Pig iron production, which is relevant to coking coal,<br />

PCI coal and coke consumption, increased by 133<br />

million tonnes from 898 million tonnes in 2009 to<br />

1,031 million tonnes in <strong>2010</strong>.<br />

Due to China’s rising share of global steel production,<br />

from 38% in 2008 to 44% in <strong>2010</strong>, its share of world<br />

pig iron production also increased.<br />

The strong growth of global crude steel production<br />

absorbed large quantities of coking coal from the<br />

international market. Weather-related restrictions<br />

towards the end of <strong>2010</strong>, particularly in Australia,<br />

created a beginning supply shortage.<br />
