Russia Consumer Industries and Metals Consumption 2025

Russia, as one of the world’s major economies, has in recent decades followed a distinctive path of growth and transformation shaped by a combination of adjustment policies, the development of basic and energy industries and efforts to diversify its economic structure. Although this trajectory has been accompanied by geopolitical challenges and trade restrictions, it has enabled the country to move from an energy-export-dependent structure toward strengthening its industrial and infrastructural capacities. This shift has resulted in increasing demand for various metals across Russia’s economic sectors.

The present report examines the performance trends of different industries and their levels of metal consumption. The first section reviews the path of structural economic transformation and the current conditions of the country. The next section evaluates the performance of metal-consuming industries and the development and transformation of Russia’s infrastructure across specific sectors. The volume of metal consumption in each segment and consuming industry is then assessed and estimated. The final section discusses the overall trends in Russia’s metal consumption market and examines the scenarios that may shape its future trajectory.
