据国际钢协第26届年会预测,1995年世界钢材消费量为6.49亿吨,低于1990年的6.54亿吨;1995至2000年间世界钢需求年均增长1.1％;到2000年钢材消费量将达6.86亿吨.但与会代表认为以上预测过于乐观。另外,预计日本今后8年的钢需求锐减,钢表面消费量从1990年的9260万吨减到2000年的8500万吨 According to the 26th annual meeting of the International Iron and Steel Association forecast that in 1995 the world’s steel consumption of 649 million tons, lower than the 650 million tons in 1990; between 1995 and 2000 the average annual growth of world steel demand 1.1%; to 2000 steel consumption Will reach 686 million tons, but the participants think the above forecast is too optimistic. In addition, demand for steel in Japan is forecast to fall sharply over the next eight years, reducing steel surface consumption from 92.6 million tons in 1990 to 85 million tons in 2000
