Asia-Pacific Electrical Steel Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Electrical steel is a special form of steel with magnetic properties such as high permeability and a small hysteresis area (low core loss or moderate energy dissipation each cycle). Electrical steel is a specialty steel created by modifying the magnetic characteristics of regular steel to provide high permeability and minimal core loss in electrical components. It is used to make a variety of devices, including the core of generators, power transformers, and inductors.

Asia-Pacific Electrical Steel Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Growth and expansion bolstered by developing economies

The burgeoning urban population, supporting government policies promoting electrical steel, and increased consumer appliance sales are driving the market in China. Furthermore, vigorous government actions supporting electrified steel are likely to generate massive growth potential. The Japanese market is primarily driven by expanding demand from the power industry, increased consumer electronics output, and rising demand for electric vehicles due to the need for clean energy transportation. Rising demand from the power sector, government investments in electric steels, and expanding R&D initiatives for the development of technologies for CRGO electrical steel sheets and other steel products are driving the Indian market.

• Growing installation of transformers

The increasing growth of the worldwide power industry is expected to enhance demand for transformers, supporting market growth. The demand for grain-oriented electrical steel is quickly expanding due to its capacity to transmit electricity over long distances with little energy losses and great power efficiency. Furthermore, electrical steel improves efficiency and reduces losses in a variety of applications. Increased investment in infrastructure development is also propelling the worldwide market forward.

Opportunities

• Rising demand for electric vehicles

The key opportunity of the electrical steel market is the growing demand for electric vehicles in the automotive industry. A hybrid electric vehicle's traction motor combines electric steel for high-frequency transformers and high-speed electric motors. Furthermore, because steel sheets are good at transmitting magnetic energy and are widely used as the iron core materials for motors, they are an important component in determining the performance of motors.

Restraints/Challenges

• Fluctuations in raw material prices

The steel industry is strongly reliant on raw material supply for the fabrication and processing of steel products. Iron ore, coal, industrial gases, and ferroalloys are all key raw materials in the production of steel. Steel production and processing can run smoothly provided raw materials are reasonably priced. Raw material prices, on the other hand, are highly volatile. Raw material price increases have an impact on steel manufacturing costs, resulting in higher pricing for finished steel products such as grain-oriented and non-grain-oriented electrical steel. As a result, fluctuating raw material prices act as a significant impediment to the expansion of the electrical steel industry.
