Steel demand growth vs Crude steel production

Steel demand growth (annual) and Crude steel production (monthly) worldwide. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

Global. Steel demand growth is published as annual figures and crude steel production as monthly ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: steel demand growth is annual and crude steel production is monthly. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.
