亚洲地区近年来经济发展速度加快,对钢铁需求猛增,钢铁工业发展迅速,与欧美地区钢铁生产企业处境困难,竞相谋求在其它生产领域有所发展形成了鲜明的对比。 1985年,中国大陆、韩国、台湾以及除文莱之外的东盟国家粗钢产量总和为6810万吨,但到 1992年就增加到1.2576亿吨,增长近一倍,在全球粗钢总产量中所占比例也由9.5％上升到17. In recent years, Asia has witnessed accelerated economic growth, sharp increase in demand for steel, rapid development of the steel industry, and the difficult situation for steel manufacturers in Europe and the United States to compete in seeking to find some developments in other fields of production. In 1985, the crude steel output of China, South Korea, Taiwan and ASEAN countries other than Brunei totaled 68.1 million tons, but increased to 1257.6 million tons by 1992, an increase of nearly double that of the world crude steel output The proportion rose from 9.5% to 17%.
