High Strength Steel Market by Type (High Strength Low Allow Steels, Dual Phase Steels, Bake Hardenable Steels, & Others), by Application (Body and Closures, Suspensions, Bumper and Intrusion Beams), by End-User (Automotive, Construction, & Others), and by Region With Forecast 2017-2030

Market Overview

In order to make wide range of solutions for automotive industry and material supplier to meet the requirements related to reduce fuel consumption, improve driver safety, ensure product reliability, and increase affordability, high strength steel (HSS) market have seen the new heights. Now HSS material is the dominant engineering alloy in order to implement all the mentioned requirements in vehicles due to its affordability, performance, manufacturability, and recyclability.

Tata Steel's Service Center Maastricht subsidiary in the Netherlands commissioned a large heavy gauge decoiler which served the growing markets in Europe for high strength steels, especially in the Lifting & Excavating sector.

Market Share by Product Type & Geography

On the basis of product type, dual phase is the fastest-growing segment of the high strength steels market with a CAGR of 21.1% owing to its excellent combination of strength and drawability as a result of their good ductility and strain hardening capacity from the beginning of deformation, which ensure homogeneous strain redistribution and reduce local thinning. High strength low alloy steels accounted for largest share in terms of volume attributed to the mechanical properties and it has low carbon content that provide improved weldability as well as resistance and formability.        

Based on geography, North America held the highest share i.e. 40% in the high strength steel market in 2017 while APAC tends to be the fastest growing high strength steel market registering the CAGR of 8.1% owing to the increasing number of automotive manufacturers, water projects, petrochemical industry, chemical industry, agricultural industry and urban construction. China tends to be the opportunistic market for high strength steel due to growing industrialization and infrastructural developments.

Trends, Drivers & Challenges to Market Growth

According to our global market study on the basis of extensive primary and secondary research:  “One trend is the innovation in metallurgy and material processing while addressing industry’s critical needs. Tubular steel towers for multi-megawatt turbines are the emerging end user segment as steel towers represent about 15 to 20% of the total installation costs and innovative connection has substantially improved structural performance of the connection in fatigue, at least double fatigue endurance and almost no limits to the connection strength.”

According to the report, major driving factor for High Strength Steel Market is the automotive weight reduction with steel making important contribution ecologically and economically, the greatest of which is to cut CO2 emissions. For example, there are steels that only achieve their final high strength during forming at the OEM’s plant while other steels are initially readily formable and then achieve high strength through the high temperatures of the painting process.  

Further, the report states the major challenge that is high production cost of high strength steels is restraining the growth of the high strength steel market. High cost of high strength steel affect its penetration rate into other verticals like heavy machinery in energy sector.
