Excess capacity is one of the main challenges facing the global steel sector. The OECD Steelmaking Capacity database contains data on crude steelmaking capacity by economy and provides researchers and policymakers with an important tool for analysing steel capacity developments.

This table presents export/import information by detailed activity sectors (ISIC Rev.4)

This dataset presents data by export intensity: that is the share of exports on total turnover.

This dataset presents data by type of ownership, that is foreign or domestically controlled enterprise (with or without own affiliates abroad).

The central issue of trade by enterprise characteristics is to disaggregate trade flows according the characteristics of the enterprises engaged in cross-border transactions. The feasibility of doing so largely depends on the possibility of using or developing common identifiers between the trade register and the business register. Countries differ in their ability to perform such a linking, and matching ratios (between business and trade registers) vary across countries, and as a consequence the degree of representativeness of the results also varies across countries.

This dataset on international trade includes import and export statistics on trade classes in terms of size comprising indicators by number of trading enterprises and trade value, sector according to the economic sector in International Standard Industrial Classification Rev. 4 (ISIC). Partner zones both include Extra and Intra EU Trade. Data are presented by size class (0-9, 10-49, 50-249, 250+) with respect to ISIC 2 digit sectors by reporter country, partner zone, indicator and flow.

This dataset shows imports/exports by type of trader: that is exporter only, importer only or both importer and exporter (Two-way trader).
