Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, steel wire rod prices saw a mild upward movement as stable construction activity supported steady demand. Moderate raw material cost pressures from iron ore and scrap markets, along with consistent production rates, contributed to balanced supply conditions. Export opportunities to Southeast Asia also played a role in sustaining momentum. The steel wire rod price index reflected steady procurement by downstream industries, particularly in infrastructure projects, while limited oversupply prevented significant downward pressure.
Europe: In Europe, steel wire rod prices edged upward due to firm demand from the automotive and construction sectors. Rising energy costs contributed modestly to production expenses, influencing the slight increase. Import competition remained subdued as regional buyers preferred local suppliers, which supported domestic market strength. The steel wire rod price index reflected stable downstream consumption in mechanical engineering applications, while inventory management strategies among mills ensured controlled availability. This balance between supply and demand underpinned the marginal price rise observed this quarter.
India: In India, steel wire rod prices declined due to weaker seasonal construction demand and sluggish activity in the infrastructure sector. High domestic production levels created an oversupply situation, pressuring market fundamentals. Export demand was limited, reducing opportunities for balancing excess inventory. The steel wire rod price index highlighted restrained procurement by downstream manufacturers, while falling scrap prices further weighed on sentiment. As a result, mills faced tighter margins, reflecting the sharpest movement among the major markets this quarter.
North America: In North America, steel wire rod prices registered a slight increase supported by consistent demand from construction and manufacturing sectors. Higher domestic consumption in non-residential projects helped stabilize procurement activity. Although raw material costs remained steady, the steel wire rod price index gained momentum due to reduced imports and tighter availability from mills. Downstream industries such as automotive and fasteners sustained their offtake, reinforcing the modest price rise. This ensured market stability despite seasonal fluctuations in procurement patterns.

Increasing urbanization and industrialization across emerging economies further strengthen the long-term market outlook.
Steel wire rod is a semi-finished rolled steel product produced in coils, typically with diameters ranging from 5.5 mm to 14 mm. It is manufactured primarily from carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, depending on end-use applications. Known for its excellent ductility, weldability, and tensile strength, steel wire rod serves as the primary feedstock for wire drawing processes. It is widely used in the production of construction reinforcement bars, automotive components, fasteners, springs, welding electrodes, and wire meshes. Industrial applications also extend to electrical wiring, fencing, and cables. Its versatility, combined with cost-effectiveness and adaptability to multiple grades, makes it indispensable to numerous downstream industries globally.
