Spain Steel Market Trends:

Technological Advancements in Steel Production

The Spanish steel sector is undergoing a transformation due to technological advancements in steel production. With their increased efficiency and reduced environmental impact, advanced production methods like direct reduction iron (DRI) and electric arc furnaces (EAF) are becoming increasingly popular. These technologies have the potential to increase industry competitiveness by producing high-quality steel at lower costs. The efficiency and safety of steel mill manufacturing are also being increased by automation and AI-based technologies, which is propelling the industry forward. Spain's overall share of the steel market has increased as a result of the shift to digitalization in steel manufacturing, which allows for better resource management, less waste, and increased quality control. For instance, ArcelorMittal plans a €1 Billion investment in Spain’s Gijón plant, aiming to cut CO2 emissions by 4.8 million tonnes over five years. This initiative includes a 2.3 million-tonne green hydrogen DRI unit and a 1.1 million-tonne hybrid EAF, with production beginning by 2025. The project will contribute to the Spain steel market growth by making the Sestao plant the world’s first full-scale zero-carbon emissions steel facility.

Steel Demand in the Automotive Industry

The demand for steel is mostly driven by Spain's automotive sector, especially as automakers are using lighter, higher-strength steel to satisfy safety and fuel efficiency regulations. The capacity of steel to reduce vehicle weight without sacrificing strength and durability is essential to the production of both conventional combustion engine-based cars and electric vehicles (EVs). Spanish steel producers are seeing an increase in demand for next-generation steel products that will improve safety and fuel economy, while Spanish automakers are working hard to meet strict environmental criteria. This is driving the expansion of the Spanish steel market, especially for automotive-grade steel products that are sustainable and perform well. For instance, in April 2025, Spain approved a €60 Million EU grant for the construction of a hydrogen-powered steel plant in Puerto Llanos, Castilla-La Mancha. The plant aims to produce up to 1.5 million tons of rolled steel, which is commonly used in the automotive industry, annually using green hydrogen. With future plans to expand to 2.6 million tons, the plant will create 1,000 jobs and is set to begin construction by 2025. This project is part of Spain's decarbonization efforts and is supported by the €750 Billion EU Next Generation fund.
