Steel Market | Overview by Brands, Regions, Applications, Types, Forecast to 2023

 Market Overview:

The global steel market is estimated to attain USD 962431.8 Mn and expand at an incremental compound annual growth rate over the forecast period which ends in 2023, reveals Market Research Future (MRFR) in a recently published research report. Steel is a key intermediate good used across diverse industries which leads to massive demand for steel.

 

With improvements in global industrial production, the global steel market is expected to pick up in the coming years. The demand for steel has grown manifolds in recent years since it is of strategic importance to various industries such as automotive, manufacturing, consumer durables and others. Rise in developmental and infrastructural activities across the globe is one of the critical determinants of the growth of the global steel market. More than half of the steel produced on a global scale goes into building and infrastructure. With the rapid rise in urbanization and population boom, infrastructural activities will continue to expand which will augment the growth of the global steel market since they are essential to the building of roads, bridges, stations, airports, and others.

 

Higher economic growth trend observed in various economies, especially the developing nations is expected to generate considerable demand for steel in varying proportions and augment the growth of the market. Stringent regulatory norms which promote energy-efficient and green buildings also contribute to the growth of the global steel market.

 

The automotive industry is a major end user of the global steel market and consumes massive amounts of steel for every new vehicle design. The ongoing drive for lighter weight vehicles coupled with increased focus on emission reduction further strengthens the demand for the global steel market. Heightened demand for stainless steel across the electronic appliances markets also contributes to the growth of the market.

 

However, a slowdown in chins, surging steel imports in the US and degrading oil prices are major hurdles for the growth of the global steel industry. The economic downturn in China coupled with overcapacity issues is expected to be a hindrance to the global steel market. Falling oil prices are likely to have a high impact on the growth of the global steel markets owing to the industry's exposure to the energy sector. Energy exploration companies are expected to reduce their capital expenditure budget to curtail costs which will slow down the growth of the global steel market.
