The EU's CBAM and global decarbonization requirements are accelerating the adoption of hydrogen metallurgy and carbon capture (CCUS), but the expansion of production capacity in Southeast Asia is intensifying environmental pressure. It is expected that the steel demand in developed economies will increase by 1.9% in 2025.
AI, robots and automation (such as LoopX and Senseye) are in the lead, reducing human risks and enhancing efficiency. Powder metallurgy and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technologies are emerging in EV and aerospace applications.
