Overview
Following weak demand in early 2020, international scrap markets and other steel raw materials have recorded steep and often volatile price growth through Q4 2020 and into early 2021. Scrap markets could tighten further with the return of China to the international market. Meanwhile resource security seems to be sparking a wave of economic nationalism as Europe, Russia and other scrap suppling regions consider or extend export restrictions or tariffs. Against this fast changing backdrop how long will this rally last? How will EAF’s compete for scrap with China? How much scrap will China actually buy? Will Turkey remain the market maker for scrap? Who will be the winners and losers? Renowned steel experts from around the world will present their analysis on recent steel scrap market trends and share their views of what we can expect in 2021 and over the next few years as the markets find a new equilibrium.

Virtual Conference
Like everyone else, we look forward to when the steel industry can gather together in person once again. Until then, we are very excited to show you what our new virtual event platform can do – from interactive face to face networking, to personalised agendas, and the ability to engage with speakers via live Q&As and polls.
The virtual format also provides some advantages that you can’t get from face to face events, such as watching or re-watching programme sessions on-demand, plus the opportunity to connect with many more attendees from around the world that may not have been able to travel in 2021.

Keynote session 1: Steel scrap markets - Supply vs demand picture
Following weak demand in early 2020, international scrap markets and other steel raw materials recorded dramatic price growth in Q4 2020 through early January 2021. Since then, prices have declined at a steady rate. Scrap supply is expected to tighten with the return of China to the international market. While resource security seems to be sparking a wave of economic nationalism in Europe, Russia and other traditional scrap suppling regions. What is the expected steel scrap demand from China? Will Turkey continue to be the market-maker for scrap prices? Where will scrap markets find equilibrium? Renowned steel experts from around the world will present their analysis on recent steel scrap market trends and share their views of what we can expect in 2021 and over the next few years as the markets find a new equilibrium.
• What is the expected demand volume from China?
• Will Turkey continue to be the market maker for scrap prices?
• Where will scrap supply and demand find equilibrium?

A senior industry analyst will present a breakdown of the key elements and trends that could shape the fortunes of the steel producers against this new raw materials backdrop. Senior industry figures will then discuss and dissect this future in the panel session.• EAF vs BF production cost advantages analysed
