Carbon Steel Market by Type (Low-Carbon Steel, High-Carbon Steel), Process (BOP, EAF Process), Product (Flat Carbon Steel, Long Carbon Steel), Application (Building & Construction, Manufacturing), and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031.
The research report titled 'Carbon Steel Market by Type (Low-Carbon Steel, High-Carbon Steel), Process (BOP, EAF Process), Product (Flat Carbon Steel, Long Carbon Steel), Application (Building & Construction, Manufacturing), and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031', provides an in-depth analysis of carbon steel market in five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031.
The carbon steel market is expected to reach $1,331.2 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2024 to 2031.
This market's growth is driven by the rising demand for carbon steel due to its superior stability and enhanced wear resistance. Additionally, the increasing application of carbon steel materials in the building and construction sectors further contributes to this growth. However, the raw material price fluctuation restraints market growth. The surging demand for carbon steel in the oil & gas industry for pipelines and storage tanks is expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. On the other hand, the availability of alternative materials such as aluminum, composites, and stainless steel presents a significant challenge impacting market growth. Furthermore, a notable recent development in the market is the growing implementation of robotics and automation in carbon steel processing.
The carbon steel market is segmented by type (low-carbon steel (>0.30%), medium-carbon steel (0.30%- 0.60%), and high-carbon steel (<0.60%)), process (basic oxygen process (BOP) and electric arc furnace process (EAF)), product (flat carbon steel, long carbon steel, and tubular carbon steel), application (building & construction, automotive, oil & gas, shipbuilding, locomotive & transportation, manufacturing, consumer electronics, aerospace & defense, agriculture, and other applications). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyses the market at the regional and country levels.
Based on type, the carbon steel market is segmented into low-carbon steel (>0.30%), medium-carbon steel (0.30%- 0.60%), and high-carbon steel (<0.60%). In 2024, the low-carbon steel (>0.30%) segment is expected to account for the largest share of 81.0% of the market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising adoption of low-carbon steel for applications that involve shaping, bending, and welding. Its excellent ductility enables it to be formed into various shapes while maintaining strength, and the increased use of low-carbon steel reduces the likelihood of cracking or breaking. However, the high-carbon steel (<0.60%) segment is poised to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on process, the carbon steel market is segmented into the basic oxygen process (BOP) and electric arc furnace process (EAF). In 2024, the basic oxygen process (BOP) segment is expected to account for the largest share of 62.0% of the market. The large market share of this segment is driven by the increasing utilization of the Basic Oxygen Process (BOP) to produce large quantities of carbon steel more efficiently than other methods. BOP is capable of manufacturing a range of carbon steels, from low to high carbon content. In addition, the high level of automation in BOP facilities reduces the risk of accidents and enhances overall worker safety. However, the electric arc furnace process (EAF) segment is poised to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on product, the carbon steel market is segmented into flat carbon steel, long carbon steel, and tubular carbon steel. In 2024, the flat carbon steel segment is expected to account for the largest share of 48.0% of the market. The large market share of this segment is driven by the increasing adoption of flat carbon steel, which is valued for its high strength and durability. Its versatility in fabrication, welding, and molding into various shapes and sizes further supports its demand. Additionally, the rising need for flat carbon steel in construction and manufacturing for structural applications-such as support beams, braces, and framing-contributes to this growth. However, the tubular carbon steel segment is poised to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on application, the carbon steel market is segmented into building & construction, automotive, oil & gas, shipbuilding, locomotive & transportation, manufacturing, consumer electronics, aerospace & defense, agriculture, and other applications. In 2024, the building & construction segment is expected to account for the largest share of 43.0% of the market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising use of carbon steel for structural components and load-bearing elements in buildings. Its low weight and ease of handling and installation, compared to concrete and other materials, further enhance its appeal. Additionally, carbon steel's durability and fatigue resistance make it ideal for long-term use in construction projects. However, the manufacturing segment is poised to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on geography, the carbon steel market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of over 64.0% of the market. The large market share of the region is driven by the robust growth of the automotive and shipbuilding industries, alongside the rising adoption of carbon steel products in response to increasing environmental concerns and regulations promoting sustainable alternatives. Additionally, rapid urbanization in countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia is fueling demand for carbon steel in the construction of buildings, bridges, and urban infrastructure. Moreover, Asia-Pacific is poised to register the highest CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.
The key players operating in the carbon steel market are Tata Steel Limited (India), JFE Steel Corporation (A Subsidiary of JFE Holdings, Inc.) (Japan), JSW STEEL LIMITED (India), POSCO HOLDINGS INC. (South Korea), United States Steel Corporation (U.S.), Jiangsu Shagang Group Company Limited (China), Ansteel Group Corporation Limited (China), Nippon Steel Corporation (Japan), HBIS Group Co., Ltd.
