15 (mil MT) Import outlook of S. Korea Domestic Consumption Import Demand Obsolete Scrap Home Scrap SHIMABUN s estimation - Domestic consumption will be stable. (no construction plan) - Domestic generation will steadily increase. Import demand will decrease from 10mil to 5-6mil MT. 15

16 200 (mil MT) Import outlook of China Domestic Consumption Import Demand Obsolete Scrap Home Scrap SHIMABUN s estimation - Domestic consumption will increase. (scrap ratio in BF/EAF) - Domestic generation will increase more rapidly. Import demand will stay around 7-8mil MT and then will slowly decrease. 16

17 Why? Import outlook of China (2) China is not likely to become an exporter in 10 years. - Chinese government plans to utilize more scrap in order to control iron ore consumption. - Government restricts scrap export with excessive export tariff (= de-facto ban). - For security reasons, government is likely to keep ferrous scrap inside the country, even when scrap is more than enough. 17

18 20 (mil MT) Import outlook of Taiwan Domestic Consumption 10 Import Demand 0 Obsolete Scrap Home Scrap SHIMABUN s estimation - Domestic consumption will increase. (production increase in BF) - Domestic generation will slowly increase. Import demand will increase, and then will stay flat around 5-6mil MT. 18

22 Why? Export outlook of Japan (2) With more capacity to export, Japan will need new destinations. - Even now, Japan wants broader destinations. - No importing country wants to buy scrap from only one country for security reasons. - There are emerging markets of scrap in Asia. (such as ASEAN6, India) 22

23 4. Summary 23
