Buyers in the automobile industry are emerging as the chief end-users in the steel market with their increasing demand for AHSS that is a lighter variant of the usual steel. This steel variant renders a vehicle fuel-efficient as it reduces the overall weight of the vehicle by half. With the infrastructure developments in the emerging nations gaining momentum, spend growths in the structural steel and stainless-steel markets are observing an exponential rise which is contributing to the overall spend momentum in the global steel market.

Construction, automobile, shipbuilding, and capital goods are among the largest end-user segments in the steel markets in regions like APAC and Europe. However, the economic slowdown observed in some of the major European economies such as Italy, Spain, and France is declining the consumption of steel in major end-user industries.
