South Korea Pig Iron Market Synopsis

South Korea is the fourth largest importer of pig iron globally, with an estimated annual import volume of 6.9 million tons in 2020. The countrys major suppliers are China and Japan. The average price for imported pig iron increased from US$426/ton in 2016 to US$488/ton in 2020. This increase was driven by a combination of higher production costs due to environmental regulations and rising global demand for steel products, which also affected the prices for raw materials such as pig iron.

The South Korean market is expected to further develop over the forecast period (2021-2026). Demand will remain driven by domestic construction activities as well as projects related to infrastructure development, including 5G networks and smart cities initiatives. In addition, growth opportunities exist with respect to long-term contracts between international suppliers that offer more competitive pricing compared with spot purchases on the open market. Furthermore, planned investments into new plants or expansions could support a positive outlook if they come into fruition within this timeframe.
