Webinar to discuss the European Parliament's 5-year steel price forecast
Buyers of the MEP's report on steel price forecasts for 2025 will be able to chat with its creators at a special live webinar dedicated to the publication's five-year forecasts until 2030.
The MEPs postponed the webinar on the forecast of steel prices due to high demand and will now hold an online webinar - the event will take place at 15:00 on December 4. Participants will hear a discussion from the head of the European Parliament's Price Analysis and Forecasts department, Kay Ayub, and market analysts John Carruthers—Green and Laura Hodges, and then answer questions live.
The webinar is open to anyone who has purchased a copy of the Steel Price Forecast, which details steel price forecasts for Asia, Europe and the United States for the period up to 2030. The report also provides five-year forecasts for the cost of raw materials, including iron ore, coking coal and ferrous scrap, as well as a summary of future price trends and factors affecting steel supply and demand.
Ahead of the Carruthers — Green webinar, which will take place next month. said: "So many things happened in 2025, and we expect even more changes in the market as we move forward to 2026 and beyond. I'm really looking forward to the webinar to introduce the audience to the thoughts and assumptions behind our latest five-year forecasts, and to share what we think awaits the global steel industry in the future."

Trade flows have been revised due to the imposition of tariffs on steel and other products by US President Donald Trump.

Ayub said uncertainty has become a "defining feature" of many global steel markets this year. In this volatile trading environment, she said: "In times of such uncertainty, providing access to the most accurate, independently researched information about the steel market has never been more important than it is now."
