The biggest increase was seen in the consumption of angles, rising by 49.4% YoY in H1 2010. Meanwhile, rebar consumption, which saw a rise of 2% YoY in January to April, increased by 11.5% YoY in January to June this year and rose by 8% MoM and by more than 50% YoY. The consumption of cold-rolled sheet in June this year increased by 13.8% MoM and by 53.1% YoY.
During the first half of this year, UGMK noted the increase of the share of ‘other rolled steel products' in Ukraine's total volume of rolled steel product consumption to 36.9% from 25.5% MoM mainly due to the rise of 5.5% in the share of round billet, the increase of 1.3% in the share of square billet and the rise of 1.2% in the share of round bar.
At the same time, during the period in question, UGMK noted a significant decrease of 7% in the share of hot-rolled steel and a drop of 1.9% in the share of rebar.
In January to June this year, Ukraine’s biggest consumers of rolled steel were the metal trade sector, shipments to which amounted to 28.3% of total rolled steel product deliveries, followed by the pipe sector, with its share of overall consumption in the domestic rolled steel market amounting to 26.2%, and machine building, with the share of 17.9%.
