Zusammenfassung

Após quinze anos de expansão impulsionada por uma demanda vigorosa, a indústria siderúrgica enfrenta um problema de excesso de capacidade que afeta todos os grandes países produtores do mundo. Isto se explica a partir da forte competência que tem caracterizado o desenvolvimento recente do setor e que tem obrigado as empresas concorrentes a formar grandes reservas de capacidade para captar mercadodiante de seus rivais e a explorar os rendimentos crescentes a escala para baixar seus custos de produção. Deste modo, a crescente exigência em termos de escala mínima tem obrigado as empresas a realizar grandes expansões de sua capacidadepara cumprir os requisitos que marca a competência em escala mundial. A contradição entre um padrão de expansão como este, determinado por critérios de eficiência, no que se refere à pauta da demanda de aço, tipicamente cíclica, explica a formação de um grande excesso de capacidade no mundo todo.
