• USA: USD 850/MT
• China: USD 468/MT
• Germany: USD 873/MT
• Saudi Arabia: USD 658/MT
• Brazil: USD 815/MT

During the second quarter of 2025, the rebar prices in the USA reached 850 USD/MT in June. As per the rebar price chart, prices strengthened steadily, driven largely by mill-led price hikes and firm market sentiment. Mills pushed through successive increases, and buyers quickly absorbed them, reflecting strong underlying demand and limited flexibility in supply chains. With distributors noting steady acceptance of higher spot pricing, the market momentum tilted firmly in favor of producers. Tight supply was a defining feature of the quarter. The constrained availability gave mills confidence to enforce price adjustments without significant resistance from buyers, who prioritized securing volumes to meet project timelines.

During the second quarter of 2025, the rebar prices in China reached 468 USD/MT in June. Rebar prices in China came under renewed downward pressure in April, largely due to external shocks stemming from the escalation of the US-China trade conflict. The sudden announcement of aggressive tariffs by the US significantly exceeded market expectations, spreading pessimism across the steel sector.

Europe Rebar Price Trend

Q3 2025:

Rebar price index in Europe moved lower during Q3, influenced primarily by subdued construction schedules and restrained procurement from both public and private project developers. Distributors reduced restocking frequency in response to muted demand, which weakened seller leverage across major hubs. Mills operated with conservative output strategies, and localized competition from imports further pressured offer levels. Downstream participants adopted cautious tendering, contributing to slower transactional flows and encouraging buyers to negotiate more assertively. With project approvals progressing at a slower pace and sentiment softening, the regional market reflected a pricing environment shaped by downward adjustments and limited momentum for recovery.

Q2 2025:

In April 2025, rebar prices in Germany and Austria entered the quarter under persistent pressure. Mills attempted to set higher asking levels, but buying interest remained cautious. Buyers across central Germany reported that while producers had sought stronger margins, actual transactions occurred at more restrained levels. Limited willingness to commit to large volumes kept negotiations tight, and many purchasers avoided paying premiums, reflecting subdued sentiment in the construction sector. Regional markets such as Bavaria and Austria showed evidence of even weaker settlements. Competitive pressure among rebar benders grew sharper, as downstream players needed significantly lower purchase levels to maintain viability in ongoing construction projects. This intensified the pressure on mills, preventing any sustained recovery in price momentum.

Q1 2025:

As per the rebar price index, prices fluctuated as supply chains in Europe were disrupted by longer shipping routes, equipment shortages, and port congestion, limiting availability. Besides, the implementation of environmental regulations like the EU Emissions Trading System added to production costs. Moreover, a surge in demand, particularly in the construction sector, led to higher rebar prices in some regions, like Spain.

North America Rebar Price Trend

Q3 2025:

In North America, prices advanced as the regional market contended with sustained construction demand and constrained output from key producers. The rebar price index indicated steady gains, supported by tighter scrap availability and higher energy and logistics costs. Infrastructure projects and residential construction drove continuous offtake, while import volumes were limited by port congestion and selective allocation by foreign mills. Traders maintained disciplined offers, and buyers prioritized securing contractual and prompt supplies, which minimized spot-market liquidity.

Q2 2025:

As per the rebar price index, prices in North America continued to climb, supported by a combination of strong mill-driven increases and resilient demand conditions. Mills implemented multiple rounds of price hikes, which were quickly absorbed into the market as buyers adapted with little resistance. This responsiveness reflected a sentiment that higher pricing was both anticipated and acceptable, given the prevailing supply-demand balance. A key driver underpinning the upward trajectory was the sustained rise in scrap prices, which raised input costs for producers and provided mills with a firm justification for higher finished steel pricing. The linkage between raw material markets and finished rebar prices created a steady momentum that carried through the quarter. Market participants widely acknowledged that mills had strong leverage to enforce increases due to elevated costs and limited availability. Supply tightness was another critical factor. Mills were reporting extended order books, with backlogs stretching into late summer. This limited production flexibility meant that distributors and contractors faced longer lead times, reinforcing a sense of urgency in the market. Buyers were compelled to secure tonnage quickly to cover upcoming projects, further strengthening mills’ pricing power.

Q1 2025:

Global disruptions like import restrictions and port congestions hampered the flow of rebar into North America, creating scarcity and driving prices. Besides, rising construction activity driven by infrastructure projects and new residential developments fueled demand for rebar, further contributing to the price changes. Moreover, government investments in infrastructure projects provided a significant boost to demand for steel, including rebar, leading to price increases.

Q2 2025:

As per the rebar price chart, rebar prices in the Middle East and Africa were under pressure from subdued demand, even as supply from regional producers remained consistent. Seasonal factors, particularly the observance of Ramadan, weighed heavily on construction activity and procurement cycles. Buyers across the Gulf markets and North Africa adopted a cautious stance, limiting spot purchases and focusing only on immediate requirements. Although infrastructure projects remained active in parts of the region, their impact on overall demand was insufficient to drive prices upward. The prevailing atmosphere of soft demand and stable supply kept trading activity muted, forcing producers to moderate their pricing strategies. In Turkey, macroeconomic challenges compounded the weakness, with high financing costs and restrained liquidity curbing buying activity. The Eid al-Adha holiday further reduced domestic transactions, leaving wholesalers hesitant to replenish inventories.

Q1 2025:

As per the rebar price chart, a general decline in domestic demand, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, forced manufacturers to adjust their pricing policies. Besides, the onset of Ramadan, while not severely impacting construction demand, contributed to price fluctuations, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, changes in scrap and freight costs, as well as energy costs, also played a role in shaping rebar prices. 

Region-wise data and information on specific countries within these regions can also be provided.

Asia Pacific Rebar Price Trend

Q3 2025:

Q3 rebar prices in the Asia Pacific region showed mixed movement, with several markets experiencing reduced procurement from builders and fabricators. Stable mill operating levels kept supply adequate across key consuming countries, preventing any upward pricing push. Policy efforts aimed at supporting construction improved sentiment but did not translate into significant near-term buying. Export-oriented producers adjusted shipments based on margin opportunities, adding additional availability in markets where local demand eased. Import competition, extended delivery windows, and cautious purchasing strategies collectively resulted in gradual price moderation across much of the region.

Q2 2025:

In April, rebar prices in Asia Pacific were heavily influenced by external trade shocks and shifting market sentiment. The announcement of steep tariffs on Chinese steel exports to the United States sparked widespread pessimism across regional markets. This escalation in trade tensions disrupted export expectations and amplified concerns over the weakened competitiveness of Chinese steel in overseas markets. As confidence deteriorated, buyers became more cautious in procurement, and selling pressure increased among traders. By May, the market atmosphere shifted slightly as trade negotiations between the United States and China began showing signs of moderation. In June, the rebar market entered its traditional off-season, with both supply and demand facing simultaneous challenges. Steel mills adjusted their production strategies, with some shifting output away from rebar toward higher-margin special steels, while others scaled back production due to financial strain. On the demand side, construction activity remained subdued, and new project starts were limited, reflecting ongoing funding constraints and cautious investment sentiment.

Q1 2025:

In the Asia Pacific region during Q1 2025, rebar prices were fluctuating due to a combination of factors, including trade uncertainties, falling demand, and changes in the scrap market. Some regions saw steady increases in prices, while others experienced declines due to factors like seasonal construction breaks and inventory dynamics. Moreover, prices of key raw materials like iron ore and coal, as well as the scrap market situation, significantly impacted rebar production costs and thus, prices. 

This rebar price analysis can be expanded to include a comprehensive list of countries within the region.
