German crude steel production increased in April
German steel production continued its upward trend in April 2026 and showed year-on-year growth, although production volumes have not yet reached normal levels.
The volume of steel production in the country in April amounted to 3.2 million tons. This indicator indicates an increase of 9.5% compared to the same period last year. In the period from January to April, total production also increased by 9.1% year-on-year. Analyzing the production segments, it can be noted that the production of oxygen steel increased by 10.7% in April. Steel production in electric arc furnaces reached 1.013 million tons, which is 7.1% more than last year. The data showed that the recovery trend in the German steel sector continues, and also indicates that production levels remain below the national average. The total production volume remained at 37.5 million tons, and the sector's capacity is still below the threshold of 40 million tons, which is considered critical for the industry.Author: Editorial staff of SteelRadar
