Japanese steel consumption will decrease by 15% to 58.7 million tonnes in fiscal 2009 ending March 2010 from fiscal 2008, according to estimation by Nippon Steel. The demand is around 30-year low due to slow demand for construction despite of the recovering demand for manufacturers. The demand decreases by 18% to 47 million tonnes for carbon steel while the demand increases by 4% to 11.7 million tonnes.
