SMA
About the SMA
- Composed of 35 North American electric arc furnace (“EAF”) steel producing
Member Companies, and 118 Associate Member steel industry suppliers
- SMA Members account for approximately 75% of U.S. domestic steel capacity
- Today, roughly two-thirds of North American steel production comes from
the scrap-based EAF process, up from just 10% in the early 1970s

Set the Tone - Economy
•
The US “fiscal cliff“ poses the most immediate risk to the US
economy
•
Pace of US growth in 2013 estimated at 2%, near
stagnation
•
While US unemployment rate declined, still above prerecession levels
•
Rising energy production and housing rebounding are
bright spots (“race to gas”)
•
Capital spending is a downside risk
•
US trade deficit is unsustainable

US Steel Imports
Factors in the Surge of Steel Imports
• Weakened global economy
– Asian market downturn, large overcapacity of steel
– European recession
– U.S. market still weak
• Market interference by foreign governments:
– Subsidies
– Raw material export restrictions
– Import restrictions on steel or steel containing products
– Other interventions

Expanding Future US Steel Production
The United States is unique among major steel
producing nations:
• The US is a net importer of steel, yet domestic capacity is
utilization only at appox 75%
• The US is the world’s largest exporter of scrap
• The US is a low cost steel producer
Expanding US Steel Production
Comparative Advantages in US
The United States:
• Is self-sufficient in steelmaking raw materials, especially scrap (2011
– generated 84mmt of scrap, but consumed only 55mmt)
(~ 75%of production costs)
• Since 2002, imports 26.2% of steel consumption, while capacity
utilization only appox 80%
• Has relatively low energy prices
• Has high productivity to offset wage rates
• Has the world’s largest capital market
Expanding Future US Steel
Production
Conclusions
• Need policies that encourage expanded domestic steel
production to utilize domestic capacity
• Foreign export restrictions on steel scrap have many negative
consequences
• Expanding US steel production through the conversion of
scrap into steel would create high-paying jobs, increase GDP,
reduce the trade deficit, and provide added tax revenues
• The expansion must occur without massive government
investments, subsidies, and interventions; but needs to be
based on comparative economics and market forces
• Significant amounts of imports should be replaced with
domestically produced steel
11th International Steel Market
and Trade Conference
• Volatile and fragile times continue
• U.S. is in a traffic jam, moving slightly
forward, but don’t know other
consequences. Gridlock continues
• Uncertainty will continue.
• Increasing steel capacity without regard to
market forces or comparative advantage is
wrong
• Reasons for optimism in steel in North
America:
– Favorable gains with reemerging manufacturing
base, including benefits of shale gas
– Scrap-based, 75% of cost – local supply
– Low cost on global basis (energy is positive, labor
less than 10%, others have higher transportation
costs)
– Relatively strong market and resiliency
– Better & stronger company balance sheets
