Production: 105.2 million tonnes
We are continuing our list of countries that produce the most steel in the world with Japan, which exported 40.8 million tonnes of the steel it produced in 2015 and utilized the rest for use inside the country. This fact is not at all surprising considering that Japan is a country which is on top of the game when it comes to technology, an industry that requires steel in its products. Furthermore, modern manufacturing processes of steel require top notch and advanced machines, something which Japan certainly does not lack.
