How to read this table
Comparing figures for different countries is facilitated by selecting the relevant rows: the list contains thirty-nine entries, including Russia and European countries. These data allow for tracking changes in production volumes in specific countries throughout the specified period. All values are calculated in million tonnes, providing a uniform scale for comparing metallurgical activity across different regions of the world
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: China (908), India (86.3), Japan (82.3), Russia (54.2), Republic of Korea (47.6). Gap between highest and lowest — 698.5 times. The top five account for 88.3% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 7 periods. Of 175 possible values, 175 are filled (100%) — almost no empty cells remain
