Rebar Price per Ton
How wholesale rebar is actually priced — benchmarks, drivers and the levers that cut your landed cost — plus a live quote against today’s mill schedule.
How rebar is priced
Wholesale rebar trades against regional mill list prices and scrap indices, not a single world price. The workflow behind every quote: base price per tonne (mill, ex-works) + size extras (small diameters Ø8–10 cost more per tonne than Ø16–32) + processing (cutting, bending, mesh welding) + freight (truck, container or break-bulk) + duties at destination. European B500B has traded broadly in the €550–€800/t ex-works band in recent years, moving with scrap (HMS), energy and demand cycles — which is why serious buyers work from live quotes, not published averages.
What moves the price
Scrap: EAF mills price straight off HMS 1&2 and shredded scrap indices. Energy: electricity and gas surcharges appear within weeks of spikes. Demand cycles: construction seasons and stimulus programs tighten rolling slots. Trade measures: EU safeguard quotas, anti-dumping duties and CBAM change relative import economics quarter by quarter. Currency: EUR/USD swings reprice export offers overnight.
Cutting your landed cost — buyer levers
Order full truck (24 t) or container multiples; mix diameters within one bundle-efficient loading list; book against mill rolling programs 2–4 weeks out instead of spot; take standard 12 m lengths where the cut list allows; and consolidate accessories (mesh, wire, spacers) into the same shipment. Each lever is worth real €/t — combined they routinely beat any list discount.

FAQ
What is the rebar price per ton today?
It changes daily by region, size mix and volume. Published indices lag the market; the only actionable number is a dated written quote — we return one within 24 hours.
Why do small diameters cost more per tonne?
Ø8–10 mm bars need more rolling passes and handling per tonne of output, so mills apply size extras above the base price.
Do you publish a price list?
No — B2B rebar is quoted against live mill schedules and freight. That protects you: a static list is either stale or padded.
