Global iron ore output is projected to increase by 1.9% in 2025 to reach 2.61 billion tonnes (Mt), up from 2,564.4Mt in 2024. The modest growth reflects the expected softening of production in China driven by weakening domestic steel demand and a prolonged slowdown in construction and infrastructure activity. However, this shortfall will be largely offset by a rise in production from India, Australia, Brazil, and Liberia, among others.
Global iron ore production is expected to grow steadily at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.1% over the forecast period to reach 3, 206.2Mt in 2035.
