Abstract
The publication presents historical trends and forecasts of quantity (volume) of steel intensity in Poland. The analysis of steel intensity was realized on the based of apparent consumption of steel. Such formula was used: apparent steel use is production steel minus export of semi-products and plus import of semi-products. Empirical data were: yearly crude steel production, yearly export of crude steel (semi-products) and yearly import of crude steel (semiproducts) from 2000 to 2017. On the based of empirical data trends of steel intensity in Poland in 2000-2017 were analyzed and forecasts of steel intensity until 2022 were estimated. Obtained forecasts of apparent crude steel use can be used in building of the scenarios for Polish steel industry.
