Report Outlook

The global structural steel market was valued at USD 111.37 Billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.

Structural steel is a high-strength and versatile metal alloy primarily composed of iron and a small percentage of carbon, with additional alloying elements such as manganese, silicon, and traces of other elements. Its strength, durability, and flexibility make it a fundamental material in the construction industry for a wide range of structural applications. Utilized in the fabrication of beams, columns, and other load-bearing components, structural steel provides the framework for buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, and various infrastructure projects.

The global demand for structural steel continues to rise due to its widespread use in the construction industry. Increasing urbanization, population growth, and infrastructure development projects worldwide contribute significantly to the market's expansion. The wider applicability and high strength-to-weight ratio of structural steel make it an essential material for constructing residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, as well as bridges and other infrastructure. Also, advancements in construction technologies and engineering design practices enhance the efficiency of structural steel, further boosting its market growth.

By Product Analysis

  • The heavy structural steel segment is expected to hold a significant market share over the forecast period.

The anticipated dominance of the heavy structural steel segment in the structural steel market in 2023 is because of the robustness and ability of heavy structural steel to withstand significant loads. The surge in large-scale projects, such as industrial complexes, bridges, and high-rise buildings, requires materials with heavy load-bearing capacity and durability. Heavy structural steel, with its high strength and resistance to deformation, emerges as the material of choice for these applications. Also, modern architectural designs often involve complex structures that demand the use of heavy steel components to ensure stability and safety. The industrial sector's expansion, including energy-related projects, manufacturing plants, and infrastructure development, further increases the demand for heavy structural steel.

By End-Use Analysis

  • The non-residential segment dominated the revenue share in 2023.

The segment accounted for the dominating revenue share because of the robust demand arising from various non-residential construction activities encompassing commercial, industrial, and institutional projects. It exhibits a heavy dependence on structural steel due to its extraordinary strength, durability, and adaptability. The rising global economy has led to significant investments in commercial complexes, office spaces, and retail establishments, all of which require materials capable of supporting complex architectural designs and heavy loads. Structural steel emerges as an essential product in meeting these requirements, offering engineers and builders the flexibility to build non-residential structures without compromising on structural strength. Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and infrastructure projects require materials that can withstand the difficulties of industrial processes and environmental factors, making heavy structural steel an ideal choice.
