In June 2026, Italy’s crude steel production reached 1.90 million tonnes, an increase of 6.1% year-on-year. For the first half of the year, cumulative production totaled 11.499 million tonnes, up 3.5% year-on-year. By product category, long steel production in the first half reached 6.90 million tonnes—a 7.8% year-on-year increase—serving as the primary driver of growth. S420GD+ZM HDG, Meanwhile, flat steel production stood at 4.60 million tonnes, down 5.4% year-on-year, reflecting a relatively weaker market recovery. Although flat steel production saw a 7.7% year-on-year rebound in June, its cumulative performance remains below that of the same period last year, highlighting a divergence in product-specific trends.
According to the latest data from the Italian steel industry association, Italy’s crude steel production in June 2026 was 1.90 million tonnes; while this is a decrease from the 2.023 million tonnes recorded in May, it represents a 6.1% year-on-year increase.
From January to June 2026, Italy’s cumulative crude steel production reached 11.499 million tonnes, an increase of 3.5% year-on-year.
On a monthly basis, Italy’s crude steel production consistently showed year-on-year growth. S420GD+ZM HDG, Specifically, output reached 1.722 million tonnes in January (up 1.8% year-on-year), 1.866 million tonnes in February (up 2.7%), 2.057 million tonnes in March (up 0.2%), 1.931 million tonnes in April (up 7.3%), 2.023 million tonnes in May (up 3.1%), and 1.90 million tonnes in June (up 6.1%).
Regarding product mix, Italy’s production of long products in June stood at approximately 1.10 million tonnes, an increase of 5.4% year-on-year, while the output of flat products reached 0.78 million tonnes, up 7.7% year-on-year.
However, the cumulative production trends for long products and flat products diverged during the first half of the year. From January to June 2026, Italy’s production of long products reached 6.9 million tonnes, an increase of 7.8% year-on-year; meanwhile, production of flat products stood at 4.6 million tonnes, down 5.4% year-on-year.
Data indicates that the growth in Italy’s crude steel output during the first half of the year was primarily driven by an increase in the production of long products. S420GD+ZM HDG, Although the output of flat products saw a year-on-year recovery in June, the cumulative total for the first half remained below that of the same period last year, suggesting a relatively weak overall recovery in the flat products market.
