Iron-ore output set to grow modestly up to 2028

Global iron-ore production will grow modestly from 2.8-billion tonnes this year to 3-billion tonnes by 2028, says macroeconomic and industry research house Fitch Solutions.

This represents an average yearly growth rate of 0.5% during the period, which is a slowdown compared with the average growth rate of 2.9% during 2009 to 2018.
