In January - May 2025, the export of metallurgical products from Kazakhstan is 13% lower than the same period last year. The physical volumes of supplies decreased by 11%. The main contribution to the fall was given by Uranus (–39%), whose deliveries were reduced both in physical terms and in price. The export of copper ores (–17%), copper cathods (–14%) and iron ores (–24%) also decreased. Deliveries in the whole metallurgy (in particular, rental and rods made of steel) showed moderate growth, especially in the segment of hot -rolled rolled and corked steel.
at the level of countries, the main decrease was to Russia (–32%), China (-13%), France (-35%) and Japania (–32%). So, the supply of uranium (–77%) and iron ores (–28%) fell sharply to Russia, and copper ores (–11%) and copper cathods (–35%) to China. Uranium exports (–40%) were reduced to France, and in Japan ferroalloys (–31%). Only the Russian Federation and the PRC form a steady demand for the products of Kazakhstani metallurgy, and the fall on them has a strong effect on the general dynamics. In general, the share of the Russian Federation and China fell from 69% to 64%. At the same time, some positive shifts in alternative markets are observed. Export to the UK has doubled (101%) due to the growth of silver supplies, to Italy more than three times (230%) due to aluminum, to Poland (87%) and Belgium (63%) due to the growth of aluminum, titanium and molybdenum export. There is also high activity on the part of Turkey (20%), where the supply of cathodes from copper and the Country of Central Asia increased: Kyrgyzstan (38%) and Tajikistan (25%). Separately, it is worth noting Indonesia, where large supplies of ferroalloys began for the first time, providing growth from zero to 60 million
