Taiwan CSC's 2025 carbon steel sales fall 3% on year

The total volume of carbon steel items sold by China Steel Corp (CSC), Taiwan's top integrated steel producer, fell by 209,441 tonnes or 2.8% during 2025 to reach 7.38 million tonnes, according to the company's latest release on its website.

Its poor performance in carbon steel sales led the steel giant headquartered in South Taiwan's Kaohsiung to record a pre-tax loss of TWD 4.68 billion ($149 million) for 2025, the release showed. This marked a sharp departure from the pre-tax profit of TWD 4.58 billion for the previous year,
