According to the State Statistics Committee, over six months were produced 100.7 thousand tons of reinforcement. According to unofficial data, the only manufacturer of these products in the country is LLC "Baku Steel Company", which tells about production capacity to 1 million tons per year. During commissioning in 2001 a Furnace and production lines allowed to produce 350 thousand tons of finished products per year. The company does not have problems with sales and therefore, it is difficult to explain the declining trend in the volume of production, against monopolization of the market of construction fittings.
Over half of the volume of production in metallurgical industry in Azerbaijan amounted to 143.2 million manat, which is by 14.8% less than in the same period of 2013.
