Brussels, 06 May 2021 – The COVID-19 pandemic slashed steel consumption forecasts and the overall economic outlook across the EU. Shutdown measures implemented by governments that began in earnest in March 2020 severely impacted manufacturing activity and steel-using industrial sectors.

European steel industry, represented by EUROFER, is progressively transitioning towards greener solutions and plays a crucial role in moving towards a carbon neutral economy.
