Market growth is driven by rising investments in the real estate sector, especially for the non-residential segment. This leads end-users to spend increasingly on pipes & fittings, HVAC system, cookware’s, plates, other products, such as staircase to enhance aesthetic appeal of their homes.
With growing demand patterns, companies such as Jindal Steel and Daido Steel are increasing their production capacities. Moreover, the industry is largely characterized by dominance of regional players, leading within their respective regional markets.
Governments of different countries across the world are providing subsidies to consumers to renovate or construct new houses. For instance, in November 2020, government of Italy introduced a policy, Superbonus. According to this policy, the Italy’s federal government is paying 110% of the building cost to make existing residences eco-friendly. The initiative has a maximum cap of approximately USD 110.41 thousand (EUR 100 thousand) per home and the entire project cost the government approximately USD 9.94 billion (EUR 9 billion) in 2021.
In addition, stainless steel manufacturers are largely supported by their local governments in the form of subsidies, specialized policies for clearances, and other economic incentives, as steel manufacturing acts as a strategic tool for nation building. For example, in July 2023, Govt. of India’s Union Ministry of Steel has announced a new stainless steel policy with an aim to increase the country's domestic capacity to 30 million tons per year from the current levels of 6.6 million tons.

The 300 series segment held the largest share of over 59.0% in 2023. Grade 303 in the series is used almost entirely for every part requiring polishing, grinding, and machining where good corrosion resistance is also compulsory. Its non-galling and non-seizing properties make it ideal for moving parts. Being an austenitic steel, it is very useful where low magnetic permeability is preferred. It has fairly good forming properties used for aircraft parts, as well as gears, valve trim, shafts, valves, and all types of screw machine products. It is also required for architectural purposes. Grade 304 in 300 series is specifically suited for all kinds of dairy equipment including containers, sterilizers, milking machines, homogenizers, and storage & hauling tanks, including railroad cars, milk trucks, valves, and piping.
This 18-8 alloy is similarly operative in the brewing business where it is used in storage & railway cars, fermentation vats, yeast pans, and pipelines. Duplex stainless steel market segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of 8.5% from 2024 to 2030, in terms of stainless steel market value. Superior product properties, such as high strength, low weight, and high corrosion resistance, particularly stress corrosion cracking, is anticipated to drive product demand over forecast period. The product finds applications in the pharma, oil & gas, water desalination, and chemical & petrochemical industries.
Flat products accounted for a revenue share of more than 73% in 2023 and is likely to dominate the market over the forecast period. Flat products mainly include sheets/coil and plates. SS flat products are widely used in mechanical parts and industrial tools along with construction and structural applications.

Market Segmentation
Construction sector is the largest end-user of stainless-steel products. This industry requires massive amount of stainless steel to enhance the aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance of the structure. The rapidly growing population is projected to fuel the demand for stainless steel in buildings and infrastructure due to increasing urbanization. The advantages that are offered by stainless steel include, formability, weldability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appearance. These make it an important constituent in the construction industry. The high prices of stainless steel substitutes used in the construction industry can lead to increased construction cost. Stainless steel is majorly used in the construction industry for architectural cladding, handrails, drainage & water systems, wall support products, roofing, and structures & fixing.
After construction industry, automotive sector is another major user of stainless steel. The industry is witnessing rapid growth due to easy access to credit facility and increasing necessity among people to own a vehicle. The demand for automobile has seen an upward trend in emerging economies like India and China. Stainless steel is used in the manufacture of automotive components such as car exhaust systems, hose clamps, and steel springs. Aesthetic appearance, corrosion resistance, and tensile strength provided by stainless steel make it an important component in the automobile industry. The exceptional weld ability and formability exhibited by stainless steel make it an important component of lightweight vehicles.
The fact that carbon fibers are replacing stainless steel in automotive industry, is a major restraint for the market. Carbon fibers are being used in the automotive industry due to properties such as lightweight, high strength, and load-bearing capacities. These fibers reduce the weight of a car by almost 30%. The growing importance of lightweight vehicles has made carbon fiber the most desired material. The automation associated with the manufacturing process also makes it a brighter prospect in comparison to stainless steel.

A three-pronged approach was followed for deducing the stainless steel market estimates and forecasts. The process has three steps: information procurement, analysis, and validation. The whole process is cyclical, and steps repeat until the estimates are validated. The three steps are explained in detail below:
Information procurement: Information procurement is one of the most extensive and important stages in our research process, and quality data is critical for accurate analysis. We followed a multi-channel data collection process for stainless steel market to gather the most reliable and current information possible.
Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of stainless steel market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.
Value-Chain-Based Sizing & Forecasting: Supply-side estimates for understanding potential revenue through competitive benchmarking, forecasting, and penetration modeling.
Demand-side estimates for identifying parent and ancillary markets, segment modeling, and heuristic forecasting.
Qualitative Functional Deployment (QFD) Modelling for market share assessment.
Market formulation and validation: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilize different methods of data analysis depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
Market Formulation: This step involves the finalization of market numbers. This step on an internal level is designed to manage outputs from the Data Analysis step.
Data Normalization: The final market estimates and forecasts are then aligned and sent to industry experts, in-panel quality control managers for validation.
This step also entails the finalization of the report scope and data representation pattern.
Validation: The process entails multiple levels of validation. All these steps run in parallel, and the study is forwarded for publishing only if all three levels render validated results.
The stainless steel market was categorized into four segments, namely grade (200 Series, 300 Series, 400 Series, Duplex Series), product (Flat, Long), application (Building & Construction, Automotive & Transportation, Consumer Goods, Mechanical Engineering & Heavy Industries, Electronic Appliances, Food Manufacturing), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Central & South America, and Middle East & Africa).
The stainless steel market was segmented into grade, product, application, and region. The demand at a segment level was deduced using a funnel method. Concepts like the TAM, SAM, SOM, etc., were put into practice to understand the demand. We at GVR deploy three methods to deduce market estimates and determine forecasts. These methods are explained below:
Demand estimation of each product across countries/regions summed up to from the total market.
Variable analysis for demand forecast.
Demand estimation via analyzing paid database, and company financials either via annual reports or paid database.
Primary interviews for data revalidation and insight collection.
