The global steel market size reached US$ 1,823.5 billion in 2022. Over the assessment period, global steel demand is set to rise at 4.4% CAGR. Total valuation is expected to increase from US$ 1,893.9 billion in 2023 to US$ 2,901.9 billion in 2033.
Several factors are expected to drive the growth of the steel market. These include rising demand for lightweight and cost-effective materials and rapid expansion of building & construction, automotive, oil & gas, consumer appliances, and other industries.
Rapid industrialization and robust economic growth are attracting investments in infrastructure development, construction, and manufacturing activities. This, in turn, is expected to drive demand for steel and its products as they are widely used in the building & construction sector.
The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is creating the need for lightweight materials to enhance energy efficiency and extend the driving range of EVs. This will encourage the adoption of steel for making different automotive components, thereby fueling its sales.
A key factor propelling the sector forward is the increasing acceptance of pre-engineered metal structures and lightweight construction materials to promote energy savings. Another significant motivator is shifting from traditional casting methods to innovative technologies that employ recycled metals.
New steel materials help to decrease corporate risks associated with subpar welding quality, save building costs, and improve customer safety. Contractors use materials like tubes and cold and hot rolled steel to satisfy construction and safety regulations.

Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) and innovative steel alloys strike a crucial balance between strength and weight. This is positioning them as favorable materials for electric vehicle manufacturing.
The global push towards renewable energy sources, including wind and solar power, is another prominent factor expected to drive steel demand globally. This is because steel is widely used in constructing wind turbines, solar panels, and supporting structures for renewable energy projects.
