Data you can trust and analysis you can rely on from steel industry insiders who understand investment.

Because so many of our team come from inside the steel value chain, you can be sure that our data and analysis is collected, generated and delivered by people who understand your sector, recognise the challenges you face, and have walked in your shoes.

We take the pressure out of stress testing with benchmarked data that delivers pan-industry comparisons, and the capabilities and experience of having already helped other clients pass this important test of their resilience.

Our deep knowledge and knowhow of emissions in the steel industry means we’re the perfect guide to ESG investors. From long-term investment potential to understanding the impact of future legislation and border tariffs – we help investors prepare for a successful future in the steel sector.

Founded in 1969 and investing in primary research and deep expertise for over fifty years, our global team includes regional and product specialists across the steel supply chain. We know first-hand the difference that timely, robust intelligence can make to investment strategy. We’ve seen for ourselves the advantage of being able to make quick, informed decisions in fast-moving markets. And we know what it takes to nurture winning long-term investments.

What others have to say about us

We as Siemens have a more than 10-year business relationship with CRU, with experienced professionals on both sides and mutual trust, helpful in solving touchy business aspects. We take valuable inputs from CRU reports and conferences and find always experts open for a drill down discussion. Have to admit, that we could have used that opportunity much more frequently, but this is entirely our fault. CRU is not the cheapest service just around the corner but still a cornerstone in our market research portfolio
