Open Access Announcement
As of December 2025, all paywalls have been removed from Steelonthenet.com. Steel industry news, selected capital expenditure data, M&A transaction records, and comprehensive market intelligence previously restricted to members is now freely accessible to all users. This strategic decision reflects our commitment to advancing transparency and knowledge-sharing across the global steel sector.
The move to open access encompasses details of ~192+ M&A transactions with valuations as well as our industry news coverage and steel price history pages. Whilst our consulting services, feasibility studies, and expert witness work remain fee-based professional services, much research data and market intelligence is now available without subscription barriers. This change reinforces our position as an independent industry resource serving governments, corporations, and steel professionals globally.
