Total crude steel production among the member mills of the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA) declined during 2025 to reach 805 million tonnes, falling by 2.7% on year, according to the data released by the association on January 20.

For December alone, the member mills produced 58.3 million tonnes of crude steel, recording a 10.5% on-year fall. The significant decline widened the cumulative drop in crude steel output from 1.9% in the first eleven months to 2.7% for the whole year.

Cumulative production from CISA member mills accounted for 83.8% of China's total crude steel output of 961 million tonnes in 2025, Mysteel Global calculated based on the data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The 2025 cumulative output for both member mills and non-member mills posted a 4.4% on-year slide, also based on the NBS data.

Meanwhile, finished steel production among CISA members reached 826 million tonnes for the full year, rising by 0.9% on year. Nationally, finished steel output totalled 1.45 billion tonnes last year, reflecting a larger 3.1% on-year increase, the NBS figures showed.

For December alone, finished steel output from CISA member mills fell 5.6% on year to 62.1 million tonnes. As of July 2025, CISA had 382 members.
