Electrical Steel Market Expected to Reach $21.0 Billion by 2027

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research titled, “Electrical Steel Market by Type and Application: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020–2027,” the global electrical steel market was valued at $15.0 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $21.0 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2020 to 2027.

Electrical steel is also known as silicon electrical steel, lamination steel, or transformer steel. It is produced by using iron that comprises varying amounts of silicon. The silicon ranges up to 6.5%. Electrical steel decreases the dissipation of heat.

The electrical steel market is driven, owing to rise in demand for efficient power transformers. This is attributed to rise in integration of renewable to the grid. In addition, industrial growth in countries such as India and Brazil is boosting the energy demand, which consequently boosts the adoption of electrical steel. However, volatile price of raw materials is hindering the electrical steel market growth. On the contrary, upcoming regulations and government support for electric vehicles in countries such as India, Australia, and others will create lucrative opportunities for electrical steel manufacturers.

The electrical steel market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Based on type, the market is categorized into grain oriented electrical steel and non-grain oriented electrical steel.

Various application of electrical steel studied in the report are transformers, motors, generators, and others. On the basis of region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). The electrical steel market share is analyzed across all segments and regions.

Based on type, the grain oriented electrical steel segment is expected to grow at a fastest growth rate in terms of revenue during the forecast period. The increase in demand for electrical transformers is consequently boosting the adoption of grain-oriented electrical steel.Factors contributing towardthe growth of electrical transformers are up-gradation of existing grid network, high demand and initiatives for smart grid development, and others.

Based on application, the transformer has garnered highest market share in 2019 in terms of volume and revenue. This is attributed to factors such as a development of renewable in developing countries, high replacement rates of equipment, increase in energy demand from emerging economies, and others.

Based on region, Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% in terms of revenue. This is attributed topresence of key players in the region, rise in energy demand owing to industrialization, increase in electric vehicle trends, and others.
