Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: Hot rolled coil prices in Northeast Asia increased as demand strengthened from the automotive and construction industries. The hot rolled coil price index reflected upward momentum, supported by higher crude steel production and tighter supply due to scheduled mill maintenance. Strong export demand also provided price support, while shipping constraints elevated freight rates, raising procurement costs. Seasonal restocking by downstream manufacturers further contributed to price firming. Overall, balanced supply-demand dynamics and increased industrial consumption drove prices higher in the region.
Europe: In Europe, hot rolled coil prices declined as weaker demand from the construction and manufacturing sectors weighed on the market. The hot rolled coil price index fell as import competition from Asia pressured domestic mills, forcing price adjustments. Economic uncertainty and slower infrastructure activity further dampened buying interest. Higher energy costs for steelmaking persisted but were insufficient to offset softer demand fundamentals. Distributors maintained cautious purchasing strategies, leading to reduced transaction volumes and downward pressure on regional prices this quarter.
India: Hot rolled coil prices in India dropped significantly due to sluggish demand from infrastructure and automotive sectors. The hot rolled coil price index reflected a bearish trend as oversupply from domestic mills coincided with reduced buying interest during the monsoon season. Export opportunities were limited by competitive global pricing, curbing external demand. Rising inventories at mills pressured sellers to cut prices to stimulate sales. Logistical challenges during the rainy season also disrupted transport, further impacting market sentiment and driving prices lower.
North America: In North America, hot rolled coil prices moved downward, driven by weaker end-user demand and rising imports from overseas suppliers. The hot rolled coil price index declined as mill production outpaced consumption, creating excess availability in the market. The automotive sector saw slower order flows, while construction activity faced seasonal constraints. Higher energy and labor costs at mills continued to pressure margins, but competitive import offers dictated price direction. Buyers adopted wait-and-see approaches, contributing to subdued market activity and declining prices this quarter.

Product Description
Hot rolled coil (HRC) is a flat steel product produced by rolling slabs of steel at high temperatures above the recrystallization point. This process gives the steel enhanced ductility and formability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. HRC typically has a rougher surface finish compared to cold rolled steel but is more cost-effective to produce. It is widely used in construction, shipbuilding, pipelines, automotive manufacturing, and heavy machinery. Key properties include high strength, weldability, and adaptability for further processing into sheets, plates, or pipes. Its versatility ensures that HRC remains a fundamental raw material for global industrial and infrastructure projects.
