This is a list of the largest steel-producing companies in the world according to the World Steel
Association. The list is compiled from its page Top Steel Producers 2007. Note that not all steel
is the same, some steel is far more valuable than other steel.

It should be noted that the World Steel Association reports and analyzes its rankings in terms of
steel volumes. There are many arguments suggesting that a better ranking should be based on
steel revenues - probably based in US dollars[citation needed]. This can either be obtained by studying
the company financials, or by estimating the average selling price per tonne of steel shipped
(based on product mix) multiplied by the shipped tonnes in that year.
Integer Research Ltd., a London based company, claims to produce a ranking based on steel
revenues[citation needed]. It is not clear how this compares to a ranking based on steel volumes, but is
likely to represent the value added elements in the steel making process.
