The China Steel Association (CISA) announced that its members' profits increased by 190% to $13.5 billion between January-September 2025. Despite falling domestic demand, a supply glut reaching its highest level in history, stringent export restrictions, and weak global demand, Chinese hashtag#steel producers are continuing to increase their profits in 2025, a year in which they are striving for record exports. According to CISA data, CISA members' profits increased by 190% in the first 9 months of 2025, reaching $13.5 billion.
