By 2034, the value of the direct reduced iron market (Marché du fer directement réduit) is projected to have increased from USD 28,195.90 million in 2024 to USD 60,013.60 million. Over the next ten years, this market is predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.60%.
Significant changes in the steel industry are pushing forward the demand for direct reduced iron. Presently, the steel industry is going through a pivotal shift toward lower-carbon production. This is raising the demand for alternative technologies like direct reduced iron.
The production of direct reduced iron is projected to separate from steel production, as the global steel sector gradually decarbonizes. More iron ore is expected to be processed in places where renewable energy sources are available and where cheap green hydrogen can be produced.
The resultant direct reduced iron is planned to be shipped to places with higher steel demand. Going forward, North America and the Middle East are assessed to become global leaders in DRI trade.
“Key players are investing in new establishments and technologies to propel their growth,” says an analyst of Future Market Insights.
