The global stainless steel market is accounted to US$ 198,660 Mn in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2019 - 2027, to account to US$ 323,144.6 Mn by 2027. Stainless steel is iron-base alloys with a minimum of 10.5% Chromium. The Chromium creates a thin passive layer of oxide on the surface of the steel, which prevents corrosion of the steel surface. Increasing the amount of chromium improves the corrosion resistance property of stainless steel. It is used in a wide range of applications such as industrial, architectural, chemical, and consumer application. Stainless steel is an engineering material characterized by high corrosion resistance, strength, and fabrication characteristics. Carbon, silicon, manganese, and other elements are added in the stainless to enhance useful properties such as formability and increased corrosion resistance.
The global stainless steel market is bifurcated based on application into automotive and transportation, building and construction, consumer goods & other metal components, heavy industries, and electrical machinery. The consumer goods & metal components segment accounted for the largest share in the global stainless steel market. Stainless steel is used in consumer goods as they are easy to clean and require less maintenance. The aesthetic appearance, high resistance against extreme temperatures and corrosiveness has favored the stainless steel market in the consumer goods and metal products sector to a large extend. Stainless steel has served to be an ideal inert material for sinks and hobs, washing machines, dishwashers, and ovens.
Increased adoption of natural products over synthetic products is driving the growth of the stainless steel market. Stainless steel has been used in the construction industry due to both its practical and aesthetic reason. The stainless steel is largely used in the construction sites to retain the original appearance owing to its higher durability properties. The characteristic features of stainless steel like corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, durability, and aesthetic appearance make it ideally suited in the construction and architectural applications.
