By Type
Grain Oriented Electrical Steel is projected as the most lucrative segment.
Electrical steel market, by type
By type, the grain oriented electrical steel segment is expected to grow at the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. Factors contributing toward the growth of electrical transformers are up-gradation of existing grid network, high demand and initiatives for smart grid development, and others. The increase in demand for electrical transformers will consequently boost the adoption of grain oriented electrical steel. In addition, non-grain oriented electrical steel garnered 75.9% in 2019 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5%, in terms of volume during the forecast period. The rising electric vehicle trend is up-surging the demand for non-grain oriented electrical steel. As non-oriented electrical steels helps automotive manufacturers build more efficient hybrid electric vehicles for enhanced driving range and exceptional performance.
By Application
Motors is projected as the most lucrative segment.
Electrical steel market, by application
By application, the motor segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest growth rate during the projection period. It is expected to grow at a growth rate of 5.3% during the forecast period, in terms of volume. The demand for electric motors is expected to increase in the coming years, owing to rise in penetration of electric vehicles all round the world. This is expected to create lucrative opportunities for electrical steel manufacturers. North America and Europe have more electric vehicles on road as compared to developing economies. This is attributed to supporting policies for electric vehicles from governments.
By Region
Asia-Pacific holds a dominant position in 2019 and would continue to maintain the lead over the forecast period.
Electrical steel market, by region
Region wise, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in terms of volume as well as revenue. This is attributed to factors such as presence of largest market for power transformers, owing to presence of countries such as China, India, and Indonesia. China is one of the largest manufacturers of power transformers. In addition, Asia-Pacific is one of the largest markets for wind generator. Moreover, India is also expected to grow at considerable rate this is attributed to factors such as growing renewable energy sector, rising energy demand owing to surge in population and urbanization, and other.
