Structural Steel Market Growth $275.6 Billion by 2034 | CAGR: 6.70%


The global structural steel market size is expected to reach USD 275.6 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Structural Steel Market Share, Size, & Industry Analysis Report, By Product (Heavy Structural Steel and Light Structural Steel), By End-Use, and By Region; Segment Forecast, 20252034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Structural steel is a high-strength, versatile metal alloy composed primarily of iron and a small percentage of carbon, with additional alloying elements such as manganese, silicon, and trace amounts of other elements. Because of its strength, durability, and flexibility, it is a critical material in the construction industry for a wide range of structural applications. Global demand for structural steel is increasing since it is widely used in the construction industry. Globally, increasing urbanization, population growth, and infrastructure development projects all contribute significantly to market growth. The versatility of structural steel and its high strength-to-weight ratio make it an essential material for the construction of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, as well as bridges and other infrastructure. Moreover, advancements in construction technologies and engineering design practices improve structural steel's efficiency, boosting its market growth.

Despite this, fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly for iron ore and scrap metal, have a negative impact on production costs, and, as a result, the overall market is affected. Stricter regulations governing emissions, energy consumption, and the carbon footprint of steel production raise manufacturing costs and limit market growth.
