Report Summary
A Spike in Automobile Sales Creates Tailwinds
There has been a steady increase in the demand for automobiles around the world owing to the surge in global population levels. Moreover, an increase in disposable incomes has allowed most individuals to be able to spend more on goods or services that were once considered a luxury. Additionally, due to higher levels of globalization, a growing number of individuals now have greater access to more products at varying price points. In recent years, mounting sales of hybrid and fully electric vehicles, as well as a continual spike in the demand for these vehicles due to environmental concerns or personal preferences, are all key factors that are expected to lead to a higher demand from the automotive sector, which is a major end user of hot dip galvanized steel. This is expected to have a profound influence on the growth of the hot dip galvanized steel market over the forecast period.
Construction Industry’s Growth Keeps Uptake of Hot Dip Galvanized Steel Afloat
The need for more infrastructure as well as the revamping or renovation of existing buildings or structures continues to be an ongoing concern for various nations around the world. Like the automotive industry, and for the same reasons, the further expansion of the construction sector is slated to have an immense impact on the global hot dip galvanized steel market. This can also be attributed to the many favorable factors that galvanized steel products offer such as resistance to corrosion, high reliability, and temperature resistance, as well as better availability. These factors are also expected to boost projected revenues for the various players engaged in the hot dip galvanized steel industry.
Price Volatility, and Availability of Equivalent Substitutes Pose an Impediment
Given the nature and availability of raw materials necessary to produce galvanized steel, there is a certain volatility in the pricing of these products. This is a major factor that could hinder further market growth for the global hot dip galvanized steel market. Moreover, the presence of various substitutes around the world is another element that may negatively affect the growth trajectory of the global hot dip galvanized steel industry.
COVID-19 Impact
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the imposing of restrictions by respective governments on the movement of people and goods, as well as the hampered supply of necessary raw materials, among other operational hurdles. This led to a significant decline in generated revenues for many industries and this was no different for the hot dip galvanized steel market. However, as restrictions were gradually relaxed, post the 3rd and 4th waves, the hot dip galvanized steel industry regressed to its pre-COVID-19 state of operations.
Asia Pacific Will Emerge Lucrative Despite North America’s Dominance
Owing to the vast number of hot dip galvanizing plants and industry players in this region, particularly in the US, North America is expected to account for the majority share of the global hot dip galvanized steel market. Moreover, in recent years, there has been a steady increase in the demand for hot dip galvanized steel products here. Nonetheless, the Asia Pacific is slated to index a substantially high CAGR over the forecast timeline. This can be chalked up to several factors such as a greater demand for products and services from the power industry, a surge in domestic production, as well as the availability of necessary raw materials needed to manufacture hot dip galvanized steel. This trend is expected to continue over this projected period.
