Press Release

Structural Steel Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% through 2030F

The global Structural Steel Market is expected to be led by North America, driven by Sustainability and Green Construction and Real Estate Growth during the forecast period 2026-2030F


According to TechSci Research report, “Structural Steel Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F, The Global Structural Steel Market was valued at USD 126.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 177.6 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.7% through 2030. As urbanization continues to accelerate, governments and private entities are focusing on enhancing infrastructure to accommodate growing populations, leading to higher demand for robust and durable building materials like structural steel. These modernization efforts include not only residential and commercial buildings but also large-scale public infrastructure such as bridges, roads, and transportation systems.

Additionally, the demand for steel in the energy sector, particularly for wind, solar, and hydroelectric power plants, is on the rise. Structural steel plays a pivotal role in the construction of renewable energy plants, especially wind farms and solar panel installations, due to its strength and versatility. With the global shift towards cleaner energy sources and the push for sustainability, structural steel is integral to the infrastructure needed to support these renewable energy projects. Another driver is the rise of prefabricated and modular construction, which uses pre-engineered steel components that are assembled on-site. This construction method is gaining popularity due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to reduce construction time. As this trend continues to grow, the demand for structural steel in prefabricated systems is expected to increase, further fueling the market. These factors collectively drive the expansion of the global structural steel market.

Based on Product, Channels segment dominated the Structural Steel Market in 2024 and maintain its leadership throughout the forecast period, largely due to its broad applications across various industries and construction projects. Channels, typically in the form of U-shaped steel beams, are essential components used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. Their versatility, strength, and ease of installation have made them a preferred choice for engineers and builders worldwide. As the demand for infrastructure development continues to rise, the need for channel steel, due to its structural integrity and cost-effectiveness, has grown significantly, cementing its dominance in the market.

One of the primary reasons for the Channels segment's market dominance is its integral role in both commercial and residential construction. Steel channels are used in a wide variety of structural applications, including beams, frames, and supports, and are essential in providing stability and load-bearing capacity. These applications span across high-rise buildings, industrial facilities, and transportation infrastructure, all of which require materials that can withstand heavy loads, extreme weather conditions, and long-term wear and tear. As urbanization accelerates, particularly in developing regions, the demand for durable and efficient materials like steel channels has surged.

Another factor contributing to the dominance of the Channels segment is the increasing adoption of pre-engineered and prefabricated building systems, where channels play a critical role. Prefabricated steel structures, often used in commercial and industrial buildings, rely heavily on channel steel due to its ease of handling, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with mass production techniques. Moreover, channels are integral to modular construction, which is gaining popularity as a faster and more sustainable construction method.

The growing focus on sustainability also boosts the demand for channel steel. As steel channels are often made from recycled steel, they align with the industry’s push toward more sustainable building materials. The increasing emphasis on green building practices and the use of recycled materials has further solidified the position of the Channels segment in the structural steel market.

Lastly, advancements in manufacturing technologies, such as automation and digital fabrication, have improved the precision and quality of channel steel products, making them even more attractive for large-scale projects. These innovations have contributed to the increased reliability and performance of channels, further driving their demand across global markets. Thus, the Channels segment remains the dominant player in the global structural steel market, benefiting from its multifaceted applications, cost-effectiveness, and role in sustainable construction.

Asia Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region for the Structural Steel Market, driven by factors such as rapid urbanization, infrastructure development, and growing industrialization. Countries like China, India, Japan, and Southeast Asian nations are witnessing significant construction booms, with large-scale residential, commercial, and industrial projects demanding high-quality structural steel. This rapid expansion of urban infrastructure, including highways, bridges, and skyscrapers, is creating a substantial need for steel products, particularly structural steel, which offers strength, durability, and flexibility.

China, as the world’s largest producer and consumer of steel, plays a key role in driving market growth in the region. Additionally, India’s growing economy and rising population are propelling demand for housing, commercial buildings, and transportation infrastructure, contributing to the surge in structural steel use. Southeast Asia, with its increasing focus on modernizing infrastructure, is also experiencing a rise in steel consumption.

Government initiatives aimed at boosting construction and infrastructure projects, such as smart cities and transportation networks, further fuel the demand for structural steel in Asia Pacific. The region is also embracing advanced steel manufacturing technologies, making production more efficient and cost-effective. As industrialization accelerates and infrastructure investment continues, Asia Pacific is poised to maintain its position as the fastest-growing market for structural steel.
