Structural steel market to surpass $420bn by 2024

Increase of infrastructure development projects in China, Japan, South Korea and India with improving standards of living and necessities for sanitation are likely to stimulate product demand.

China structural steel market size is poised to surpass $130bn up to 2024. Growing preference for high quality structural developments along with increasing investment in steel industry supported by adoption of sustainable mining techniques will have a positive impact on product demand. Opportunities for companies that can offer technologies to support work force productivity, energy saving will surge market growth.

Structural steel industry size from industrial application may reach up to 125 million tons by 2024. Rise in consumer awareness towards green construction material by further reducing greenhouse gas emissions will favour product demand.

Structural steel industry size from energy development application is anticipated to surpass 45 million tons by 2024. Optimising costs and risks of installing large offshore platforms and different construction strategies have been developed including the use of the product, thus stimulating product demand.

Structural steel exhibits excellent ductility, high strength, seismic resistance, and speed of erection. Rising application scope in non-residential applications including healthcare buildings, data centres, institutions, airports, offices and stadiums is projected to foster product demand. Increasing emphasis on technological development will facilitate faster manufacturing process with uniformity, user-friendly procedures to reduce quality issues will boost industry growth.

Light sectional structural steel segment is anticipated to be over 110 million tons in the projected timeframe. It has eminent usage in residential and small building manufacturing owing to its light weight, and quick building ability without using heavy tools or equipment. Manufacturers are engaged in developing cost-efficient equipment with low environmental impacts which will foster market growth.

US structural steel market size from commercial application will witness significant gains of over five percent. Growing prefabricated buildings has led to increased consumption of product supported by regulations to reduce emissions and use of recycled material will contribute towards regional product demand.
