4.5.1 Energy Steel Market Analysis
In all segments of the energy sector, including nuclear, wind power, electric and natural gas, steel
is the pivotal ingredient for producing and transmitting the energy. Due to the demanding
environment, carbon, micro-alloyed, high strength and stainless steels are all used in the
production of offshore platforms and pipelines. Some of the end-uses of steel in energy sectors are
oil and gas wells and platforms, pipelines, electricity power turbine components, electricity pylons,
wind turbines, transmission towers, electromagnets, transformer cores and electromagnetic
shields. Different kinds of steel are used in the energy sector, including plates, pipes, tubes,
sheets, bars and sections. The energy sector accounted for 3.5% of the global steel consumption.
Visiongain predicts that steel consumption in the energy sector will increase from a value of $39
billion in 2013 to a value of $55 billion in 2024.

7. Expert Opinion ____
7.1 Terence Soh, Senior Analyst, The Steel Index Ltd. Shanghai, China
Profile:
Terence Soh is a senior analyst from at The Steel Index (TSI), a leading provider of impartial price
information for key steel, scrap and iron ore products around the world, based on spot market
transactions. Visiongain interviewed Terence Soh and he offered to share his thoughts and gave
us a comprehensive and detailed insight into the global steel market. We would like to thank
Terence Soh for his contribution.
7.1.1 Why Consolidation and Price Risk Management are the Themes
for the Next Decade?
Visiongain: Why would you say are the key trends and developments in the steel market and
why?
Terence Soh: Consolidation and price risk management are the themes for the next decade. We
have witnessed an increase in global production levels unprecedented for generations, as
industrialising economies demand soared. Now, we have a large amount of installed capacity and
a more balanced supply/demand environment. As uneconomic steel mills are worked out of the
system, everyone else has to protect their margins. The steel market is evolving to use derivative
tools to hedge and protect their price risk exposure. The derivative tool (swaps/futures) started for
Iron Ore, but has developed rapidly into other products, like rebar, HRC, and etc. Singapore
exchange (SGX) started with Iron Ore swaps/futures and just recently in February starting the hot
rolled coil swaps/futures to satisfy the growing demand from steel participants to protect their
margins in finished steel products.
7.1.2 What Affects Iron Ore and Steel Prices?
Visiongain: Do you anticipate any substantial price decline in iron ore and steel prices in the next
ten years?
Terence Soh: The steel over capacity issues will remain and could worse in future, as many of the
mills in China are still continuing expanding their production capacity. This will have an impact on
the raw material and steel prices, unless demand increases to match output levels, or uneconomic
