Global Iron Ore Mining to 2022

Summary

Globally, 2.2 billion tonnes (bnt) of iron ore was produced in 2017 - an increase of 3.2% compared to the previous year. Australia, Brazil, India, China, and Russia were the world’s five largest producers of iron ore, collectively accounting for 87.5% of global iron ore production. Global production is expected to post a moderate forecast-period (2018-2022) compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This will be supported by output growth from Asian countries.

Australia had the world’s largest crude ore reserves and iron content, with the country accounting for 29.4% of the global total. Russia stood second, followed by Brazil, China, India and others (25.2%).

Global iron ore consumption was up by 3.8% compared with 2016 in 2017- supported by increases in crude steel production. China, Japan, India, Russia and South Korea were the top five iron ore consuming countries. In 2017, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Canada and Ukraine were the top five exporters of iron ore, while China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and the France were its top five importers.
