In 2014, the consumption of metal products in the region, as it is expected in Wordsteel, will increase by 3.8 percent to 59 million 800 thousand tons with improving the position in foreign markets.

According to Wordsteel, steel consumption in the Russian Federation will grow by 2.6 percent in 2013 and will be 42 million 900 thousand tons, while in 2014 it will increase by 3.9 percent and reach 44 million 600 thousand tons.
