The lay of the water
Where steel data provider data actually comes from.
Steel may be the best-documented heavy industry on earth, and Datadory packages that documentation as products rather than pointers: twenty-three primary records plus two cross-listed neighbors, each landing with a field dictionary, sample rows and a coverage statement.
Four families carry the shelf.
Official statistics hold the macro record — EU steel & basic-metals production statistics serves monthly NACE C24 production indices across 23 European geographies from January 1953, UNSD Industrial Commodity Statistics (steel) carries annual crude-steel output for about 103 countries in physical quantity and value, and three USGS ledgers cover iron ore, iron and steel and ferrous scrap on annual cycles stretching to 1900.
Trade associations hold the pulse. Monthly crude steel production (71 countries) reports national tonnages for roughly 70 countries representing about 98% of world output; JISF Japan steel statistics splits Japanese crude steel by furnace type and adds order books by consuming sector; WV Stahl German steel statistics and EUROFER European Steel data do the same for Germany and the EU27; and AISI Industry Data keeps a weekly finger on American raw steel output and capability utilization across five districts.
Governments watch the borders.
The Steel Import Monitor (SIMA) carries United States import filings sliced by partner country and HTS product group with melt-and-pour origin, India's Steel Import Management System (SIMS) data logs individual consignments under ITC(HS) chapters 72, 73 and 86, and the Steel Trade Monitor Country Reports frame the flows of 15 economies.
The factory gets its own records too.
Three labeled surface-defect sets — Severstal Steel Defect Detection with 12,568 masked strip images, NEU Metal Surface Defects Database with 1,800 six-class crops and Steel Plates Faults (UCI) with 1,941 feature rows across seven fault labels — sit beside Steel Industry Energy Consumption, a full mill-year of fifteen-minute load readings from a working Korean plant.
Every record arrives through Datadory typed, documented and shaped to the cadence you name.

Who fishes here
Four personas work this shelf, and each gets a dedicated page — the shelf rewards people who need the whole chain, from ore to coil to the defects in its surface:
- Data Scientists & ML Engineers
- Developers & Data-Product Builders Steel data for developers and builders is strongest as machine-learning packs: four defect and energy datasets score relevance 3, led by Steel Plates Faults at quality 9.
- Investors & Quant Researchers
- Market Researchers & Consultants
Choosing between them
Start from the question, then take the cards in order — the top of this shelf is unusually strong, with seven records scoring 9 on Datadory's rubric and nothing load-bearing below 6:
Frequently asked questions
Where can I get weekly US steel production data?
AISI Industry Data is the pulse: an estimated weekly raw steel production figure with capability utilization, cut five ways across the North East, Great Lakes, Midwest, Southern and Western districts, anchored to a Saturday-ending week. Monthly shipment and import-permit releases sit alongside it.
How do I track US steel imports by country and product?
The Steel Import Monitor (SIMA) carries weekly import filings sliced by partner country and HTS product group with melt-and-pour origin, plus monthly Census-based import and export monitors beside the dashboards. History reaches back to 2005-era records, and the Global Steel Trade Monitor frames the same flows for 15 economies.
Which datasets compare crude steel production across countries?
Three altitudes stack together: worldsteel's monthly release covers roughly 70 countries representing about 98% of world output; UNSD's Industrial Commodity Statistics carries annual crude series for about 103 countries in physical quantity and value; and the Steel Statistical Yearbook lays out roughly 90 countries against 60 indicators across ten years.
What can I use to train a steel surface-defect detection model?
Three benchmarks complement each other. Severstal Steel Defect Detection contributes 12,568 labeled strip images at 256x1600 pixels with run-length-encoded masks in four classes. The NEU Metal Surface Defects Database offers 1,800 grayscale crops across six defect classes, 300 per class. Steel Plates Faults (UCI) provides 1,941 plate instances with 27 features and seven fault labels for tabular baselines.
How far back do steel production statistics go?
Further than most industries: Eurostat's NACE C24 production index starts in January 1953, USGS Data Series 140 reaches to 1900, Minerals Yearbook chapters are archived to 1932, and UNSD maintains a historical series from 1950. Annual summary editions run from 1996 forward with five-year windows in each.
Is there transaction-level data for India's steel imports?
Yes - the Steel Import Management System (SIMS) publishes monthly transaction files of roughly 42,000-plus rows each, one row per import consignment under ITC(HS) chapters 72, 73 and 86, covering October 2019 through October 2025. India's Ministry of Steel Monthly Summary pairs that border view with production, consumption and CPSE performance plus a top-six world comparison.
Where do benchmark steel quotes come from?
Two complementary layers. SteelBenchmarker publishes twice-monthly benchmark quotes for hot-rolled band, cold-rolled coil, plate and rebar across the USA, Western Europe, China and the world export market, with two-plus years of history. SteelMint assesses hundreds of commodity-spec-location series across nine regions from India to the Americas.
Can I model energy load inside a steel plant?
The Steel Industry Energy Consumption dataset provides 35,040 fifteen-minute intervals covering full-year 2018 at a single South Korean mill, eleven columns wide: consumption in kWh, lagging and leading reactive power, power factor, CO2 in tCO2, and usage-class labels from Light to Maximum - a complete annual cycle for load-forecasting and efficiency work.
How does Datadory deliver steel data?
By files, scheduled feeds, or straight into your warehouse - daily, weekly or hourly, your call. Rows arrive typed with stable join keys and the complete field dictionary attached, whether the record is a monthly ministry summary, a weekly border ledger or a decade-deep annual series, so switching cadence later is configuration rather than migration.
