Who are the largest importers of Iranian steel?

The Iranian steel industry remains a powerhouse in the global commodities market, with new data highlighting its massive export reach across the Middle East and beyond. Topping the list of individual importers is Iraq, which accounts for nearly 1.48 billion tons of steel, followed by a strong presence from Gulf nations like Oman and the United Arab Emirates. The data shows that while a collective “rest of the world” category accounts for 1.79 billion tons, specific regional partners like Afghanistan, Indonesia, and Turkey are critical pillars for Iran’s export economy. Major global industrial players like China and emerging markets such as Ghana also feature prominently on the list.
