Vietnam steel news
Recent developments in iron and steel in Vietnam include:
Chinese HRC ADDs extended
Vietnam has extended anti dumping duties on certain cold rolled steel products imported from China for another five years until December 27, 2030, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said.
The decision took effect on December 28, 2025, following a final sunset review launched in December 2024 under Vietnam trade remedy regulations and World Trade Organization rules.
Anti dumping duty rates on the affected cold rolled steel range from 4.43 per cent to 25.22 per cent, according to the ministry.
HPG steel maker exports plummet
Hoa Phat Group reported a sharp fall in steel exports in the first 11 months of 2025, while domestic sales continued to drive overall growth.
Construction steel exports fell 53 per cent to 533,000 tonnes and hot rolled coil exports dropped 35 per cent to 580,000 tonnes, despite strong domestic consumption growth.
Hoa Phat said exports were hit by United States tariff measures, including anti dumping and countervailing duty investigations, as well as protectionist actions in Canada and other markets.
Steel price hike
Vietnamese steelmakers including Hoa Phat, VAS Nghi Son and Viet Y Italy Steel announced sharp price increases effective December 26, citing higher input costs.
The article notes that the price rises come as Vietnam launched 234 infrastructure projects with total investment of about VND3.4 million billion (US$129.1 billion), expected to boost demand for construction steel.
