India Light Gauge Steel Framing Market To Reach $3.03 Billion By 2030

India Light Gauge Steel Framing Market Growth & Trends

The India light gauge steel framing market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.03 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.

Several housing schemes implemented by the Indian government and state governments, such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) (Urban), Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana, Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority Lottery Scheme, and Delhi Development Authority Housing Scheme, are expected to support the market’s growth over the forecast years. In addition, various innovations in terms of technology have led to the development of products with improved strength, stability, and safety.

Light gauge steel framing is one of the pivotal structural materials and has been among the essential constructional materials. Advantages such as lightweight, better stability, and shorter completion time have been instrumental in increasing the demand for light gauge steel framing. Moreover, its applicability in various construction essentials has been a major driving factor for the growth in its demand over the last few years. The consistent growth in the number of commercial, residential, and industrial construction projects in India and ever-shrinking completion timelines are anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

Light gauge steel framing is widely used for numerous applications across residential, commercial, and industrial buildings owing to their inherent advantages, such as stability, flexibility, and sustainability. The product is progressively used in growing end-use industries, specifically in India, where rising industrialization and consumer income levels drive innovation in this sector. Light gauge steel frame structures cater precisely to the requirements of the growing construction sector owing to several advantages such as off-site fabrication, easy erection procedures, and reduced time for project completion.

Moreover, with advancements in technology, light gauge steel frames can be used for buildings with complex and irregular shapes without compromising the stability of the building. Several advantages over conventional construction materials such as wood and concrete are expected to drive the demand for the India light gauge steel frame market over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought extensive disruption to the construction sector across the globe. The factors such as unavailability of labor, restrictions on transportation, and the temporary shutdown of construction activities and manufacturing facilities impacted the ongoing pipeline projects. However, light gauge steel framing was utilized to build emergency infrastructure for COVID-19 patients, such as temporary hospitals, vaccination centers, and supportive housing.
