US Raw Steel and Cement Production

Two bulk materials on the same USGS 2026 page set. Cement is converted from thousand tons to million tons. 2025 figures are USGS estimates.

US Construction Aggregates

Crushed stone plus construction sand and gravel, sold or used by producers. Copper mine tonnes are on Critical Minerals, not here.

ACC December 2025 tables. Volume, not price. Total chemicals exclude pharmaceuticals. 2025 is an estimate. 2026 is a forecast.

Twenty S&P 500 names. Linde and Air Products stay on Hydrogen. Copper and lithium stay on Critical Minerals.
