Flat steel is a form of steel that is made by rolling steel slabs. It is majorly used in the production of plates, sheets, structural beams, and strips, as they are widely used in building & infrastructure, transportation, and electrical appliance industries due to their rare functional properties. Flat steel products generally help reduce corrosion and in turn, enhance the ductility, quality, and reliability of the end product.

Market Drivers:
The rapid industrialization, increasing investments in infrastructures, and surging urban population are the primary factors anticipated to boost the growth of the global Flat Steel market. In addition to this, the growing demand for flat steel in the various sectors including construction & infrastructure, automotive, and mechanical equipment is anticipated to augment the growth of the global Flat Steel market during the forecast period. Apart from this, the high strength and durability of flat steel help lower construction and maintenance costs in the long-run. However, the fluctuating prices of the raw materials are likely to hinder the global Flat Steel market growth.
Market Segment Dominance:
The basic oxygen furnace is a traditional process that is widely practiced by steel manufacturers. Even though it is expensive, the high production rate, low labor requirement, and low nitrogen content are the reason for the high acceptance of basic oxygen furnace during the process of manufacturing flat steel. Thus, the basic oxygen furnace is anticipated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period.
The sheets & strips category is projected to hold the largest share of the Flat Steel market during the forecast period owing to the increasing applications in the home appliances, packaging, and electronics sectors. Moreover, the wide use of flat steel in making of door & window hoods, refrigerators, dry batteries, gutters, steel drums, wall ornaments, and others are likely to bolster the demand for sheets & strips which, in turn, will bolster the growth of the global Flat Steel market.
The rising use of flat steel in the construction of buildings& infrastructure, roads, railway tracks, bridges, factories, and other engineering structures are the primary reasons surging the growth of the building & infrastructure category. The low maintenance cost, lower construction costs, and beneficial functional properties such as strength, durability, flexibility, etc., while using flat steel will further help advance the building & infrastructure sector.
Regional Dominance:
Asia Pacific projected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period
The Asia Pacific is projected to lead the global Flat Steel market during the forecast period owing to the high demand for flat steel in China. Additionally, the growing number of end-use industries in developing regions like India, China, and others will augment the market growth. The growing urban population, rising economy, and the development in industries such as construction and automotive, among others, will further supplement the growth of the Flat Steel market.
