Argentina Metal Processing Sector Report 2016/2017

Argentina’s metal processing sector was responsible for 0.8% of the country’s GDP and for 4.2% of the value added of the manufacturing industry in 2015, figures that have slightly decreased since 2010 due to the overall decline in the sector’s output. The iron and steel segment represented 64% of the sector’s value added in 2015, followed by the non-ferrous metals segment, with a share of 36%. The metal processing sector generated close to 3% of the employment in the manufacturing industry and 0.6% of the total payroll in the country at end-2015, and accounted for 2.3% of the national exports during the year. Although Argentina is not a key player in global steel production, ranking 26^th in terms of crude steel output in 2015, it is the third largest producer in Latin America, responsible for 8% of the regional production, after Brazil and Mexico.
