Steel rebar is used as tensioning device and assists to hold the concrete in a compressed state. The steel rebar are used to enhance the tensile strength of concrete due to it can carry heavy load for compression but weak in tension. Steel rebar is expected to boost the chemical reactions and increase thermal expansion coefficient. There are various steel rebar which includes deformed and mild. The growing demand for construction and infrastructure development across the globe further grows the demand for steel rebar. This expected to enhance the production to meet the growing consumption of steel rebar over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

The growth of the steel rebar market is primarily driven by the rising urban population, growing demand for steel rebars in various end user industries, rapid industrialization, and increase in infrastructure development. Furthermore, growing construction industry across the globe, increase in bridge and road construction across the globe and increase in demand from application sectors which includes infrastructure, housing, industrial, is estimated to boost the market growth. Moreover, rapid urbanization in developing countries, growing infrastructure development, government investment for public transport development and rapid industrialization, and increase in innovation and development in steel rebar are expected to create opportunities for the manufacturers in the global market over the forecast period. However, fluctuating prices of raw materials and overproduction of steel rebar by developing countries such as China and India are expected to hamper the growth of the global steel rebar market in the coming years.

By process, basic oxygen process dominated the steel rebar market

Based on process, the market has been segmented into basic oxygen process and electric arc furnace. The basic oxygen process segment accounts of the largest share in the market and are expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5.8% during the forecast period.

Basic oxygen process enhances the heat dissipation due to oxidation process. This process is cost-effective and creates less wastage and pollution. The manufacturers Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, ArcelorMittal, Steel Asia Manufacturing Corporation, and Hyundai Steel Company are the mainly investing in the development of basic oxygen process for the steel rebar, which expected the lead the market in the coming years.

Based on type, the deformed steel segment is expected to dominate during the forecast period

Based on type, the market has been segmented into deformed steel and mild steel. The deformed steel segment accounts of the largest share in the market and held for more than 55% of the total market in 2018. The deformed steel is formulated from carbon steel and offers enhanced mechanical anchoring in concrete. The deformed steel is majorly used in various applications which include columns, precast products, slabs, cages, and beams. The major factors that are driving the growth of this segment are high thermal conductivity and low cost of deformed steel and growing demand for deformed steel in various applications which includes. This expected to enhance the dominance of the deformed steel segment in the global market over the forecast period.
