"The Global Steel Market to be Worth $1,195 Bn in 2012" Says Visiongain Report

London, United Kingdom, September 14, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Visiongain author of The Steel Market Analysis, Financials & Forecasting 2012-2022 report commented that "Steel demand is highly correlated with macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, and government expenditures. Due to the debt crisis in the EU and slowing down in the GDP growth rate in countries such as China and India, growth in global steel demand will slightly decline in 2012 compared to the previous year. Construction will remain the major end-use sector followed by automotive and machinery. These aforementioned three sectors will remain the leading end use sectors during the forecast period."
