Steel Structure Market Report 2024

This Steel Structure market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The steel structure market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $112.23 billion in 2023 to $118.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including a rising demand for durable construction materials, increased infrastructure development, higher investment in industrial and commercial construction, expansion of the real estate sector, and a growing preference for prefabricated construction methods.

The steel structure market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $145.7 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The projected growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for high-strength, lightweight materials, a rise in commercial construction projects, growing use of steel in residential buildings, a heightened need for earthquake-resistant structures, and a growing preference for pre-engineered steel buildings. Key trends expected in this period include the adoption of advanced steel alloys, the development of modular steel structures, advancements in steel recycling technologies, integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM), and improvements in high-strength steel.

The growth in investments in residential buildings is anticipated to drive the expansion of the steel structure market. Residential buildings, which include homes, flats, and condominiums, are constructed primarily for people to live in. The rise in investment for residential construction is fueled by increasing housing demand due to population growth, urbanization, and low interest rates. Steel structures offer improved strength, durability, and design flexibility, which support innovative architectural designs and provide enhanced safety against natural disasters. For example, in March 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that there were 30,992 new private house dwellings, marking a 3.7% increase from December 2023 and a 14.6% rise from March 2023. Additionally, completions of other new private residential buildings grew to 14,844 dwellings, up 5.6% compared to December 2023. Thus, the increased investment in residential buildings is fueling the steel structure market.

Key players in the steel structure market are developing advanced products with new technologies, such as steel building solutions technology, to enhance building efficiency, shorten construction time, and improve structural integrity. These technologies improve steel structures by offering advanced design, precision engineering, and efficient construction methods, which enhance structural integrity, reduce construction time, and optimize material usage. For example, in August 2022, APL Apollo, an India-based manufacturer of structural steel tubes and pipes, introduced next-generation steel building solutions featuring high-strength welded steel tubes (HSS) for use in towers, bridges, cranes, highway guardrails, and sign supports. These tubes provide exceptional strength and aesthetic appeal, with advancements such as pre-fabrication and precise engineering that streamline construction, reduce project durations, and lower costs.

In April 2024, Walters Group, a Canada-based steel construction company, acquired Dave Steel Company Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Walters Group's service capabilities, expand its market presence, and enhance operational efficiencies, thereby increasing competitiveness in the steel construction sector. Dave Steel Company Inc., a US-based firm, specializes in structural steel fabrication and erection services for industrial, institutional, and commercial projects.

A steel structure is a framework primarily composed of steel elements such as beams, columns, and trusses, designed to support loads and ensure stability in construction projects such as buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities. Steel structures are renowned for their strength, durability, and resilience to various environmental conditions.

The main types of steel structures include carbon steel structures, alloy steel structures, special steel structures, and others. Carbon steel structures are built mainly from carbon steel, an alloy of iron and carbon. The range of products includes angles, channels, and rounds, and these structures are utilized in various applications, including industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential projects.
