Global steel demand is projected to grow by 3.2% in 2025, driven by renewed infrastructure investments in emerging economies and post-pandemic recovery in developed markets. Countries like India, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia are accelerating large-scale projects, including high-speed rail networks and renewable energy plants, boosting demand for high-strength steel. Meanwhile, the EU’s Green Deal initiatives are creating opportunities for eco-friendly steel products. Analysts note that while China’s domestic demand remains steady, its exports are shifting toward high-value-added sectors to avoid trade frictions.
