According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Carbon Steel Market" The carbon steel market size was valued at $0.9 trillion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $1.3 trillion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2023 to 2032.
Carbon steel is a type of steel that primarily consists of iron and carbon, with trace amounts of other elements. This type of steel is the most popular and frequently encountered in a variety of sectors due to its low cost and favorable mechanical qualities. Carbon steel typically has a carbon percentage ranging from 0.05 percent to 2.0 percent. It is categorized into three main types based on its carbon content: low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel. Carbon steel is used in a wide range of sectors, including construction, automotive, equipment, infrastructure, oil and gas, and others. It can be found in tools, pipelines, bridges, structural elements, and many pieces of industrial machinery.
The wide utilization of carbon steel in the automobile industry drives the growth of the market. Carbon steel is an effective material for structural elements and parts that require high load-bearing capacity due to its superior strength and durability. It can withstand the strains and forces applied to the vehicle's chassis, suspension, and different structural reinforcements. Carbon steel is used for producing various structural elements, including chassis, body panels, frame rails, and reinforcing bars. It is ideal for supporting the vehicle's weight and retaining structural integrity due to its prominent levels of strength, stiffness, and durability. Moreover, carbon steel is cheaper when compared to other materials like aluminum or modern high-strength steel. Because of its lower cost, it is frequently used for large-scale production in the automobile sector, where cost-effectiveness is vital.
Manufacturers can efficiently shape carbon steel into intricate parts and components as it is simple to form, mold, and weld. It has good ductility, allowing for the development of complex designs and customization for various vehicle models. It is an excellent choice for ensuring crash protection and occupant safety in automobiles due to its great strength and impact resistance. It can absorb and release energy during crashes, reducing the risk of deformation and safeguarding the passengers. Therefore, the carbon steel market is expanding due to the widespread use of carbon steel in the automobile industry and its advantageous mechanical properties, affordability, and adaptability.
The rise in infrastructural development has boosted the demand for carbon steel as it is widely used in residential and commercial buildings. The construction of structural components, including beams, columns, and load-bearing parts, often requires carbon steel. It can support enormous loads and provide stability to structures and buildings due to its tremendous strength. In addition, concrete foundations, slabs, walls, and beams are all reinforced with carbon steel rebars. They increase the concrete's tensile strength and resilience, ensuring structural integrity and resistance to collapse or cracking.
Bolts, screws, nails, and anchors are just a few examples of the different connectors and fasteners used in construction. These fasteners offer dependable connections between various building components, such as wooden, concrete, or steel ones. Furthermore, in HVAC systems, carbon steel ductwork is frequently used to deliver conditioned air throughout buildings. The durability and long life of carbon steel ducts are ensured by the material's resistance to temperature fluctuations, as well as its strength and rigidity. Carbon steel is frequently used in the construction of stairways, handrails, and balustrades due to its structural durability and aesthetically pleasing appearance. It can be molded into many different patterns and finishes, offering both safety and aesthetic appeal. Owing to these factors, the demand for the carbon steel market will increase significantly during the forecast period. The complex manufacturing process of carbon steel restrains the growth of the market. Iron ore, coal, and other raw materials used in carbon steel production can have a wide range of qualities and characteristics. Variations in the chemical composition, impurity content, and physical attributes of these components might impact the final properties of the steel.
The carbon steel market is divided on the basis of type, product, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of type, the market is classified into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel, and others. On the basis of product, the market is classified into carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel.
