Canada Steel Industry Statistics
In 2022, Canada produced 12.96 million metric tons of crude steel—down 4.2% from 2021. See what’s driving demand and prices.
Lime Industry Statistics
Over 90% of U.S. coal-plant FGD scrubbers use limestone or lime—see how this shapes lime market demand and operating costs.
Brass Industry Statistics
China accounted for 58% of global brass output in 2023 (1.85 million tonnes)—discover how that reshapes supply, trade, and demand.
Silver Mining Industry Statistics
Silver demand hit 1.24 billion ounces in 2022—how does mining’s water use and mercury emissions stack up?
Augusta Precious Metals Gold Mining Industry Statistics
Get the most current reality check on gold mining economics and risk at Augusta Precious Metals, from a 2024 gold price average of $2,042.30 per ounce to the sharp cost and volatility signals that move miner equities. You will also see how TSF management shows up across the industry with 62% of companies reporting at least one facility under FY2023 stewardship, then contrast that with how only a fraction of output losses and cost pressure come from the same sources.
Brazil Aluminum Industry Statistics
Brazil has 2.5 million metric tons of primary aluminum smelter capacity and accounts for 9.4% of global output, yet the same system is exposed to shifting EU ETS and CBAM import rules from 2023. Follow the full chain from low carbon electricity benchmarks and rising recycling from 28% to 31% to trade flows like 1.2 million metric tons of unwrought exports and 0.6 million metric tons of waste and scrap shipped to see where Brazil’s advantage is getting stronger or under pressure.
Europe Steel Industry Statistics
With EU ETS Phase 4 tightening to a 2.2% yearly cap reduction and free allowances for steel steadily shrinking, European mills are balancing carbon cost pressure against large free allocation designed to limit carbon leakage. At the same time, the electrifying gap is clear from the route economics and targets on the page, including IEA findings that hydrogen direct reduction can cut emissions by up to 90% plus and an EU push toward 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 alongside steel output scale from WSA Europe.
India Diamond Industry Statistics
India’s polished diamond exports jumped 14.9% to $24.39 billion in FY 2022 23 even as rough shipments started wobbling, with April to Feb FY24 rough exports down 36.44% to $10,012.25 crore. Track how USA is now taking 50% of polished demand, lab grown hits $500 million in 2023, and processing power in Surat, Antwerp routing, and shifting supplier shares reshape the industry’s balance.
Uranium Industry Statistics
Spot uranium hit $80.47 per lb on January 11, 2024 after averaging $52.12 per lb in 2023, even as nuclear still supplied about 10% of global power in 2022 and required 67,500 tonnes of uranium. From Canada’s large tailings and U.S. reactor fuel burn to Kazakhstan’s share of mine output, these Uranium Industry statistics connect price swings to the real material and environmental costs that sit behind every shipment.
Zinc Industry Statistics
Zinc demand and pricing moved sharply in 2022 with consumption hitting 13.4 million metric tons, yet the LME zinc spot price spiking to $4,100 per ton in March as the average LME price settled at $3,400. From galvanizing’s 52% share to China, Peru, Australia supply and reserves, this page connects production, trade and stockpiles with the cost swings that shape zinc markets.
Rare Earth Industry Statistics
In 2023, global rare earth oxide consumption hit 340,000 metric tons while China alone used 240,000 tons and produced 240,000 metric tons, intensifying the supply tension behind the 12 kg CO2 per kg NdPr average from processing and the shrinking policy buffer from only 8,000 tons of US REO stockpiled. A closer look at mines, tailings, prices and reserves including 350,000 metric tons world mine output, 130 million metric tons REO reserves with 44 million in China, and 2023 NdPr at $85/kg and terbium at $1,200/kg shows why magnet and electronics demand keep colliding with waste, risk, and trade dependence.
Marble Stone Industry Statistics
In 2023, engineered quartz marble hybrids captured 28% market share while waterjet cutting rose 25% and cut dust by 40%, signaling how production is getting cleaner as demand shifts. With global marble production climbing to 15.2 million metric tons in 2022 and exports reaching $8.9 billion led by Turkey and a $12.5 billion market projected to hit $18.2 billion by 2030, this page shows where growth is coming from and what tradeoffs industries are making to keep it sustainable.
Iron And Steel Industry Statistics
Steel demand is set to rise 2.1% in 2025 while the latest global electric arc furnace route output hit 363 million tonnes in 2023, spotlighting a shift in how steel is made even as markets tighten. From EU ETS reduction rules and respirable silica risk figures to a $650 per tonne US HRC average and record global trade above 390 million tonnes, the page connects production and pricing with health, policy, and decarbonization pressures shaping the next cycle.
European Steel Industry Statistics
After years of steady pressure on output and margins, Europe’s steel sector shows a 2025 shift in demand and production patterns you can see in the latest totals and trade flows. Compare current capacity and utilization against imports, and you will spot exactly where leverage has moved for producers across the continent.
Fracking Statistics
Recent fracking statistics show output and permitting moving in opposite directions, with production holding steady while new well approvals cool off. See the exact numbers behind that disconnect, and what it means for costs, risks, and local drilling pressure right now.
Eu Steel Industry Statistics
EU steel’s recovery is visible in the latest production rebound, but the sharper story is the cost squeeze as energy and input pressures keep margins under strain. Get the 2025 figures that link output gains to capacity utilization and pricing so you can see whether the upturn is broad based or just temporary.
Silica Industry Statistics
Silica Industry statistics tracking 2025 and 2026 signals what’s actually changing in supply, pricing, and production, and it is not the simple, steady trend many expect. See the latest pressure points and opportunities side by side so you can understand where margins are tightening and where the next growth window is forming.
Global Steel Industry Statistics
See how 2026 and latest available steel industry figures map the pressure points for supply, demand, and prices as growth and investment signals shift. If you track where the market is headed, this is the quickest way to spot what changed and why it matters.
Marble Industry Statistics
See how marble industry demand and pricing moved in 2025 while supply constraints tightened, reshaping expectations from one quarter to the next. The page pulls the latest figures together so you can spot the surprising gaps between production realities and market outcomes before the next cycle locks in.
China Aluminum Industry Statistics
China’s primary aluminium production runs at 41.5 million metric tons year to date through September 2024 while HS 76 trade flips between surpluses and higher costs driven by electricity and price swings, with exports at 5.2 million metric tons in 2023 and the 2023 aluminium cash price averaging $2,392 per tonne. The page connects smelter power intensity, carbon abatement limits tied to electricity decarbonization, and the demand shift from passenger cars and buildings to explain why China’s aluminium economics may look stable on paper yet move sharply at the operating level.
