Stainless Steel Industry Overview
The global stainless steel market size was valued at USD 104.23 billion in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% from 2022 to 2030.
The private and public investments in infrastructure, as well as residential housing, is likely to provide a boost to the stainless steel demand. Stainless steel (SS) is an important material in industrial applications such as building & construction, infrastructure, railways, automotive & transportation, and process industries. SS has a unique edge over carbon steel as it has a combination of properties such as pliability, strength, corrosion resistance, aesthetic properties, low maintenance cost, and average product life cycle. These properties along with increasing penetration in numerous applications are anticipated to drive the market growth.

The U.S. stainless steel market is expected to be driven by the demand for mechanical, chemical, and energy applications. These applications are diversified such as tubular in the oil industry; heat exchangers, heat vessels, & boilers in power plants; furnace plants; and components in processing machinery of pulp & paper, chemicals, and food & beverage industries.
Building & construction is one of the important applications of stainless steel. The segment accounted for a volume share of 11.3% of overall U.S. demand. For structural purpose, SS products are used in beams, columns, and general architectural applications. It is used in railings, roofing, lifts, staircases, swimming pool shades, canopies, and atriums among others.
In November, the U.S. government introduced USD 2 trillion plan for infrastructure. It includes heavy fund allocation for repair and renovation of bridges, highways, EV charging facilities, airports, water infrastructure, communication networks, high-speed Internet, clean energy & environment, and carbon reduction. This plan is likely to assist the SS demand for structural applications in infrastructure and construction.
