Extensive Adoption by Downstream Industries to Aid the Growth of the Steel Market

Due to favourable properties of the product, such as malleability, ductility, durability, hardness, and versatility, the demand within the steel industry has witnessed a sustained growth, making it one of the leading industries globally. The market growth has been further catalysed by the extensive adoption of steel within the production processes of a wide variety of industries, including the transportation, manufacturing, construction, and aviation industries, among others. As populations grow and the standards of living improve, the demand for steel is also expected to be augmented. Looking forward, the steel industry is expected to gain momentum owing to the rising demand for automobiles and infrastructural growth. The growing demand for alternative and sustainable energy sources is expected to provide a further impetus to the growth of the market as the infrastructure of renewable energy sources like solar wind and hydropower make ample use of stainless steel. The growth in household income and spending power is also expected to aid the market as a number of home appliances like refrigerators, televisions, ovens, and others make use of steel.

 

The Asia Pacific Region to Contribute Significantly to the  Growth of the Steel Industry

The Asia Pacific region comprises of a number of emerging economies that are some of the major producers of steel globally. Within the Asia Pacific, India is one of the major regional markets for steel. In India, the iron and steel industry is experiencing a robust demand from sectors like infrastructure, oil and gas, and automotive, which has been driving the growth of the steel industry in the region. The Indian steel industry is further being driven by the easy availability of low-cost manpower and the presence of abundant iron ore reserves in the country. The implementation of schemes by the Government of India like the Jal Jiban Mission, Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana -Gramin and Urban (PMAY-G & U), Bharatmala and Sagarmala, and the National Steel Policy have provided favourable prospects for public and foreign investments, further leading to the growth of the steel industry. The launch of various projects like the construction of metro railways and new airports and irrigation projects are anticipated to catalyse the market growth in India, thus, aiding the overall growth of the steel industry.

 

Steel: Industry  Definition and Segmentation

Steel is an iron-based alloy, which might contain carbon, silicon, manganese, and other minerals. The process of steelmaking involves the production of steel from iron ore and/or scrap. Due to its high durability and malleability, steel is a preferred choice of raw material in a number of industries like the manufacturing, automotive, and consumer products industries.

Post-Pandemic Rebound in Construction and Automotive Activities to Augment the Market Growth of the Steel Industry

Post the COVID-19 pandemic that adversely affected the output of major industries, the global economy is expected to witness a healthy recovery. The steel industry is expected to recover from the adverse impact of the pandemic by 2021 as all the major steel producing countries have been projected to witness an increase in the use of steel with the recovery in downstream demand. As almost all the countries of the world aim at restoring their economies with the help of real estate construction, the steel industry is expected to witness a robust growth. Steel is the material of choice in the construction activities because of its durability, recyclability, resistance to fire, and corrosion.

 

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the automobile sector witnessed constrained operations due to the global lockdown restrictions and falling demand, which negatively impacted the steel industry. However, as the pandemic is expected to recede by 2021, the automobile sector is projected to recover and flourish due to the recovery in economy and demand, along with the launch of various new projects. This is anticipated to catalyse the demand growth within the steel industry. As the pandemic has propelled the demand for personal vehicles as opposed to using public transport due to heightened health and hygiene consciousness, the demand for steel is expected to witness further growth.

 

The market for steel is further expected to be supported by the growing trends of sustainability and eco-consciousness. Being the world’s most recycled material, the product is expected to witness a healthy growth in demand owing to the growing environmental concerns among the consumers. It is further proven that steel does not release toxins into the ground, thus, making it an eco-friendly product, which is further anticipated to boost its demand.
