The South East Asia Iron and Steel Institute (SEAISI) has stated that scrap demand in ASEAN-6 countries in 2022 declined by 4.6 percent year on year to 39 million mt, while scrap supply in the region during the year was estimated at 32.9 million mt.

Looking at the different countries, in 2022, scrap demand in Indonesia increased by two percent year on year to 16.7 million mt, while its scrap production surged by four percent to 15.5 million mt. The country’s scrap imports totaled 1.2 million mt in 2022, decreasing by 300,000 mt compared to 2021, while its scrap exports came to 42,000 mt, down by 25 percent year on year.

In the given year, Malaysia’s scrap demand remained at 4.8 million mt, the same as in 2021, while its scrap production rose by 24 percent year on year to 4.4 million mt. The country’s scrap imports dropped by one million mt to 503,000 mt.

The country used to be one of major scrap supply sources in the region with an average export volume at 500,000 mt every year. However, its scrap exports fell significantly in the last two years (2021 and 2022) due to higher domestic steel production.
