Flat Steel Market

The global flat steel market was valued at USD 434.8 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 580.2 billion by 2024, growing at 5.9% cagr from 2019 to 2024. The key factors driving the growth of this market are the increasing demand for flat steel products from building & infrastructure, mechanical equipment, automotive, and other end-use sectors.

Flat Steel Market

The basic oxygen furnace segment is projected to be the largest segment during the forecast period

On the basis of process, the basic oxygen furnace segment accounted for the largest share in 2018. This is a traditional process that is widely accepted by steel manufacturers. The basic oxygen furnace process is costlier than the electric arc furnace process. The high production rate, low nitrogen content, and low labor requirements make basic oxygen furnace the most preferred process of manufacturing flat steel.

By type, sheets & strips is expected to be the largest segment of the flat steel market during the forecast period

By type, the sheets & strips segment accounted for the largest share of the flat steel market in 2018. This large share is mainly attributed to its increasing applications in the packaging, home appliances, and electronics industries. They are extensively used in the manufacturing of door & window hoods, wall ornaments, refrigerators, steel drums, steel furniture, dry batteries, automobiles, washing machines, gutters, downspouts, and roof ornaments, among others.

Building & infrastructure is projected to be the fastest-growing and the largest end-use sector of the flat steel market during the forecast period

The growth of the building & infrastructure end-use sector is attributed to the extensive use of flat steel in the construction of buildings, railway tracks, roads, bridges, factories, and other engineering structures. It not only lowers construction costs but also reduces the long-term maintenance costs of buildings. Flat steel is used in the development of infrastructure in the energy sector. It is used in the building & infrastructure sector as it offers design flexibility, strength, and durability. It is used in oil, gas, nuclear, solar, wind, and hydro energy plants.

Flat Steel Market

Asia Pacific projected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period

Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the global flat steel market in 2018, followed by Europe and North America. China is one of the major consumers of flat steel in the Asia Pacific region. The market here is witnessing growth due to the increasing demand for flat steel and a rise in the number of end-use sectors in emerging economies such as India. The Indian flat steel market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period due to the growth of the economy, the rise in urban population, and the development of varied industries such as construction and automotive, among others, in the country.
