Steel - where´s your future and when?

Many data exist and many statistics are available on steel production and demand for this metal, anyway, each of them focusing a special field, may it be economics, economy, technology, steel production figures or steel consumption, may it be restricted to national or may it be extended to international regions ... ...
To be able to track down how to cope with this challenge, I tried to pull together several studies and forecasts by management consultants, bankers, steel associations, and personal communications and an included face-to-face interview.
