, Analysis, Industry Report and Forecast 2019-2025
Metal
is a group of elementary substances characterized by high strength and better
electrical and thermal conductivity. There are mainly two types of metals which
include ferrous and non-ferrous. Ferrous metals include steel and cast iron and
non-ferrous metals include aluminum, zinc, copper, nickel, lead, tin, titanium
and alloys, including brass. These substances have significant use in several
industries, such as construction, automobile, chemical, oil & gas,
electronics, and medical equipment. Owing to its potential applications in
different industries, the demand for metal products has witnessed significant
growth over the years. For instance, the World Steel Association forecasted on
its release of Short Range Outlook on April 2019 that the global demand for
steel will reach 1,735 million tonnes in 2019, a rise of 1.3% over 2018.

The
share of China in the global production of crude steel reached 51.3% in 2018
from 50.3% in 2017. The country produced 928.3 million tonnes of crude steel in
2018. In India, the production of crude steel in India was 106.5 million
tonnes, increased by 4.9% over 2017. With this increased production, India has
taken the position of Japan as the second major steel-producing country across
the globe. The major crude steel production companies include ArcelorMittal,
China Baowu Group, and Nippon Steel Corp. with 96.4 million tonnes, 67.4
million tonnes, and 49.2 million tonnes, respectively.
Currently, the global metal
industry is facing challenges due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The demand for
steel is expected to decline significantly due to lockdown effect within
several countries, including Russia, India, Italy, and China. Several
automobile companies have shutdown their manufacturing operations due to the
government orders to suspend production. For instance, Daimler and Volkswagen
declared recently that they will temporarily shut down production of vehicle
and engine at its factories in Europe due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Likewise,
Fiat Chryslers and Ferrari have also shut down their operations across
countries. As a result, the automobile production of these companies has been
stopped or declined, which in turn, restricted the demand for metal products,
including aluminum, iron, and steel. The important metal properties which make
them ideal for use in vehicle manufacturing include lightweight, recyclability,
and strength. Therefore, the automobile industry is one of the major consumers
of metals and the decline in industrial production will thereby lead to a
reduction in the prices of metals.
The
global metal industry is classified based on types, including ferrous and
non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals are being significantly affected by the
coronavirus epidemics as the production of steel in certain countries
witnessing fall due to COVID-19 effect. For instance, in March 2020, Arcelor
Mittal decided to temporarily shut down its production in Italy with effect due
to the devastating impact of coronavirus in the country. In addition, stoppage
or slowdown of mining operations has further increased the concerns regarding
the availability of raw material for metal production. Supply chain disruptions
are also a crucial factor affecting metals production capacity
