Americas Special Bar Quality Steel Market Drivers and Opportunities
Surging Construction Activities
In the US, the construction sector is expanding due to the surging construction of new factories and industrial facilities, rising investments in commercial construction projects, and increasing government initiatives. The industry is among the largest contributors to the US economy and creates US$ 1.4 trillion worth of structures each year. According to the US Census Bureau, in January and February 2022, spending on building and construction projects in the public and private sectors amounted to US$ 237.8 billion, reporting a growth of 10.4% compared to the same period in 2021. As per a report by the USA Facts Institute released in 2022, the federal government passed the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act in 2021, allocating US$ 550 billion in new federal infrastructure, including repairing or rebuilding bridges, roads, rail, and airports for five years. Special bar-quality steel is utilized in construction projects that require high structural integrity and load-bearing capacity. It is used in bridge components, high-rise building frameworks, and other infrastructure projects where safety and durability are crucial. Thus, the growing construction sector fuels the demand for construction products, including special bar-quality steel.
Rising Adoption of Renewable Energy
In the renewable energy sector, special bar-quality steel is used in wind turbine components, hydroelectric power plants, and solar energy structures. In the wind energy sector, steel is used in tubular towers, foundations, and transition pieces. It provides the necessary strength and durability to withstand the challenging conditions in wind farms. Wind power is the largest source of renewable energy in the US, generating nearly half of the total energy. The Wind Vision Report projects the availability of more than 600,000 jobs in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and support services by 2050. According to data published by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) in its Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory, the annual wind turbine capacity additions in the US increased from 13.2 gigawatts (GW) in 2012 to 14.2 (GW) in 2020, surpassing the previous record. Brazil's success in reaching such a high share of renewables is due to its robust hydroelectric base and the expansion of solar and wind power. The booming renewable energy sector propels the adoption of special bar quality steel, which is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
