Coated Steel Market Key Futuristic Trends and Opportunities 2030

Information is out of date

Coated Steel Market: Highlights

• Steel surface coated with an additional layer of organic or metallic materials to protect it from rusting is called coated steel. Usually, a coating layer is added to flat steel when it is in a coil form.
• Low carbon steel sheets tend to corrode when exposed to moisture and air. Corrosion of these sheet takes place in many forms. It can be uniform, spreading over the entire exposed surface of a metal sheet; or localized, occurring where special conditions create a corrosive environment. Coatings protect steel sheet from a corrosive attack by acting as a barrier to exclude air, water, and other corrosion promoters from contact with the steel substrate. Besides barrier protection, coatings have the ability to react at scratches and other damages.
• Coated steel is used in building & construction, appliances, and other industries

Key Drivers of Coated Steel Market

• Increase in demand for coated steel in the building & construction industry is boosting the global market. Construction activities have increased across the globe. According to Statistics Bureau Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, the country spent US$ 30,380 Bn on building & construction in 2017; of this, US$ 16,570 Bn was spent on residential buildings and US$ 13,810 Bn on non-residential buildings. Thus, growth in the construction industry is expected to propel the demand for coated steel in the near future.
• The U.S. also invests significantly in construction activities. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Government spent approximately US$ 1,303,469 Mn in overall construction activities in 2019.
