Steel Fiber Market by Type (Hooked, Straight, Deformed, Crimped), Application (Concrete, Composite, Refractories), Manufacturing Process (Cut Wire/Cold Drawn, Slit Sheet, Melt Extract), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
The steel fiber market is projected to reach USD 2.52 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.0%. Steel fiber is defined as a distinct, short length of steel that can be randomly and quickly mixed in fresh concrete. Steel fibers are available in hooked, crimped, straight, deformed, or other forms. The selection of the type of steel fiber depends on the specific application. Proper mixing of steel fiber is essential in reinforced concrete. If steel fibers are not evenly distributed in the concrete mixture, the resulting reinforced concrete will lack strength. Proper mixing of the steel fiber is necessary to impart toughness and tensile properties to the reinforced concrete.
Also, the market size of the steel fiber market is projected to be 1,127.2 kilotons by 2023 with a CAGR of 4.0%. The key drivers identified for the steel fiber market are growing infrastructure and supportive government policies. The restraining factor identified is the replacement of steel fibers with synthetic fibers in specific applications and increasing cost. The market for steel fiber is competitive and is mainly dominated by established players. The setting up of a manufacturing unit requires high investment, which makes the entry of new players difficult. The threat of substitutes is high. Some substitute materials are available, which can match steel fibers, in terms of performance and cost.
By application, the concrete reinforcement segment is expected to lead the market.
The market for steel fiber is segmented based on application into concrete reinforcement, composite reinforcement, refractories, and others. The other segment includes vaults, filters, and material plastics. The demand for steel fiber is high in the concrete reinforcement application. The ability to provide high tensile strength to reinforced concrete has led to the increasing demand for steel fiber in the concrete reinforcement application.
By type, the hooked segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period.
The hooked segment will dominate the steel fiber market during the forecast period. Hooked steel fiber is used in concrete reinforcement, which is further used in hydraulic structures, airport and highway paving, industrial floor, refractory concrete, bridge decks, shotcrete linings, and explosion resistant structures. This steel fiber type is affordable and readily available due to its huge demand. Hooked steel fiber substantially enhances initial crack strength and also provides post- crack strength. They form stronger joints, which results in low maintenance.
By manufacturing process, the cut wire/ cold drawn sector is expected to lead the market.
The cut wire/ cold drawn manufacturing process is used widely for manufacturing steel fiber at the global level. In this process, the material is drawn at room temperature. The products manufactured through this process have a polished finish, improved mechanical properties, improvised machining characteristics, and uniform dimensional tolerance. The cold drawn manufacturing process is more accurate and has a better surface finish than hot extruded parts. For this manufacturing process, inexpensive materials can be used for strength requirements. This process is mainly used for manufacturing hooked steel fiber.
APAC to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The steel fiber market has a broad scope of growth in the APAC region. The steel fiber market in APAC is segmented into China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia & New Zealand, and the Rest of APAC. China, India, and Japan are the fast-growing economies in the region that contribute to the growth of the market. There are multiple large steel fiber manufacturers, which are present in the APAC region, such as Nippon Seisen, Zhejiang Boean Metal Products, Hunan Sunshine Steel Fiber, and Yuthian Zhitai Steel Fiber Manufacturing. The growing construction industry is expected to increase the demand for steel fiber in the region during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Development of infrastructure with supportive government policies
With the development of infrastructure in the emerging and developed economies, the construction of roads and commercial buildings and river banking projects have witnessed tremendous investments. These civil construction projects boost the consumption of steel fiber materials that are durable and cost-effective with long-lasting solutions.
The emerging and developed economies, worldwide, are making significant investments to secure long-term future growth, and their aim toward socio-economic benefits is supporting the growth of the steel fiber market. For example, the Indian government aims to invest in infrastructure projects during 2018–2019. This provides expansion opportunities to companies operating in the steel fiber market and introduces their products as per environmental standards and regulations.
Restraint: Synthetic fibers replacing steel fibers in certain applications
Steel fibers and synthetic fibers have entirely different properties. For airport runways, steel fibers are used, but for individual projects, synthetic fibers are also used. The use of synthetic fibers in airport runways reduces the chances of damaging the airplane tires. Also, certain disadvantages are associated with steel fibers, such as variation in concrete strength and corrosion.
Opportunity: Growing infrastructure in developing countries
Steel fiber finds applications mainly in the infrastructure segment, which is growing in developing countries such as India, China, Brazil, and South Africa. The construction of roads, airport runways, bridges, and canals and other infrastructural projects are increasing, providing opportunities in the steel fiber market growth in these emerging economies. Also, concrete reinforcement, majorly used in construction, will also boost the growth of the steel fiber market. Europe is one of the fastest-growing markets for steel fibers, with numerous infrastructural developments taking place across the region.
Challenge: Difficulty in processing
Steel fibers are manufactured in various diameters according to the requirement. The process of making steel fiber having small diameters is difficult and time-consuming, as the diameter of the steel fiber ranges from 0.001–1.00 mm. In addition, the diameter of these films varies with application. Lesser the diameter of the steel fiber more is the strength of the steel fiber. Manufacturing steel fiber with smaller diameter requires more time, resulting in increasing the overall cost of processing and making the product more expensive. Therefore, steel fibers having less diameter have lower demand.
