一、概述由于建筑业和汽车业刚使用量下降以及日本提高消费税后日本国内钢需求下滑,因而2015年日本粗钢产量同比下滑。新兴经济体经济低迷和日本资本支出疲软也影响到了日本机器设备制造业的钢使用量。由于中国和其他国家钢铁产能过剩导致全球市场低迷,因而2015年海外市场对日本钢材的需求连续第二年下滑。在上述众多因素影响下,2015年日本粗钢产量同比下降5.0%,降至1.0513 I. Overview Crude steel output in Japan dropped in 2015 compared to the same period of 2015 due to the declining use of construction and automobiles and the decline of domestic steel demand in Japan after the increase of consumption tax by Japan. The downturn in emerging economies and the weakening of Japanese capital expenditure have also affected the use of steel in Japan’s machinery and equipment manufacturing industry. Demand for Japanese steel from overseas markets declined for the second consecutive year in 2015 due to the global market downturn due to excess steel capacity in China and other countries. Under the influence of the above factors, the output of crude steel in Japan in 2015 dropped 5.0% YoY to 1.0513
