Introduction

CIS steel exporters having 40% share in the world trade volume are on a front line of industry's recovery after global financial crisis. Despite steady positive changes in regional consumption in 2010, staking on increase of export volumes turned out to be hardly possible. Nevertheless, CIS exporters managed to make price dynamics more favorable with the 20-40% growth at the end of 2010 (in comparison with 2009). The price trend is expected to be positive at least on the first quarter of 2011, however, the market conditions are to be quite difficult: consumption remains on a low level, regional competition becomes tougher, and the role of production cost is still an essential factor. In such a scenario, how would CIS suppliers maintain leading positions in the world arena?
