While the relatively strong demand for iron-ore during 2013 resulted in the price of the steelmaking ingredient increasing from $110.40/t in May to more than $130/t in December, some commentators forecast that the market will suffer during 2014.  Many analysts believe that 2014 could be the year during which rising seaborne iron-ore supply finally overwhelms Chinese demand, causing prices to drop during the year and in 2015.

Creamer Media’s Iron-Ore 2014 report provides an overview of the global iron-ore market, with particular reference to pricing, supply and demand, as well as the trade in iron-ore. It provides information on not only the major mergers and acquisitions, and the trade of iron-ore in the sector, but also the major global iron-ore producing companies and other significant producers. This report further provides an overview of South Africa’s iron-ore market and its major producers.
