In North America, although shipments in Mexico remained stable, in the USA and Canada they were affected by the decline in drilling activity and the extraordinarily high levels of inventories mainly driven by Chinese OCTG imports. Sales in South America increased as higher average selling prices more than offset a decline in volumes sold. In Europe, sales were affected by continuing imports from China which are causing injury to the European pipe industry, a sharp decline in industrial activity, lower demand from distributors serving the process plant sector and lower sales of OCTG products.
