Additionally, growth in manufacturing and industrial sectors contributes significantly to the market expansion.
The African market for steel is set to expand with a rise in construction projects across the continent. Increased investments, both public and private, supported by regional governments, will drive growth in the construction sector and boost demand for steel. Local steel is increasingly favored for construction projects, contributing to market growth. Governments are promoting the use of locally produced steel to stimulate economic development and employment.
The Africa steel market is further aided by the automotive industry's expansion across the continent. Robust growth in Africa's automotive sector is evident, with major international car manufacturers setting up assembly plants in countries like South Africa, Nigeria, and Morocco. Supported by favorable government policies and tax incentives, these initiatives have significantly increased the demand for steel, which plays a vital role in car manufacturing.
