Electrical Steel Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, Segmented, By Type, By Application, By Vertical, By Region, By Competition, 2020-2030F

Description

The Global Electrical Steel Market was valued at USD 25.78 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 36.52 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.82% during the forecast period. This market encompasses the worldwide production, distribution, and use of specialized steel alloys designed to optimize the efficiency of electrical devices by reducing energy losses caused by hysteresis and eddy currents. Electrical steel, also known as silicon steel or transformer steel, is divided into two primary categories: grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES) and non-grain-oriented electrical steel (NGOES). Each type serves distinct roles in power generation, distribution, and electric motor manufacturing. GOES is predominantly used in transformers, where its high permeability and low core loss characteristics enhance the efficiency of electrical transmission systems. NGOES, on the other hand, is widely employed in motors, generators, and other rotating machinery, ensuring optimal magnetic performance and energy conservation.

Key Market Drivers

Increasing Demand for Energy-Efficient Transformers and Motors

The global push towards energy efficiency is a significant driver of growth in the electrical steel market, especially for the development of high-performance transformers and motors. Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are enforcing strict energy-efficiency standards, such as the Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and the European Union's Ecodesign Directive, which mandate reduced energy losses in electrical equipment. Electrical steel, particularly GOES, plays a vital role in minimizing core losses in transformers, thereby improving energy efficiency. Additionally, NGOES is widely used in electric motors, which are critical to various industrial and consumer applications, including HVAC systems, home appliances, and industrial automation.

Key Market Challenges

Fluctuations in Raw Material Prices

One of the primary challenges for the electrical steel market is the volatility in raw material prices, particularly iron ore and alloying elements like silicon and aluminum. Electrical steel production relies heavily on these materials, and any price fluctuations directly impact manufacturing costs. Iron ore, a key component in steelmaking, has experienced significant price volatility due to factors such as global supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and environmental regulations affecting mining operations. Likewise, alloying elements like silicon and aluminum, which enhance the electrical and magnetic properties of steel, are subject to price changes driven by shifts in global demand, trade restrictions, and extraction challenges.

Key Market Trends

Growing Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption Driving Demand for Advanced Electrical Steel

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is a major factor driving the demand for high-performance electrical steel, especially NGOES, which is essential for enhancing the efficiency of electric motors and powertrain components. Governments in various regions are implementing stricter emission regulations, offering subsidies, and providing incentives to encourage EV adoption. This transition is prompting automakers to accelerate their shift towards electrification, thereby increasing the demand for advanced electrical steel grades that offer superior magnetic properties, reduced energy loss, and enhanced efficiency.
