Industry Trends and Drivers:

● Applications in the automotive and manufacturing sectors:

A growing demand for electric and hybrid cars to boost the use of steel in vehicles as an auto material. Car makers need steel to produce durable but cheap products for structures such as the car chassis and frame. New lighter steels are also being developed that make fuel-efficient cars safe to drive. While on the other hand the manufacturing industry makes use of steel in tools and in machinery used in such areas as agricultural as well as the Aerospace Engineering domain. The aspect of sustainability points at the factor of recyclability as the advantage that is usable in both industries.

● Technological advancements in steel production:

Electric arc furnace together with steel production is becoming cheaper and environmentally friendly. They are relatively low energy consumers and are less polluting sources as compared to blast furnaces. The new steel alloys are also being developed. They are also lighter, stronger and more special in their property than the ordinary alloys. This is especially important to the construction, automotive, and aerospace industries. They require high performing materials. Further, the use of automation, AI as well as data analytics in steelmaking is enhancing the operational efficiency of the industry. It agrees as it curtails wastage of time and resources and increases precision. These advances make it possible for the steel producers to satisfy this increasing demand in many sectors.

● Infrastructure development:

Infrastructure industry has witnessed tremendous investment from the governments of most countries particularly the developing countries. This has been established reveal that as urban developments grows rapidly, there is need to erect many more residential units, commercial establishments, roads, and energy facilities that must be made mostly of steel. Continued expansions in population and economy are seeing governments carry out additional improvements roads, bridges, railways, airports. Various kinds of steel are needed for these projects because of the quality such as strength, durable and versatile. They also require new constructions or renovation of old infrastructure so that such works meet the current standards and are long lasting. Rising demands for energy-efficient building solutions for sustainable constructions and smart city projects boost the demand for steel across green buildings.
