How it reaches your house.
Starting from Ferrous scrap steel, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
High-Strength Steel Plate (Apparatus Grade) →Shortage riskFirefighting equipment and supplies
High-strength steel plate is a critical input for firefighting equipment and supplies, so a factory blast can quickly constrain downstream output.
86% confidencePOSCO Holdings →Shortage riskCorten / Weathering Steel (Container Panels)
An explosion that curtails POSCO's flat-steel operations would directly reduce weathering-steel supply, and this line has a large listed share with only moderate substitutability.
77% confidenceSteel and iron products →DelaysHot and cold rolling
An explosion that halts factory operations would directly delay the rolling line that turns steel into plate and sheet.
Hop 2
Hot-dip galvanized steel →Shortage riskHot-dip galvanized steel is marked as a critical input for irrigation equipment, so a steel output disruption directly constrains finished equipment production.
95% confidenceCorten / Weathering Steel (Container Panels) →Shortage riskCorten/weathering steel container panels are a critical, near-direct input to shipping containers, so a factory output disruption would quickly constrain container production.
94% confidenceHigh-Strength Structural Steel (Q460 / S355) →Shortage riskHop 3
Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) — Fire Grade →Shortage riskFirefighting equipment and supplies
MAP is marked as a critical 0.8-dependency input to firefighting equipment and supplies, so a MAP disruption should quickly constrain that downstream good.
90% confidenceMonoammonium Phosphate (MAP) — Fire Grade →Shortage riskChina carries a 70% share on this input, making it the most exposed geography if MAP supply is interrupted.
