世界の鋼鉄の市場規模は、2024年に1兆4,700億米ドルに達し、2032年までに2兆1,100億米ドルに達すると予測され、予測期間の2025年~2032年にCAGRで4.60%の成長が見込まれます。
市場は、建設、自動車、インフラ、エネルギー部門からの需要により、産業成長の重要な柱であり続けています。鋼鉄生産は、主に急速な都市化と工業化による需要の高まりによって成長しています。例えば、2024年12月の世界の粗鋼生産は1億4,450万トンに達し、2023年12月と比較して5.6%増加しました。このデータはWorld Steel Associationに報告している71ヶ国を対象としています。新興経済国では需要が伸びており、先進地域はグリーンスチールや脱炭素化に注力しています。
鋼鉄市場の動向
鋼鉄産業は世界最大の炭素排出元の1つであり、世界のCO2排出の約7~9%を占めているため、グリーンスチールと脱炭素化が世界の鋼鉄市場における重要な動向となっています。世界の気候変動目標に合わせるため、鋼鉄メーカーは従来の高炉から、水素直接還元鉄(H-DRI)や電気炉(EAF)のようなよりクリーンな技術への移行を進めています。この転換は、環境規制の強化、投資家の圧力、EUのCarbon Border Adjustment Mechanism(CBAM)のようなカーボンプライシングメカニズムによって推進されています。
主要企業は、競争力を維持し、ESG目標を達成するために、低炭素ソリューションに多額の投資を行っています。例えば、SSABは2021年8月、水素還元海綿鉄を使用した世界初の化石燃料を使用しない鋼鉄を生産し、Volvo Groupに納入しました。SABは、2026年までに産業規模で化石燃料を使用しない鋼鉄を提供することを目指しており、2030年までにCO2排出をほぼゼロにする計画です。
力学
インフラ建設産業の成長
鋼鉄は建物、橋梁、道路、鉄道の基幹材料であるため、インフラ建設産業の成長は世界の鋼鉄市場の大きな促進要因です。新興経済国における急速な都市化と人口増加が、住宅や商業構造物の需要を促進しています。US Geological Surveyによると、2024年に建設部門が鋼鉄の純出荷の約30%を占めており、鋼鉄消費におけるその重要な役割を浮き彫りにしています。
スマートシティや持続可能な建設活動の台頭も、先進の鋼鉄製品に大きく依存しています。加えて、先進国の再建と近代化も高性能鋼を求め続けています。工場や倉庫を含む産業建設の急増も、この増加傾向に拍車をかけています。
環境規制と脱炭素化圧力
環境規制と脱炭素化圧力は、コンプライアンスコストを増加させ、メーカーにクリーン技術への投資を強いることで、世界の鋼鉄市場を大きく抑制しています。鋼鉄生産はもっとも炭素集約的な産業の1つであり、厳しい排出規制と炭素税を引き寄せています。こうした規制は経費を押し上げ、特に旧式の石炭系プラントの競争力を低下させます。企業は現在、水素を利用した製鉄などのグリーン技術に多額の投資をしなければなりませんが、これらはまだコストが高く、広く採用されていません。この移行期は成長を鈍化させ、世界の鋼鉄産業全体に不確実性をもたらしています。

Global steel market reached US$ 1.47 trillion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 2.11 trillion by 2032, growing with a CAGR of 4.60% during the forecast period 2025-2032.
The global steel market remains a critical pillar of industrial growth, driven by demand from the construction, automotive, infrastructure, and energy sectors. Steel production is growing primarily due to rising demand from rapid urbanization and industrialization. For instance, in December 2024, world crude steel production reached 144.5 million tons, reflecting a 5.6% increase compared to December 2023. This data covers 71 countries reporting to the World Steel Association. Demand is growing in emerging economies, while developed regions focus on green steel and decarbonization.
Steel Market Trend
Green steel and decarbonization is a key trend in the global steel market as the industry is one of the largest carbon emitters, contributing around 7-9% of global CO2 emissions. To align with global climate goals, steelmakers are transitioning from traditional blast furnaces to cleaner technologies like hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (H-DRI) and electric arc furnaces (EAFs). This shift is driven by stricter environmental regulations, investor pressure, and carbon pricing mechanisms like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Leading companies are investing heavily in low-carbon solutions to stay competitive and meet ESG targets. For instance, in August 2021, SSAB produced and delivered the world's first fossil-free steel, made using hydrogen-reduced sponge iron, to Volvo Group. SAB aims to offer fossil-free steel at an industrial scale by 2026 and plans to nearly eliminate its CO2 emissions by 2030.
Dynamics
Infrastructure and Construction Industry Growth
The growth of the infrastructure and construction industry is a major driver of the global steel market, as steel is a core material in buildings, bridges, roads, and railways. Rapid urbanization and population growth in emerging economies are fueling demand for residential and commercial structures. According to the US Geological Survey, in 2024, the construction sector accounted for approximately 30% of net steel shipments, highlighting its substantial role in steel consumption.
The rise of smart cities and sustainable construction practices also relies heavily on advanced steel products. In addition, reconstruction and modernization in developed nations continue to demand high-performance steel. The surge in industrial construction, including factories and warehouses, adds to this upward trend.
Environmental Regulations and Decarbonization Pressures
Environmental regulations and decarbonization pressures are significantly restraining the global steel market by increasing compliance costs and forcing producers to invest in cleaner technologies. Steel production is one of the most carbon-intensive industries, attracting stricter emission limits and carbon taxes. These regulations drive up operational expenses and reduce competitiveness, particularly for older coal-based plants. Companies must now invest heavily in green technologies such as hydrogen-based steelmaking, which are still costly and not widely adopted. This transition phase is slowing growth and creating uncertainty across the global steel industry.
The global steel market is segmented based on the steel type, product, manufacturing process, application and region.
Carbon Steel Dominates the Global Steel Market Due to Its Versatility and Cost-Effectiveness
Carbon steel holds a significant share in the global steel market due to its wide-ranging applications, cost-effectiveness, and versatile properties. It is extensively used in construction, automotive, infrastructure, and manufacturing industries. The material's high strength and durability make it ideal for structural components and machinery. Its relatively low production cost compared to alloy steels contributes to its widespread adoption. Carbon steel is also easy to weld and form, enhancing its appeal in fabrication processes.
Companies expand into emerging markets to tap into untapped resources and reduce production costs. For instance, in 2024, Tsingshan Holding, a China-based company, announced to launch of its carbon steel plant in Manhize, Zimbabwe. This marks a major milestone for Zimbabwe, positioning it to become one of Africa's leading steel producers.
Asia-Pacific Dominates the Global Steel Market Due to High Production and Rapid Infrastructure Growth
The Asia-Pacific region holds a significant share of the global steel market due to its rapid industrialization, urbanization, and infrastructure development, particularly in countries like China and India. According to World Steel Association AISBL 2024 data, China remained the top steel-producing country with 1,005.1 million tons produced from January to December, marking an 11.8% increase in December alone compared to 2023. India followed as the second-largest producer, recording 149.6 million tons in the same period, with a 9.5% rise in December output year-on-year. These figures highlight the Asia-Pacific region's dominant role in global steel production.
The region's large population and economic growth fuel consistent steel consumption across the automotive, construction, and machinery sectors. The region is also a major exporter, supplying steel to markets worldwide. As a result, Asia-Pacific remains the dominant force shaping global steel industry trends.
Impact Of US Tariffs
In March 2025, the US President imposed a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports to support US manufacturing, sparking immediate backlash. The move, part of a broader effort to fix trade imbalances, triggered swift retaliatory tariffs from the European Union and Canada. Trump warned of further US actions in response, heightening fears of a global trade war.
US tariffs on steel significantly impact the global steel market by disrupting trade flows and increasing prices. Exporting countries face reduced access to the American market, leading to oversupply and price drops in other regions. This causes steel producers worldwide to seek alternative markets, intensifying competition.
The major global players in the market include Baowu Group Corporation Limited, Nippon Corporation, Thyssenkrupp AG, Tata Sons Private Limited, JFE Steel Corporation, Hyundai Steel Co., Ltd., Nucor Corporation, JSW Limited, Pohang Iron and Steel Company, Jiangsu Shagang Group Company Limited and others.
