Abstract

O presente trabalho analisa a evolução e estrutura da siderurgia brasileira e do uso do carvão vegetal no período de 1980 a 2006. Os objetivos específicos são: 1) analisar a evolução da produção, consumo, exportação e importação dos principais produtos elaborados por esta indústria, separando os que usam carvão vegetal e os que usam carvão mineral; e 2) caracterizar a estrutura da indústria (número de produtores, número de consumidores, tipos de produtos selecionados, entre outras variáveis). Em relação ao primeiro objetivo deste trabalho, evolução da indústria siderúrgica, contatou-se que o Brasil vem aumentando sua capacidade produtiva e sua inserção no mercado internacional. Quanto ao segundo objetivo específico deste trabalho, estrutura da indústria, observou-se a presença de 28 usinas, integradas ou semi-integradas, distribuídas em 10 estados brasileiros e controladas por 10 grupos empresariais. Ainda vale salientar a concentração da produção nacional de aço bruto no Sudeste e a crescente concentração da produção em poucos grupos, seguindo uma tendência mundial de fusões e aquisições no setor. No entanto, não se observa grande diferença de poder de mercado entre os grupos siderúrgicos.------------------------------The present paper analyses the evolution and structure of Brazilian Steel Industry and the use of charcoal in time period from 1980 to 2006.

In relation to the first specific objective of this paper, steel industry evolution, Brazil is increasing its productive capacity and its insertion in the international market. Concerning to the second specific objective of this work, industry structure, Brazil has 28 steel mills, integrated or semi-integrated, distributed in 10 Brazilian states and controlled by 10 business groups.
