Construction is one of the largest end-use industries of stainless steel products. Various infrastructure and construction sites require a massive number of products to enhance the aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance of the structure. The advantages that are offered by the product such as corrosion resistance, formability, weldability, and aesthetic appearance make it an important constituent in the construction industry. Stainless steel is majorly used in the construction industry for architectural cladding, handrails, drainage and water systems, wall support products, roofing, and structures and fixing.
Increasing the use of 200 series in consumer goods owing to its low cost and high strength is anticipated to drive demand for stainless steel. Also, increasing demand for consumer goods such as cookware, kitchen appliances, showpieces, and stoves owing to increasing disposable income and changing lifestyles are anticipated to augment market growth over the coming years.
In Asia Pacific, the growth in the manufacturing sector owing to various factors including government initiatives such as ‘Skill India’ and ‘Make in India’ by the Indian government is anticipated to drive product demand over the coming years. The initiative has prompted many automakers to set their offices in India and procure high-quality products from stainless steel vendors in India. The growing demand for auto products due to rising automotive production, an increase in export, and diversification of the auto sector has created a positive impact on market growth over the coming years.
Report Highlights
200 series accounted for a volume share of 17.5% in 2019 owing to its increasing demand from consumer goods. 200 series is considered to be cost-effective as the nickel which is generally used in manufacturing 300 series is partly replaced by nitrogen and manganese. The yield strength of 200 series is about 40% higher than that of 300 series, which is likely to provide a positive scope for product demand over the coming years.
Duplex series is growing at a significant rate owing to its properties including resistance to stress corrosion cracking, high strength, and lightweight. It is used in various applications such as swimming pool structures, brewing tanks, and hot water tanks. The increasing demand from these applications is anticipated to propel the demand for stainless steel over the coming years.
The long product segment is projected to witness a CAGR of 6.6% in terms of revenue from 2020 to 2027 owing to the increasing infrastructure spending in various Asia Pacific regions. The increasing use of stainless steel long products in heavy industries is anticipated to augment market growth over the coming years.
The automotive and transportation segment accounted for a market revenue share of 15.8% in 2019 owing to the increasing use of stainless steel in various auto components such as basic vehicle frames for doors, mufflers, hoods, and fuel tanks. Iron and steel make up about 70% of an automobile’s weight. According to the World Steel Association stats published in 2019, the global automotive industry accounts for nearly 12% of the global steel consumption. In addition, the drive towards increasing fuel efficiency by reducing vehicle weight is expected to further enhance the penetration of the product in the global automotive sector over the coming years.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 5.3% in terms of volume owing to increasing manufacturing activities and foreign investments in the region. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rate for Asia accounted for 9.1% in 2017, the highest of all regions. An increase in FDI helps to develop different industries in the country and generate more employment, which in turn is anticipated to propel the regional demand for stainless steel over the coming years.
North America is second among the fastest-growing regions in the market for stainless steel owing to the rising construction and consumer goods industries. The aging of infrastructure remains a key factor in the region’s construction industry. As per the 2017’s report of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the U.S. received a D+ grade for its infrastructure and needs to spend around USD 4.5 trillion by 2025 on the country’s infrastructure.
