Metals

Sector Fact Sheet


1. Sector Description
The metal industry consists of two major groups: ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals, which include aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, nickel and tin, are used to make alloys, castings, forgings, extrusions, wires, cables, pipes, and find their application in a number of sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure facilities like power plants, automobiles, railways, telecommunications, building and construction and in engineering and chemical plants. Ferrous metals primarily consist of iron and different varieties of steel.

Overview

The world metals market stabilised in 2010 and 2011 following a steep decline in 2008 and 2009 due to the global financial crisis. Asia-Pacific represents the largest as well as fastest growing market for metals in the world. Europe represents the second largest market for metals in the world. Iron and steel commands the largest segment of the global metals market. They comprise more than half the metals industry in terms of volume, followed by aluminium. According to the World Steel Association, world crude steel production reached a record level of 1,527 million tons (Mt) in 2011, outperforming the 2010 record of 1,414 Mt, a 6.8% jump. China remains the largest steel-producing country in the world, accounting for roughly half of all global production at 46%, though its first quarter 2012 volumes were barely up from the year-earlier level. Japan, the second largest producer, posted a 4.1% decline. The United States is in third position, though its first quarter production was 9.2% higher year over year. South Africa's large, well-developed metals industry, with vast natural resources and a supportive infrastructure, represents roughly a third of all South Africa's manufacturing. It is comprised of basic iron ore and steel, basic non-ferrous metals and metal products. The iron and steel basic industries involve the manufacture of primary iron and steel products from smelting to semifinished stages. South Africa is the largest steel producer in Africa (almost 60% of Africa's total production). Primary steel products and semi-finished products include billets, blooms, slabs, forgings, reinforcing bars, railway track material, wire rod, seamless tubes and plates.

Africas working aluminium production capacity totals just under 1.75 million tonnes per annum (tpa) and is mostly located in Southern Africa, with South Africa representing 54% of capacity and Mozambique a further 32%. All the capacity in this region of Africa is operated by BHP Billitons subsidiaries.
