Iran Steel Market Trends:

Infrastructure and Construction Expansion

Iran’s strategic investment in infrastructure remains a major catalyst for steel demand. Government-led projects in roads, bridges, railways, and housing significantly increase the consumption of structural steel. . For instance, Iran's steel industry, led by Mobarakeh, Esfahan, and Khouzestan Steel, accounts for 70% of national output. In 2024, Iran produced 3.3 million tons of crude steel, briefly ranking Iran 7th globally. The sector is vital for construction, autos, and energy, with output projected to reach 55 million tons by 2025. Iran seeks $20B investment, benefiting from abundant resources but limited by sanctions in high-alloy steel technology. Urban development programs, particularly mass housing and earthquake reconstruction, require large volumes of rebar, beams, and sheets. The construction of industrial parks, refineries, and energy facilities also fuels demand for high-grade steel products. With abundant natural resources such as iron ore and natural gas, Iran benefits from cost-effective raw material sourcing. A growing population and rapid urbanization further accelerate construction activities nationwide. These infrastructure-driven requirements consistently support domestic steel consumption, reduce reliance on imports, and stimulate industrial growth. This strong internal demand base continues to drive Iran steel market growth and strengthens its contribution to overall Iran steel market share.

Export Orientation and Regional Demand

Iran's surplus steel production has positioned the country as a key exporter within the Middle East and Central Asia. With domestic consumption lower than total output, producers target external markets to sustain operational efficiency. Neighboring nations like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria rely heavily on Iranian steel for construction and industrial use. Iran’s geographical location, competitive pricing, and access to raw materials make it a preferred supplier in the region. Despite international sanctions, alternative trade arrangements such as border trade and barter systems allow continued exports. Investments in transportation infrastructure, including rail and port upgrades, enhance export logistics. Policy measures like export incentives and tax relief support this outward-focused strategy. As demand from post-conflict and developing countries grows, Iran’s export capacity ensures revenue continuity and supports Iran steel market growth while expanding Iran steel market share regionally. For instance, at the 7th Iran Expo in May 2025, Mobarakeh Steel Group, the Middle East’s largest and global leader in Direct Reduced Iron, urged India, the world’s second-largest steel producer, for market access to export semi-finished steel slabs amid rapid infrastructure growth. With over 50% of Iran’s steel output, the company faces challenges due to US/EU sanctions disrupting SWIFT payments and maritime shipping. It emphasized that easing these barriers, even for a modest import share, would foster bilateral cooperation.
