Description

Global Flat Steel Market, valued at USD 586 billion in 2024, is forecasted to grow to USD 1,037 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 5.9%. This expansion is fueled by the material's essential role in sectors like construction, automotive, mechanical engineering, and energy, where flat steel products such as sheets, coils, and plates provide exceptional strength and versatility. Key growth factors include accelerating urbanization and infrastructure initiatives in developing regions, alongside the automotive industry's push for lightweight, high-strength materials to improve fuel efficiency and support electric vehicle production. Technological improvements in manufacturing, such as electric arc furnaces, enhance product quality and efficiency. Asia-Pacific commands a 40% market share in 2024, led by robust industrial activity in China and India, while North America and Europe emphasize eco-friendly advancements.

Despite strong drivers, the market encounters obstacles including volatile raw material costs for iron ore and coal, which affect profitability, and rigorous environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions, raising operational expenses. Competition from substitutes like aluminum and composites also poses a threat in specific applications. Nevertheless, opportunities emerge from the increasing focus on recyclable and sustainable steel, as well as expanding needs in renewable energy projects such as wind and solar installations that require durable components.

Segment details show sheets and coils as prominent products due to their widespread use, with building and construction leading end-use sectors amid global infrastructure demands. Recent activities include Lindab's acquisition of Zeremis certified green steel from Tata Steel Nederland in October 2024 for eco-conscious manufacturing, and Hammer & Steel Global joining Argonaut Private Equity Fund V in August 2024 to bolster sector expansion. The market's outlook remains optimistic, hinged on sustainability efforts and infrastructure growth, though navigating trade restrictions and emission challenges will be key.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
