The Global Long Steel Market Size is expected to reach USD 728.9 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The major factors driving the Growth of the long steel market are increased construction and infrastructure activities, rising population levels, and industrialization. However, the recent Covid-19 outbreak is expected to have a significant impact on the long steel market.

 

 Market Overview

Long steel products, also referred to as long products in the steel industry, including steel products such as wire, rod, rail, and bars, as well as various types of steel structural sections and girders. Long steel products are bridges that are part of a fabricated structural unit. Long steel products include blooms and billets from which bars, rods, and structural shapes are rolled. One of the major factors supporting the growth of the long steel market is the increasing number of infrastructure activities. The long steel market is highly fragmented, with a large number of well-established players in the market. Because of rising urbanization and increased construction activity, the APAC region's demand for long steel products is expected to increase significantly. Long steel is an important component of the building and construction industries, and its market is growing in response to increased demand from the infrastructure and construction industries. It is increasingly being used by builders and construction companies to construct buildings and other infrastructure projects. Because of new metro rail projects, dedicated freight lanes, and the repair and upgrade of highway and railway bridges, the long steel industry has new growth prospects. People all over the world prefer major key players to provide long steel for heavy construction purposes. Rail project horizons in South Asia and Oceania are expanding, allowing many manufacturers to expand in the region.

Market Segmentation

 

The Global Long Steel Market share is segmented into process type, product type, and application.

• During the forecast period, the basic oxygen furnace segment is expected to dominate the long steel market.

Based on the process type, the global long steel market is segmented into basic oxygen furnace and electric arc furnace. Among these, the basic oxygen furnace is expected to have the largest market share during the forecast period. This expansion can be attributed to its benefits, such as high production volume. Due to commercial advantages such as high production capacity, minimal labour, and low nitrogen content, the basic oxygen furnace is the most commonly preferred process for the production of long steel beams for various applications. Steel-producing countries such as New Zealand, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, and the Czech Republic use the oxygen furnace process to produce steel with more than 70% capacity, and the remaining resources are used in the electric furnace.

 

• The rebar segment is expected to lead the long steel market during the predicted period.

Based on the product type, the global long steel market is segmented into rebar, wire rod, merchant bar, and others. Among these, the rebar segment is anticipated to lead the long steel market during the projected period. Rebar steel is the most commonly used steel type in manufacturing, construction, and industrial purposes and is anticipated to grow with significant CAGR throughout the projected years. The new-generation steel manufacturing process produces high-grade long steel beams, which are in high demand in developing countries as well as in developed-country megaprojects, allowing for high growth opportunities in the long steel market.

 

• The construction segment is expected to be the dominating segment during the projected period.

On the basis of application, the global long steel market is differentiated into construction, industrial, and others. Among these, the construction segment is expected to be the dominating segment during the forecast period. Long steel is widely used in residential, infrastructure, and construction applications.
