Steel is a crucial source of foreign currency revenue for producing nations and plays a vital role in their economies; exporting it to global markets drives revenue growth and economic expansion.
Consequently, the international trade of steel products is influenced by factors such as international sanctions and domestic export restrictions.
As these constraints intensify, export volumes—and by extension, the steel-dependent economy—decline.
Other factors impacting the steel trade include the state of the global economy, worldwide demand for steel, and price fluctuations in global markets.

In Iran, supporting new investments in the development of the steel industry is a priority for planners, as the market for steel consumption is vast, large, and diverse—factors that have led to an annual increase in the country’s steel production capacity.
Furthermore, the steel value chain accounts for approximately 12% of the country’s exports.
