Its a des&ripti!e resear&h &ondu&ted as a re+uirement of our Ban(ladesh in International Business &ourse. he entire report is di!ided into si &hapters. In &hapter one, the introdu&tion, o$%e&ti!e, methodolo(y, and limitations of the report ha!e $een des&ri$ed. he o$%e&ti!e of the study is to (et eperien&e in industry analysis pra&ti&es in Ban(ladesh and >lo$al perspe&ti!e espe&ially in de!elopin( and least de!eloped &ountries. he o$%e&ti!e of the report is to (et eperien&e in steel industry and &omplete the &ourse re+uirements. he sour&es of the data are mainly internet and different or(aniations e$site. In hapter to of the report literature re!ie on the industry analysis has shon. Pre!ious industry analysis or"s, arti&le and nespaper re!ies and summary ha!e shon in the report. Industry analysis is a $roader &on&ept $ut in some report it had shon too narroly as ell as the de!elopin( &ountry steel industry has not $een studied too mu&h $efore. Information on the industry analysis and pre!ious or" has also shon in this part. hapter three dras some steel industry information from $oth Ban(ladesh and >lo$al perspe&ti!e. #teel industry is an esta$lished and (roin( industry in Ban(ladesh.

and some on(oin( lar(e pro%e&ts. he steel eporters of Ban(ladesh ha!e ensured stron( foothold espe&ially in the Afri&an mar"ets. As a result, Ban(ladesh is no &onsidered as a ma%or emer(in( player in the (lo$al sta(e #.1.) (ro,th of the Industry Ban(ladesh #teel industry is emer(in( as one of the ma%or industrial se&tors of the &ountry. It
&onsists of small up to the lar(est s&ale of steel meltin( and rerollin( fa&tories a&ross the &ountry that mostly produ&e deformed $ar rod of different (rade =-0, 80, :00?, an(el, &hannel and &oil for the &onstru&tion industry. hou(h the history of #teel Industry is not older one $ut it &an ma"e a (lorious future. Before 1<71 Ban(ladesh did not ha!e any steel mill and e!en after the li$eration there ere only a fe steel fa&tories in the &ountry. In 1<<0s the a&tual de!elopment $e(an in this se&tor throu(h a re!olution.

/ith an estimated mar"et sie of 400 Billion BD, the steel industry in Ban(ladesh is &urrently eperien&in( an upsur(e in demand. his (roth is dri!en mostly $y (o!ernment spendin( on infrastru&ture pro%e&ts, hi&h a&&ounts for -0F of steel &onsumption in Ban(ladesh. As ith the 12
(lo$al mar"et, there is also a supply surplus in the lo&al steel industry' the &urrent demand is around - million tonnes, hile the total &apa&ity is around ; million tonnes. he steel industry in Ban(ladesh produ&es mainly to &lasses of produ&ts' flat steel =mainly I sheet and R &oil? and lon( steel =M# rodM $ar?. Althou(h there are &urrently o!er -00 a&ti!e firms in the industry, the top 20 &ompanies ser!i&e more than half of the demand. he steel industry in Ban(ladesh is still lar(ely dependent on domesti& (roth dri!ers su&h as (o!ernment infrastru&ture pro%e&ts and the real estate industry. At the moment, per &apita steel re$ar &onsumption in Ban(ladesh is only 2: "(, &ompared to :7 "( in India and the orld a!era(e of 217 "( in 2012. his is epe&ted to (ro to :0 "( $y 2022.
