According to TechSci Research
report, “Rebar Steel Market
- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast &
Opportunities, 2030F, The Global Rebar Steel Market was valued at USD 312.7
billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 401.5 billion by 2030 with a CAGR
of 4.1% through 2030. One significant
driver is the rising focus on seismic-resistant construction in
earthquake-prone regions such as Japan, Turkey, and parts of Latin America.
Governments and developers are increasingly opting for reinforced concrete
structures using rebar to ensure structural safety and compliance with building
codes. Moreover, the trend of high-rise construction and vertical urban
development, particularly in densely populated cities, is propelling the demand
for rebar to enhance structural strength and load-bearing capacity.
Another
key factor is the growing demand for durable materials in coastal and humid
environments, where corrosion-resistant rebar, such as epoxy-coated or
stainless steel, is gaining traction. This shift is expanding the premium
segment of the rebar market. In addition, industrialization in emerging markets
is driving the construction of manufacturing plants, warehouses, and energy
infrastructure, all of which require robust reinforcement solutions. Sustainability
initiatives are also influencing market dynamics. Increased emphasis on green
buildings and recyclable construction materials is encouraging the use of steel
rebar, which can be produced using recycled scrap. Furthermore, advancements in
automated rebar fabrication and digital construction technologies are improving
efficiency and boosting adoption across various construction sectors globally.

Based on Type, Mild segment dominated
the Rebar Steel Market in 2024 and maintain its leadership throughout the
forecast period, largely due to its cost-effectiveness, versatility, and
suitability for a wide range of construction applications. Mild steel, also
known as low carbon steel, contains a relatively low percentage of
carbon—typically around 0.05% to 0.25%—which gives it a unique combination of
strength, ductility, and weldability. These properties make it an ideal
material for reinforcing concrete structures in residential, commercial, and
infrastructure projects.
One of the key reasons for the dominance
of the mild steel segment is its widespread availability and lower
manufacturing cost compared to high-strength or specialty steels. This makes it
the preferred choice in developing countries where infrastructure development
is accelerating, and budget-friendly construction materials are in high demand.
Mild steel rebars are easy to cut, bend, and transport, further enhancing their
appeal on construction sites that require flexible and quick installation
processes.
Additionally, the rapid pace of
urbanization and industrialization in regions such as Asia-Pacific, the Middle
East, and parts of Africa has significantly contributed to the growth of this
segment. Governments in these regions are investing heavily in transportation
infrastructure, housing, water treatment facilities, and power generation—all
of which rely on reinforced concrete that incorporates mild steel rebars. Even
in developed economies, where more advanced grades of steel are available, mild
steel continues to hold a major share due to its proven performance and
economic advantages.
The segment also benefits from strong
support in terms of standards and regulations. Most national and international
building codes recognize and allow the use of mild steel rebars in structural
design, making it easier for contractors and builders to adopt them without the
need for complex certifications or material substitution. Moreover,
advancements in corrosion resistance coatings and improved concrete mix designs
have helped overcome the durability challenges associated with mild steel in
harsh environments, extending its usability across diverse conditions.
In recent years, steel manufacturers
have also invested in upgrading their production technologies to produce mild
steel rebars with more consistent quality and enhanced tensile strength,
aligning with sustainability and performance benchmarks. These innovations,
combined with growing demand for affordable and reliable construction
materials, are expected to further strengthen the market position of the mild
segment in the years ahead.
The mild steel segment
continues to dominate the global rebar steel market owing to its affordability,
workability, availability, and compatibility with construction standards
worldwide, making it indispensable in both emerging and mature construction
sectors.
Asia Pacific is emerging as the
fastest-growing region for the Rebar Steel Market, driven by extensive
infrastructure development, urban expansion, and rising demand for residential
and commercial construction. Countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and
Vietnam are at the forefront of this growth due to massive investments in transportation,
smart cities, and industrial corridors. The region's growing population and
urbanization are pushing governments to invest in roads, bridges, railways, and
high-rise buildings—creating strong demand for reinforced steel structures.
China remains the largest consumer and
producer of rebar steel, backed by its robust construction and manufacturing
industries. Although growth in China is stabilizing, India is becoming a major
growth engine, fueled by government initiatives like “Smart Cities Mission,”
“Housing for All,” and the “PM Gati Shakti” infrastructure plan. These programs
focus on affordable housing, logistics development, and modern urban
infrastructure, all of which require substantial quantities of rebar steel.
Moreover, rising foreign direct
investments (FDI) in infrastructure and manufacturing across Southeast Asia are
further amplifying demand. Favorable government policies, improved ease of
doing business, and the availability of low-cost labor attract multinational
construction and engineering firms to set up operations in this region.
The presence of major steel producers,
ongoing capacity expansions, and growing public-private partnerships also
support the region’s fast-paced market expansion. With increasing construction
activities and economic development, Asia Pacific is well-positioned to lead
global rebar steel consumption in the coming years, establishing itself as the
most dynamic and promising regional market.
