Global Coated Steel Market Definition

Coating is a term used to describe the application of a decorative and/or protective organic coating to steel substrate supplied in coil form. Coated steel is also called as pre-painted steel. Colour coatings are paint coatings and are specialty products, which are used to give the steel a long term protection under a broad range of corrosive conditions, extending from atmospheric exposure to full immersion in strongly corrosive solutions. A colour coating provides little strength to the substrate steel, yet it protects the steel so that its strength and integrity can be maintained. Coating of steel is a continuous and highly automated industrial process for efficiently coating of coils of steel. In this process of application of colour coating, the substrate steel gets protective and decorative coating. This process of colour coating is also called a duplex coating.

Coating usually refers to the application of liquid paint coat over the substrate in an automatic, continuous process after pre-treatment. The pre-painted colour coated steel is a very high value-added product that combines the best properties of both substrate and organic coating, additionally imparting it an aesthetic finish, high degree of durability and high corrosion resistance. The thickness of colour coating is usually in the range of 15 microns to 40 microns and the finishes are smooth, matt, high gloss, textures and printed. For standard colour coated sheet, the thickness of substrate steel usually varies from 0.2 mm to 1.6 mm and width varies from 600 mm to 1600 mm. Colour coating is done on various substrates of steels to produce most cost effective, quality assured products with the top coat compatible with environment.

Global Coated Steel Market Overview

Increase in demand for coated steel in the building & construction industry is boosting the global market. Construction activities have increased across the globe. According to Statistics Bureau Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, the country spent US$ 30,380 Bn on building & construction in 2017; of this, US$ 16,570 Bn was spent on residential buildings and US$ 13,810 Bn on non-residential buildings. Thus, growth in the construction industry is expected to propel the demand for coated steel in the near future.

In addition, polyester resin-a type of coated steel-is highly preferred in the industries owing to its property of strongly getting repressed by oxygen, which leaves the surface of the steel coated with polyester sticky and soft. Owing to all these properties, the polyester resin is witnessing high demand, which in turn boosts the global Coated Steel Market. Furthermore, high demand from end-use industries is also propelling the global Coated Steel Market. Moreover, growing potential of people to spend on up gradation of roofing, kitchens, and on basic household improvements in which steel-coated products are used is further fostering the global market growth.

Moreover, the North East and West U.S. are expected to experience major growth in the construction industry due to rising investments in the residential sector. In addition, implementation of the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program has supported growth of the electric vehicles market in U.S. There are over 30 ZEV available for the public in the country. These factors are likely to positively affect the demand for coated steel in these applications. Steel is highly susceptible to rust, which ultimately leads to corrosion. Hence, coating is widely preferred as an alternative to uncoated products to prevent the degradation of the equipment and components used in the end-use industries. However, factors such as application challenges in transportation, cost reduction in order to maintain quality are expected to restrain the market growth across the globe over the forecast period.

Key Developments

• Partnerships, Collaborations, and Agreements
• In April 2022, JFE Steel Corporation and Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe (Germany's largest steel maker) jointly launched new 1180MPa-class and980- high-strength steel sheets that are capable of cold forming for the production of automobile frame components. The products that achieve higher yield strength and, especially, excellent local flexibility, compared to conventional tensile steel sheets, will contribute to lighter-weight automobile body frames and subsequently better crash safety performance. These new sheets are also expected to lower manufacturing costs and help raise productivity by enabling customers to produce complicated-shape components using a conventional cold forming process rather than hot stamping.
• Product Launches and Product Expansions
• In April 2021, Nippon Steel and the former Nippon Steel Nisshin Co., Ltd. sold highly corrosion-resistant steel sheets and ZAM in overseas markets since 2000. Even after their merger in April 2020, the new company has continued selling SD and ZAM. Starting with new orders, the company has begun selling highly corrosion-resistant coated steel sheets for overseas markets under the new brand name, ZAM-EX. They have further decided to offer guarantees as one of the new values for ZAM-EX.
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• In December 2021, JSW Steel, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, infused ₹1,55 crores to complete the acquisition of Asian Colour Coated Ispat on receipt of the written order of NCLT. JSW Steel Colour Products has infused ₹1,550 crores into its subsidiary Hasaud Steel Ltd (HSL) through a mix of quasi-equity/debt instruments and equity as per the resolution plan.
