About steel

An industry at the heart of the EU economy

Steel is the most versatile industrial material in the world. The thousands of different grades and types of steel developed by the industry make the modern world possible.

Steel is 100% recyclable and therefore is a fundamental part of the circular economy.

As a fundamental engineering material, steel is also an essential factor in the development and deployment of innovative, CO2-mitigating technologies, improving resource efficiency and fostering sustainable development in Europe.

Press release: EU-U.S. trade deal must preserve 3.8 million tonnes of tariff-free EU steel exports to the U.S. and stop steel deflection to the EU, says EUROFER

Brussels, 11 July 2025 – The delay and ongoing uncertainty about a deal on tariffs between the EU and the U.S. further worsens the crisis for the European steel industry. U.S. steel tariffs at 50% are adding fuel to an already explosive situation, putting the sector at risk of losing all its exports to the U.S. and facing a surge of deflected trade flows redirected from the U.S. to the EU market. The lack of bold and timely implementation of the Steel and Metals Action Plan is further accelerating the sector’s deterioration, says the European Steel Association.

Press release: The 2040 climate target requires an industrial revolution, but its enabling conditions - laudably recognised in the Steel and Metals Plan - are not there yet, warns EUROFER

Brussels, 02 July 2025 – The 90% climate target proposed today by the European Commission demands an unprecedented transformation of EU society and industry in just 15 years. The European steel industry is already doing its part, but a viable business case for the transition is still lacking. To enable it, the EU needs to implement the Steel and Metals Action Plan much more decisively, delivering a highly effective trade protection against global overcapacity, access to internationally competitive low carbon energy and scrap, and a watertight CBAM, says the European Steel Association.
