MS (Mild Steel) Angle Price Trend and Forecast: Top 10 Leading Trading Countries and Regions - Latest Edition [2026]

The Expert Market Research pricing report on MS Angle provides insights into the top 10 leading trading countries and regions.

Mild Steel Angle (MS Angle) price trends vary widely throughout 2024. Many factors, such as geopolitical tensions, global supply and demand, market trends, and economic factors, are responsible for these fluctuations. Different cost structures and trade environments were observed in major markets, globally, such as North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. In Q1 2025, MS Angle prices declined on account of low global demand and oversupply. The manufacturing and construction sectors were weak, resulting in lower consumption. Even with stable raw material prices, buyers and sellers expected prices to stay low or drop further due to weak demand and excess supply.

In India, the prices of MS angles have shown many fluctuations in 2024, with a minimal change observed in the final quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The size and weight of MS angles, as well as the steel used in their production, all have an impact on their prices. Asia continued to be a major player, and in 2022, world steel production stood at 2,452.7 million metric tons, with China leading globally.

MS Angle Price Forecast

The price angle trend in MS from 2024 shows many upward and downward trends, especially a spike in the May 2024 period due to the increased need for steel and government sanctions. Considering that MS angles are of great importance in structural building, the ongoing urbanization and other infrastructural development will increase the steel demand, further stimulating its production. Moreover, the construction sector relies on their recyclability and sustainability, which makes them key components in the construction of structures. Therefore, there is no doubt that the need for MS angle will grow in future to keep up with the infrastructure requirements.

Global Trade and Supply Chain Implications

Ukraine and Russia are major sources of supplying the essential raw materials such as iron ore and coking coal, which are pivotal in the production of mild steel (MS). But due to the war between the two nations, global supply chains have been affected, making it more difficult for steel manufacturers to obtain these resources. The disruption has hit steel production globally, causing shortages and increasing prices. Factories across most countries are finding it difficult to have consistent output since the supply of raw materials has become unreliable and costly.

On top of that, recent Russian sanctions have compounded the issue. As Russia is a significant exporter of materials used in steel production, these sanctions make it even more difficult for steelmakers to acquire what they need. This has compelled businesses to seek substitute suppliers, sometimes at increased prices or with extended lead times. Consequently, the international mild steel market outlook continues to be under strain, with price volatility and supply issues persist as long as the war and trade barriers continue.

Feedstock Analysis

Steel prices experienced frequent rises and falls during mid-2024 due to regional supply-demand variations combined with changes in raw materials costs. The US government has implemented 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, which will lead to a rise in MS angle prices due to its steel content as a raw material. Other reasons, such as the Russia Ukraine war, have also affected the raw material supply, which is affecting the pricing analysis.  These factors will also affect the demand-supply dynamics of the steel industry. Producers will transfer the tariff-induced higher steel costs to consumers through raised MS angle prices. Manufacturing and construction industries which use MS angles may experience cost acceleration, leading to potential price increases in multiple related sectors.

Demand and Supply Outlook for MS Angle

Mild steel angles show a positive outlook because infrastructure investment needs are rising worldwide. Econometric market analysis also suggests that MS angles are expected to remain vital for structural reinforcement and construction applications in buildings, bridges, roads, and utilities due to intensified urban development efforts and substantial government funding for infrastructure projects. The demand forecast for MS angles continues to rise as awareness of sustainability and eco-friendly construction practices grows. The growth in demand for MS angle products is expected to affect the current supply balance, which will lead to higher prices.
