Galvanized Steel Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The economic growth in China and India is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as volatility in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Galvanized Steel Market Driver
The economic growth in China and India is the key factor driving global galvanized steel market growth. Steel is of strategic importance to any nation. China and India are among the largest crude steel producers in the world, and India is expected to become the second-largest producer of crude steel during the forecast period. The market in China has been mainly driven by the speedy transformation of its economy and infrastructure. The boom in the infrastructure and manufacturing industry is the main factor propelling the demand for steel in the country. India is among one of the largest and fastest-growing markets for steel products worldwide due to the country's increasing construction activities.
The rapid infrastructural development in China and India are the major drivers for steel products. The per capita consumption of steel is likely to increase due to the rising infrastructure and construction projects for roads, highways, and railways. The easy availability of raw materials and skilled and cost-effective labor is expected to drive the steel market in APAC. Such high economic and infrastructural growth in both China and India and their infrastructural development are likely to drive the demand for steel during the forecast period
Significant Galvanized Steel Market Trend
The rising applications of steel pipes in the oil and gas industry are the primary trend in the global galvanized steel market. Steel pipes are widely used in the oil and gas industry for various applications, such as exploration, refining, and transportation. The pipes used in the oil and gas industry should be durable and thermally stable. These pipes work under harsh environmental and chemical conditions. Steel pipes are preferred due to their excellent stress crack resistance against oil and gas. Other superior properties, such as low permeation to hydrocarbon and methane, corrosion, and impact resistance, make them favored in the oil and gas industry. The pipes used in the oil and gas industry should be mechanically strong and tough.
Moreover, steel pipes exhibit all these properties and are suitable for the applications of the oil and gas industry. Steel pipes are primarily used in deep-water drilling and exploration processes to prevent damage caused by corrosion and moisture. In 2015, the Gas Authority of India Limited proposed drilling operations for oil and gas exploration in Cambay Basin, Gujarat. The government of India is working on developing the gas pipeline infrastructure in the country for the distribution of natural cooking gas.
Major Galvanized Steel Market Challenge
The volatility in raw material prices is a major challenge to the global galvanized steel market growth. The volatility in raw material prices is one of the main challenges for the market. The manufacturing of steel depends on various commodities, metals, and industrial raw materials like iron ore, steel, and zinc. The prices of commodities and metals are directly related to global economic performance and price elasticity. Price volatility brings uncertainty to the market and influences the profit margins of the value chain stakeholders.
The fluctuations in raw material prices will also squeeze manufacturers' profit margins during the forecast period, posing a hurdle to their growth. The prices of steel are unstable due to the volatile raw material prices along with excess steel production. The decline in oil prices also influences steel prices. Steelmakers find it difficult to predict raw material prices due to constant price fluctuations. Therefore, high volatility in the cost of raw materials is one of the major challenges for the market during the forecast period.

What is the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Galvanized Steel Market?
The market share growth by the sheets and strips segment will be significant during the forecast period. Steel strips and sheets are flat-rolled steel products mainly produced from the hot-rolled strip using pickling. Subsequently, cold rolling is used to reduce the thickness of strips to the required size. These strips are later galvanized by using hot-dip galvanization or other galvanizing techniques. Steel sheets and strips are widely used for construction and structural applications, marine and offshore instruments, automotive, electrical appliances, renewable energy, thermal, hydro, and atomic power stations, military, and pressure valves. These factors will facilitate market growth during the forecast period.
