Electrical steel Market Definition
Electrical steel is a soft magnetic material with advanced electrical properties used in several applications such as small relays, generators, electric motors, solenoids, among others. It is also known as lamination steel or transformer steel or silicon steel. Electrical steels are generally used soft magnetic material for power applications. Electrical steel consists of non-oriented electrical steels as well as grain-oriented electrical steels. These materials are used to transmit, generate, and deliver electrical energy and electrical equipment.
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
- High consumption rate of electrical steel in transformers and motors
The growing global automobile production is a major factor which is driving the growth of the global electrical steel market. The use of electrical steel in automobiles improves fuel efficiency, which drives the consumption of electrical steel in the automotive industry. The growing demand for hybrid and electric is anticipated to further increase the growth of the electrical steel market during the forecast period. Rising consumption of electricity and the growing demand for industrial development are the major drivers expected to enhance the demand for transformers.
- Rise in the number of power generation and transmission projects
Development can be attributed to the upsurge of power generation and transmission projects across the world. The demand for electrical steel has augmented surprisingly and consistently for various use across end-use industries.
- Rise of the demand in automobile industry
Automobiles are made of a range of materials, including magnesium, copper, polymers, steel, aluminium, and carbon fibres. These are the primary materials used in the production of automobiles, components, and parts. Electrical steel's high electrical resistivity, high permeability, low magnetostriction, and low hysteresis loss make it a popular material for automotive manufacture.
- Increase in the demand in manufacturing sector
Manufacturing sector is estimated to be the largest sector in the electrical steel market during the forecast period. This sector's growth is largely attributed to the growth of economies across the world, which is directly related to the growth of the manufacturing sector. Furthermore, the increasing industrialization in developed and developing markets is also expected to further drive the market for electrical steel.
Opportunities
- Upcoming regulations and government support
Governmental bodies emphasize on the decrease of carbon emissions from automobiles. They support the use of electrical steel not only for electric vehicles but also for heavy construction equipment and passenger vehicles and conduct research and development (R&D) on new materials.
- Usage of pre-engineered structures
Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) use in the construction of metro stations, industrial buildings and warehouses which has opened up major opportunities for increase of electrical steel usage globally
Restraints/ Challenges
There are some safety concerns that manufacturers have to address before using electrical steel. Safety rules have enhanced the use advanced electrical steel into motors, transformers, and insulators, thus posing a challenge for the electrical steel market. Temperature changes reduce the strength and magnetic characteristics, and fluctuations in raw material pricing have also impacted market expansion. As a result, manufacturers are encountering numerous issues in the manufacturing of electrical steel for various purposes and are unable to produce electrical steel in accordance with manufacturer demand. The high cost of raw materials limits the worldwide electrical steel market's expansion.
