COVID-19 ANALYSIS 

  • Increased steel demand in 2020 compared to October 2020 forecasts for both developed and developing economies.
  • Despite a favorable global figure, many countries saw double-digit declines in steel demand in 2020.
  • Because of stricter containment measures, falling raw material prices, tourism collapses, and insufficient fiscal support, emerging economies were more vulnerable to the pandemic.
  • In both developed and developing economies, a healthy recovery is expected in 2021.
  • Steel demand in developing economies is expected to recover faster than in developed economies, returning to pre-pandemic levels in 2021. It will most likely take longer in developed economies.
  • A steady recovery is expected to continue into 2022, with some growth moderation. 

MARKET: TREND

Increasing Demand in Emerging Countries Propel Market Growth    

Asia has emerged as the world's largest stainless steel producing region, accounting for nearly 60% of global output. China is by far the largest producer and consumer of stainless steel, with an annual output of around 8.8 million metric tons. China produces and consumes more than one-third of all stainless steel in the world. There is actively monitoring and rapidly growing South East Asian markets and have established facilities in Indonesia to capitalize on this opportunity.  
 

Stainless steel production has increased at a five percent annual rate over the last ten years in response to a steady increase in demand. Meanwhile, product manufacturing technology has advanced to provide higher-performance products to the market at lower costs, and as a result, product quality has been improved, manufacturing efficiency has improved, and capacity increase and integration of production equipment has advanced significantly across many regions. New steels with increased functionality, such as high-purity ferritic and dual-phase stainless steels, have been developed and are now in commercial production, thanks to advancements in manufacturing technology.

MARKET: DRIVERS

Rising application in agriculture sector drive market growth  

Stainless steel can be found on farms in a variety of applications, from a simple feeding pail to the most advanced fully robotized milking equipment, where it is an alternative to plastics, light metal, and, most notably, galvanized steel. There are compelling economic reasons to switch from steel to stainless steel: standard galvanized parts have a limited useful life. Their corrosion resistance is dependent on the application of a zinc layer. Light structures such as fences, gates, and partitioning walls are examples of farm buildings. Some of the most advanced systems employ stainless steel tubular structures because the components are simple to pre-fabricate and assemble locally, as well as by welding. Their surfaces are extremely cleanable and have a high resistance to shock and abrasion.
 

Increasing Demand in Modular Construction Boost Market Growth

Stainless steel first gained popularity in construction during the Art Deco era. The upper portion of the Chrysler Building was famously made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is now widely used in modern construction due to its strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. It is used in the exterior cladding of large high-impact buildings and can also be found in the interiors in the form of handrails, counter tops, backsplashes, and other decorative elements. Stainless steel is easily welded, has an appealing finish, and requires little maintenance. As a result, it is prominently featured in high-profile modern architecture such as the Eurostar Terminal in London's Waterloo Station, Singapore's Helix Bridge, and New York's One World Trade Center. The trend toward sustainable building also favors stainless steel, which is frequently made up of 90% recycled metal. Stainless steel with a polished or grain finish can help bring natural light into a building, lowering energy consumption.
 

MARKET: RESTRAINT

Availability of Alternative Products to Impact Market Development

The adoption of the product is hampered by the availability of substitutes like aluminum and carbon steel. When compared to these options, the product is also heavy and not water-resistant. As a result, its utilization is limited in areas where products need to be lightweight. These limitations limit market expansion and slow product adoption across a range of industries, including consumer products, engineering, and electronics.
