Latest News- Iron and Steel Market: Construction is expected to lead the End-user segment during 2024-2028

The Iron and Steel Market is being driven by Upsurge in consumption of high-strength stainless steel

The Iron and Steel Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.65% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 478.1 billion. In the global iron and steel market, the utilization of scraped steel and stainless steel plays a pivotal role in enhancing economic viability and lessening environmental impact. Recycling steel and stainless steel scrap significantly reduces the need for iron ore extraction in stainless steel production, thereby decreasing CO2 emissions, energy and water consumption, and air pollution. Steel's exceptional circularity properties enable it to be recycled repeatedly into new steel, preserving its original attributes. Magnetically separable steel scrap can be effortlessly extracted from mixed waste streams. However, the majority of emissions from the iron and steel industry originate from producing steel from primary iron ore sources, with coal and natural gas frequently employed as energy and reductant.
