Global growth and Chinese investments in stainless
steel will continue to drive demand growth.
Austenitic ratio less sensitive to price variations due to
technology limitations.
Demand in non-stainless steel applications is being
driven by recovery in aerospace, energy and batteries
industries.
Supply expansion is constrained in the short-term by
technological challenges, high capex, lack of resources
and production disruptions.
