BMI View: Across all types of metals, we expect subdued growth in both production and consumption in
Australia as a weakening global economic outlook, notably China, continue to take its toll on Australia's
commodity driven economy. While significant additional global monetary stimulus should help to boost
metal prices in the near term, the bout of loosening measures will be insufficient to stem the slowdown and
the medium-term outlook for metals remain weak.
The slowdown in the metals industry in Australia is best exemplified by the country's monthly crude steel
production, which has continued to slide into negative territory following positive growth in 2010. Weak
demand from slowing domestic construction and a cooling export market will continue to undermine
Australia's steel industry in 2013. Crude steel production is expected to have contracted by 6.5% in 2012,
but we forecast an uptick in growth of 1.2% in 2013, and national production is unlikely to approach precrisis
levels for many years. The country's two dominant steel producers, BlueScope Steel Ltd and Arrium
Ltd (previously known as OneSteel Ltd), has embarked on a series of consolidation plans and restructuring
programmes aimed at reducing operating costs and curbing overcapacity amid an environment of weak
demand and declining steel prices.
