Italy’s steel production fell by 10.8% month-on-month in April 2025, reflecting ongoing market volatility and subdued demand. Despite the decline, output remained 6.1% higher compared to April 2024, indicating some resilience in the sector.

Flat steel production saw a 9.6% drop from March, totaling 817 thousand tons, while long products output decreased by 8.3%, reaching 1.1 million tons. However, year-on-year figures showed a 13.3% increase in flat steel production and a 6.5% rise in long products output.

Industry analysts attribute the monthly decline to fluctuating demand and cautious buyer sentiment, but broader trends suggest a gradual recovery in Italy’s steel sector.
