The presence of major crude steel manufacturing countries including Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt in the region is expected to have a positive impact on the industry growth over the forecast period. African steel production in the initial 10 months of 2015 was nearly unchanged from the same time period in the previous year, as strong production growth in South Africa was offset by falling production in Egypt and Libya.

However, the South African production numbers are still estimates as of now, and the local industry is facing very uncertain conditions and plant closures. In addition, technical issues such as energy shortages and political disturbances are expected to hamper steel production in Northern South African countries, which in turn is expected to hamper the product demand over the forecast period.
