Carbon steel is a common type of metal that is used in engineering and construction applications. It has high tensile strength and durability, but is less resistant to corrosion than stainless steel. Carbon steel is comprised of iron alloyed with small amounts of carbon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus. These elements are added to improve the steel's properties.
Market Dynamics:
Infrastructure development, automotive industry, and rapid urbanization is anticipated to drive growth of the global carbon steel market over the forecast period. Moreover, energy sector is also expected to boost the growth of the global carbon steel market over the forecast period. Green steel production, high-strength, low-alloy steels, developing markets, and value-added products are expected to create growth opportunities for the global carbon steel market over the forecast period. The rapid industrialization and urbanization in countries across Asia Pacific are driving the demand for carbon steel in various industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. The rise in construction activity is driving the demand for carbon steel products. Repair and rehabilitation are anticipated to make up a significant portion of overall costs, with a major portion of demand coming from carbon steel products. Technological innovation and advancement are optimizing the performance of carbon steel products, by making them more widely used in downstream applications. The demand for lightweight and strong materials in the automotive and aerospace industries is driving the expansion of the global carbon steel market.
However, environmental concerns, competition from alternatives, volatility in raw material prices, and overcapacity are expected to hamper growth of the global carbon steel market over the forecast period.
