Press Release

India Hot Rolled & Cold Rolled Steel Market is Expected to Register a 7.77% CAGR Through 2030

Infrastructure Development & Urbanization and Growth in the Automotive Industry are likely to propel the market during the forecast period.


According to TechSci Research report, “India Hot Rolled & Cold Rolled Steel Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, India Hot Rolled & Cold Rolled Steel Market was valued at USD 171.11 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 270.49 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.77% during the forecast period.

The rapid pace of infrastructure development and urbanization in India is one of the primary drivers for the growth of the Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Steel market. With the government’s focus on "Smart Cities," "Housing for All," and major projects such as the construction of highways, railways, and airports, the demand for steel, especially Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Steel, has witnessed a significant rise.

Hot Rolled Steel is commonly used in infrastructure projects due to its ability to be molded into large structural sections like beams, girders, and plates. This steel's strength and durability make it ideal for building bridges, roads, and railway tracks. Hot Rolled Steel's affordability also makes it a preferred choice for large-scale infrastructure projects, especially in developing nations like India where cost-efficiency is crucial for large government-funded projects.

On the other hand, Cold Rolled Steel is often required for more precise and aesthetically refined applications such as in the manufacturing of doors, windows, and panels for buildings. The quality finish and smooth texture provided by Cold Rolled Steel make it suitable for architectural structures and for use in residential and commercial buildings. Additionally, as urbanization leads to increased demand for appliances, automobiles, and consumer goods, Cold Rolled Steel is also widely used in the production of these items due to its enhanced surface finish and strength.

The Indian government’s initiatives, like the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), which plans to invest significant funds into building new infrastructure by 2024, have greatly contributed to the growing demand for both types of steel. Moreover, as cities expand and require better urban planning, the demand for durable materials such as steel continues to rise, driving the demand for Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Steel products in the market.

Based on Application, Construction held the largest market share in 2024.  The construction sector is a dominant driver of the India Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Steel market due to the country's rapid urbanization, population growth, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Steel is an essential material in the construction industry because of its strength, durability, and flexibility, making it a preferred choice for building infrastructure such as highways, bridges, residential buildings, and industrial facilities.

Hot Rolled Steel plays a significant role in the construction sector due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to be produced in large sections, such as beams, columns, plates, and structural shapes. These properties make it ideal for large-scale infrastructure projects like bridges, flyovers, and airports, where strength and structural integrity are crucial. Additionally, its lower production cost and ability to handle heavy loads make it the material of choice for projects involving heavy-duty construction like commercial buildings and warehouses.

Cold Rolled Steel is also crucial in construction, particularly in applications that require a smoother, more precise finish. It is used in roofing, wall panels, and decorative elements of both residential and commercial buildings. Cold Rolled Steel is valued for its smooth finish, higher tensile strength, and precise dimensions, making it essential for projects where aesthetics, durability, and exact measurements are critical.

The Indian government's focus on infrastructure development, such as the "Smart Cities" initiative and the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), has further accelerated demand for steel in construction. These projects involve significant investments in residential housing, urban infrastructure, and transportation, all of which require substantial quantities of steel. Additionally, the rising middle class, urban migration, and increasing demand for both affordable and luxury housing contribute to the growing demand for both Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Steel in the construction sector. As India continues its infrastructure boom, the construction industry will remain the leading consumer of steel, ensuring its dominance in the steel market.

Based on region, North India is the fastest-growing region in the India Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Steel market due to several key factors driving both demand and production in the region. Rapid infrastructure development in states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan is a major contributor. With the government’s focus on urbanization and building smart cities, North India is witnessing significant investments in construction projects, including roads, bridges, industrial parks, and residential developments. Hot Rolled Steel, in particular, is heavily used in these large-scale infrastructure projects due to its affordability and suitability for structural applications.

The automotive and manufacturing sectors in North India are growing rapidly, especially in states like Haryana, which is home to a major automotive manufacturing hub with companies like Maruti Suzuki and Hero MotoCorp. The demand for Cold Rolled Steel is increasing in this sector as it is used in automotive body panels, frames, and precision parts. The region’s manufacturing strength is driving the need for higher quality steel products to meet both domestic and international standards. Additionally, North India has access to several key raw material sources, such as iron ore and coal, especially in states like Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. This reduces the dependency on imports and makes steel production more cost-effective in the region, further fueling growth.

The strategic location of North India with strong transportation infrastructure, including highways, railways, and ports, also facilitates the smooth movement of steel products to both domestic and international markets. Furthermore, the region's proximity to major markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia enhances export opportunities, providing an additional revenue stream for steel producers.
