<p>We have commissioned independent research into future market opportunities for
UK steel, which has involved substantial dialogue with existing and potential steel
consumers across the whole of the UK. We are actively encouraging the UK steel sector
to identify the capabilities it will need to act on the findings, and use this information
to ensure they are well placed to plan and bid for future work.</p><p> </p><p>This
is further complemented by the Government publishing details of upcoming steel requirements
for national infrastructure projects which shows how the government plans to use three
million tonnes of steel until 2020 on infrastructure projects such as High Speed 2
(HS2), the construction of Hinkley Point, and the maintenance and upgrading of the
UK’s motorway network. This steel-specific pipeline further builds upon the National
Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline, which set out over £500 billion worth of
planned private and public investment; both which enable UK companies to anticipate
material demand.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
