Global Steel Market to Reach US$ 1,279 Billion by 2032, Propelled by Growing Construction Activities

May 24, 2023 | Chemical & Materials

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Steel Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2024-2032”, the global steel market size reached US$ 942.3 Billion in 2023. Steel refers to an alloy primarily composed of iron and carbon, with small amounts of other elements, characterized by exceptional strength, durability, and versatility. The arrangement of iron atoms in crystalline lattice structure enables steel to have high tensile strength and resistance to deformation under applied loads, thereby making it one of the most widely used industrial materials. The metal is produced through the melting of coal, iron ore, and lime in a blast furnace to eliminate impurities and create a refined alloy. Additionally, steel possesses excellent mechanical properties, such as hardness, toughness, and ductility, along with high thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance, especially when alloyed with elements, such as chromium or nickel. As a result, it finds widespread applications, such as manufacturing of utensils, electrical and electronic components, heavy machinery, and building and construction.


Global Steel Market Trends:

The market is majorly driven by rapid industrialization across the globe, particularly in emerging economies. In line with this, the increasing number of construction activities and infrastructure development projects are providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, considerable growth in the automotive industry resulting in increased vehicle production and sales is creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Moreover, continual technological advancements in steel manufacturing processes, including the introduction of rolling and casting techniques to manufacture value-adding product variants, are providing an impetus to the market growth. In addition to this, the emerging trend of 3D manufacturing is resulting in a higher uptake of steel powder. The market is further driven by the augmenting demand for numerous aerospace and defense applications, such as the manufacturing of military aircraft components. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include an enhanced focus on eco-friendly steel production and sustainable practices and extensive research and development (R&D) activities. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 1,279 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.3% during 2024-2032.
