Increasing Demand from Building & Construction Industry
Steel, along with its alloys, is one of the most common metals used across the world in the construction sector, accounting for more than 40% of world steel demand.
Steel is used in buildings and construction owing to it superior properties, such as durability and ductility, thus making the buildings earthquake-resistant.
Increasing rate of high-speed trains in countries like China, Japan, and India have led to the construction of special rail roads, which has led to increasing consumption of carbon-steel, thus enhancing the crude steel demand over the forecast period.
The global spending on construction sector is expected to reach USD 14 trillion by 2025 which is further going to enhance the demand of crude steel. Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the construction market with a CAGR of over 8% by 2023, thereby stimulating the demand for crude steel in the region.
