HRB Steel Industry Analysis
The global HRB steel industry size reached USD 178.2 Billion in 2025. By 2034, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 258.7 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 4.23% during 2026-2034. Growth is driven by expanding infrastructure investment, sustained urban development, and consistent demand from the construction sector, alongside increasing reliance on durable and cost-efficient structural steel products across global markets.
Latest News and Developments:
- March 2025: Chinese researchers published a study investigating the bonding and structural properties of HRB series reinforcing steels (including HRB400 and HRB635) in the context of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) reinforcement. The research analyzed the behavior of HRB steels when used with advanced concrete composites, providing new insights into how HRB reinforcing bars perform under high load and complex acoustic emission (AE) monitoring.
Product Description
HRB steel, short for hot rolled bar steel is a type of carbon steel that undergoes a hot rolling process at temperatures exceeding 1700 degrees Fahrenheit (926 degrees Celsius). This method involves passing steel billets or ingots through rollers while they are still red-hot shaping them into round, square, flat or hexagonal bars. HRB steel is valued for its high strength, ductility and weldability which makes it suitable for various structural applications in construction and manufacturing sectors. It is commonly used for producing beams, columns, reinforcement bars and other components where durability and strength are crucial. Due to its hot rolling process HRB steel retains a scaled surface finish which can be either removed through further processing or left intact depending on the application requirements.
