Electrical steel sheets are used in the electromagnetic devices such as generators, transformer, and motors. It is also referred as silicon steel, lamination steel or transformer steel, and is mainly used in automotive industries and electrical power distribution systems.
Market Dynamics
Global electrical steel market is growing at a substantial rate, owing to rise in consumption rate of electrical steel in motors and transformers. Furthermore, increasing sales of automotive vehicles is the key underlying factor supporting market growth. This scenario is expected to provide lucrative growth to the global electrical steel market over the forecast period.
Major players in the global electrical steel market are increasing their investment on innovative product launches, research & development, and marketing & promotional activities to capitalize on emerging trends in various end-use energy, household appliances and automobile industry. For instance, in 2018, AK Steel (steelmaking company), launched electrical steel for use in high voltage and ultra-voltage power transformers, TRAN-COR X, belongs to high permeability grain oriented electrical steel (GOES) type. This scenario is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on application, the transformers segment is projected to be the largest segment in the electrical steel market. Growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the high demand for electrical steel as it is used in power generation, transmission, and distribution industries. Electrical steel is used in electrical transformer cores and other electrical devices, owing to the low hysteresis loss, high permeability, and high resistance it offers. It is used to make iron cores of motors. These cores concentrate the magnetic field and make the electromagnet stronger. Electrical steel is also used in the manufacturing of cores of inductors that are used extensively with capacitors and resistors to create filters for analog circuits and in signal processing.
