France Steel Market Trends:

Shift to Electric Arc Furnace Technology in Steel Production

The steel industry is seeing a significant transition toward electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, which reflects increased attempts to modernize manufacturing processes. EAF mills, which employ scrap metal and direct reduced iron (DRI) as raw materials, are gradually replacing traditional blast furnaces. This change supports global environmental goals by lowering carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency. Governments have an important role in promoting investments in this new technology. The switch to EAF mills is not merely a response to environmental concerns, but also a larger effort to innovate within the sector. As corporations embrace this approach, the future of steel manufacturing appears to be more environmentally friendly and resource efficient. These factors are intensifying the France steel market growth. For example, in May 2025, ArcelorMittal announced its plans to invest EUR 1.2 Billion in Dunkirk, France, to install an electric arc furnace (EAF) production line. This move reflects the company's collaboration with the French government, which has played a significant role in supporting France's steel industry. The investment follows a previous decision to pause some European investments to convert blast furnaces to EAF mills fed by scrap and direct-reduced iron (DRI).

Steel Production Witnessing Strong Recovery

The steel sector is expanding rapidly, with large year-over-year increases in output. This jump demonstrates a favorable market change, fueled by recovery efforts and increased demand. Steel production has consistently increased, indicating resilience and a return to pre-pandemic levels. The sector is benefiting from improved manufacturing processes and stronger market circumstances, resulting in larger monthly outputs than in prior years. This development demonstrates the steel sector's continuous recovery, with businesses adjusting to changing market requirements and difficulties. As production levels climb, the sector is poised for long-term expansion, aided by stronger economic circumstances and continuous investments in advanced technology. The rebound points to a bright future for steel production going ahead. For instance, in March 2025, French steelmakers increased steel production by 10.4% year-on-year, reaching 921 Thousand Tons, securing 18th place globally in steel production rankings by the WorldSteel Association. Between January and March, steel production totaled 2.59 million tons, up 2.1% from the previous year. In 2024, French steel production grew by 7.6%, showing a strong recovery. The average monthly production in 2024 was 896.25 Thousand Tons, higher than in 2023 and 2022.
