Galvanized Steel Market Analysis
Galvanized steel is the protective zinc coating used for the prevention of rust and corrosion. This process is known as galvanization. Galvanized steel components are used for the construction and repair of steel structures. Galvanized steel exhibits properties such as high durability, enhanced strength & formability of steel, and corrosion resistance. Zinc protects the base metal by acting as a barrier to corrosive elements over a longer period. This versatile nature of galvanized steel makes it applicable in agricultural, solar, constructions, and other sectors.
COVID-19 impact analysis
- The global market for galvanized steel is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The suspension of ongoing activities in automotive industry is anticipated to limit the demand for galvanized steel, globally.
- As more than 30% of the factories are on halt in a pandemic situation, the growth of the global market is expected to decline, as home appliances and construction segment are the largest consumers of galvanized steel.
- Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
- Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply will further hamper the production rate of galvanized steel, thus negatively impacting the market growth.
