5、 Market background: The golden development period of Azerbaijan's metallurgical industry

1. Rapid industrial growth and abundant market vitality

Azerbaijan's metallurgical industry is in a rapidly developing upward trend. From January to July 2026, the output value of Azerbaijan's metallurgical industry and metal products sector reached 998.9 million manats (approximately 587.6 million US dollars), with a year-on-year increase of 9.5% in metallurgical production. During the same period, the production of steel castings reached 181400 tons, an increase of 3.6%; The production of rebar reached 231200 tons, an increase of 16.3%. The production of copper wire has achieved an astonishing growth of 8.6 times.

2. Strong driving force of national strategy

In April 2026, the President of Azerbaijan signed a decree on the development of mining and metallurgical industries, officially launching the formulation of the National Plan for the Development of Mining (Metal Ore) and Metallurgical Industries from 2027 to 2030. The national plan will provide clear top-level design and policy support for the development of the metallurgical industry in the next four years, marking a new strategic development stage for Azerbaijan's metallurgical industry.

3. The steel market has broad prospects

The steel market in Azerbaijan is expected to grow from $1.354 billion in 2025 to $2.438 billion in 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.8%. The long timber market is expected to maintain an average annual growth rate of over 4% before 2035. At present, the total metal consumption in Azerbaijan is about 1.7 million to 1.8 million tons, and the per capita consumption has exceeded 150 kilograms.

4. Large scale projects lead industrial upgrading

Currently, multiple major metallurgical projects are underway:

Hot pressed iron block (HBI) project: located in the western industrial park of Shamkir region, with a total of approximately 800 million US dollars, planned to produce 2 million tons of hot pressed iron annually, and planned to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2029. The project utilizes internationally leading low-carbon metallurgical technology and is expected to contribute approximately $1 billion annually to Azerbaijan's GDP, creating around 1600 job opportunities.

Dashkasan iron ore development project: promoted by state-owned AzerGold company, has completed a bank level feasibility study and plans to build a direct reduction iron (DRI) plant based on Danieli technology, with an expected production capacity of about 500000 tons.

Baku Steel Company (BSC) expansion plan: As the largest steel production enterprise in Azerbaijan, BSC produces approximately 1 million tons of steel annually, and its products have been exported to the US and European markets.

5. Infrastructure construction drives demand

Azerbaijan's steel consumption has traditionally been concentrated in the construction and oil and gas industries, but the demand structure is gradually expanding. The continuous development and reconstruction, subway expansion, road construction, airport modernization, and energy infrastructure projects in Karabakh and Zangezur regions have created huge market demand for metallurgical and steel products.

6. Superior location advantage

Azerbaijan is located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, with abundant energy resources and a growing industrial base, possessing enormous potential to become a regional center for high-quality steel and metal production. With the continuous deepening of economic and trade cooperation in the Caspian Sea region, Azerbaijan is becoming an important hub connecting Eastern and Western markets.

2. State owned copper and gold mining enterprises such as AzerGold and Anglo Asian Mining, as well as non-ferrous smelters and beneficiation plants; The Dashkasan iron ore project party.

3. EPC engineering general contractor, metallurgical mining EPC general contractor of design institute, engineering design institute, project construction party, responsible for equipment selection and procurement for new smelting and steel projects.

4. Import agents, traders, and maintenance service providers for metallurgical equipment, casting consumables, and steel machinery in Azerbaijan and neighboring countries.

5. The government and institutions of Azerbaijan include the Ministry of Economy, Mineral Resources Management Bureau, industrial institutions, and metallurgical and steel investment promotion departments.

6. Supporting service providers include refractory materials, environmental dust removal, waste residue treatment, logistics supply chain, and certification consulting enterprises.

8、 Simultaneous supporting activities

1. The Summit Forum on the Development of Metallurgical and Steel Industry around the Caspian Sea focuses on the 2030 Development Plan for Metallurgical and Steel Industry in Azerbaijan, HBI Hot pressed Iron Block Project, and Nonferrous Smelting Policy. Government officials, mining companies, and metallurgical enterprise executives share topics and interpret information on ongoing and planned projects.

2. The special seminar on metallurgical casting technology focuses on the sharing of non-ferrous smelting, short process steel, advanced casting processes, refractory material applications, and environmental protection of metallurgical flue gas and waste residue. Participating companies can apply for technical speeches to promote products and complete solutions.

3. The organizing committee of the one-on-one supply and demand docking negotiation meeting collects supply and demand information in advance, matches metallurgical plants, EPC general contractors, and agents for exhibitors, arranges face-to-face business negotiations, and efficiently explores cooperation opportunities.

4. Key metallurgical mining projects roadshows will be held in Karabakh, Dongzangezhur, and Zhanjia metallurgical parks, where ongoing and planned projects will be released, and project construction progress and equipment procurement plans will be publicly introduced.

5. Industry Business Exchange Party Extension Business Exchange Party, where exhibitors, buyers, and industry experts can socialize and expand their industry network resources.

6. Exhibitors will continue to expose their physical and digital exhibitor directories through online and conference publications. Before and after the exhibition, they will be directed to promote the metallurgical industry community around the Caspian Sea, extending the exposure period for enterprises.

11、 Exhibition value

1. Market expansion value

Seizing the import substitution window: Without local manufacturing and highly dependent on imports, Chinese equipment quickly seizes the share of traditional suppliers with its cost-effectiveness and complete solution advantages.

Covering multiple markets around the Caspian Sea: one exhibition reaching buyers from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Central Asia, and northern Iran, low-cost regional channel layout.

Dividend of docking new projects: Copper/iron ore/smelter/HBI projects are launched in a centralized manner, facing equipment bidding and technological transformation needs, and locking in annual orders.

2. Customer docking value

Facing the decision-making level: The audience mainly consists of mining enterprise leaders, factory directors, procurement directors, and EPC general contractors, shortening the negotiation process.

Lock in local agents: On site screening of agents with channels and after-sales capabilities to solve overseas landing difficulties.

Obtaining government and enterprise resources: liaising with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Mineral Resources Bureau, and companies to grasp policies and bidding rules.

3. Brand and technological value

Rapid growth of regional brands: Concentrated appearances at authoritative exhibitions around the Caspian Sea to enhance brand trust.

Showcasing complete solutions: one-stop presentation from smelting to environmental protection and automation, strengthening the endorsement of general contracting capabilities.

Benchmarking international trend: communicate with counterparts in Europe, America and Türkiye to precisely optimize product strategies.
