In the final week of December, prices of steel rebar remained stable because of reduced trade activity, order reductions due to holidays, disruptions in international trade routes, and decreased consumption in the construction industry amid cold weather conditions and manufacturing slowdowns. The Steel Rebar (8 mm) price in USA at the end of Q4 2023 was 1514 USD/MT.
The price of steel rebar in Taiwan for Q4 2023 reached 705 USD/MT. In December, the Taiwanese market experienced a significant decrease in the demand for Steel Rebar because of winter and holiday seasons. In addition to this, disruptions in trade routes that are caused by drought in the Panama Canal and attacks in the Red Sea further affected the steel rebar market.
In Q4 2023, the current price of Steel Rebar FD-Rome in Italy was 768 USD/MT. The Italian company Acciaierie d’Italia has started a maintenance shutdown to minimize production disruptions, and a rescheduled meeting with joint venture partners suggests a more positive outlook for the next quarter.

Steel rebar Market Analysis
The global steel rebar market size reached US$ 245.5 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 403.3 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.50% during 2023-2032.
- The global steel rebar market is growing significantly. One of the primary drivers of the global steel rebar market is the rise in construction activities worldwide, especially in emerging economies. According to Deloitte’s Global Powers of Construction (GPoC), a total revenue of US$ 1,940 trillion was generated in 2022 from the construction industry, which was 6.3% higher than in 2021. This data represents the gradual growth of the construction industry across the world which in turn is also creating a positive outlook for the steel rebar market.
- Governments across the world are investing in large-scale infrastructure projects such as bridges, highways, airports, and water treatment facilities which require substantial amounts of steel rebar for structural and support longevity. For instance, Government of India (GoI) launched the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), in 2020 which envisages an investment of INR 111 Lakh Cr from 2020 to 2025 i.e., an annual average investment of almost INR 22 Lakh Cr. The government is allocating 3.3% of its GDP to the infrastructure sector in the fiscal year 2024, focusing on transport and logistics segments, with roads and highways accounting for the highest shares. The government aims to develop a 2 lakh-km national highway network by 2025, expand airports to 220, operationalize 23 waterways by 2030, and develop 35 Multi-Modal Logistics Parks (MMLPs).
- Furthermore, the gradual shift toward renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power plants, necessitates the extensive use of steel rebar in the construction of supporting structures, propelling the global steel rebar market. For example, according to Power Ministry estimates, India's investments in renewable energy (RE) projects will rise by more than 83% to $16.5 billion by 2024, as the country focuses on energy transition to cut carbon emissions. The country's ambitious goal of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, as well as its pledge to reduce total fossil fuel power generation capacity to less than 50%. India has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070.
