Structural Steel Market Strategies With Forecasts 2028
Structural Steel Industry Overview
The global structural steel market size is expected to reach USD 146.41 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period. The market growth is attributed to the growth in the construction sector and rising demand for steel as a green and sustainable material. Structural steel is utilized for construction-related applications. Its high carbon content offers high strength and low ductility. It is available in the form of various shapes such as I-beam, Z-shape, angle, tee, bar, and rod, depending upon the applications. It can be customized into a variety of shapes in different thicknesses and sizes owing to its ductility. Based on application, the market is segmented into residential and non-residential, where the latter dominates the market, in terms of revenue share.
Structural Steel Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global structural steel market on the basis of application and region:
Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Residential and Non-Residential.
- The non-residential emerged as the dominant application segment in 2020 with a revenue share of more than 53%. It is estimated to expand further at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the increasing spending on healthcare facilities, data centers, big-box retail stores, stadiums, airports, and manufacturing facilities. The segment is further divided into industrial, commercial, offices, and institutional.
- The industrial sub-segment accounts for the maximum share in the non-residential segment. Structural steel is majorly used in industrial buildings due to its extreme strength, which is beneficial not only for structural integrity but also for subsiding the potential impact of repairs. It is also ideal for building large bridges owing to its high durability and excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which ensures withstanding the weight of cars and pedestrians.
- The residential application segment accounted for the second-highest revenue share in 2020. The product is widely utilized in housing and residential buildings owing to its lightweight and high-strength characteristics, which minimizes the load on the foundation and reduces sub-structure costs.
- In addition, due to its excellent flexibility and adaptability in modular construction, it can be dismantled and moved easily, thus maintaining the asset value of buildings. Structural steel can be used in various ways in residential buildings ranging from a single-family house to a big mixed-space building. Moreover, it also provides environmental benefits as it is 100% recyclable with no degradation.
