Steel Rebar Market Trends
Growing Demand from the Non-Residential Sector
- With increasing urbanization, steel rebars are experiencing extensive utilization from the non-residential segment, like the oil and gas industry, infrastructure, commercial construction, corporate buildings, etc.
- The United States boasts a colossal construction sector that employs over 9.9 million employees as of January 2023. Playing a prominent role in commercial and non-residential construction, the United States construction sector exhibits a significant contribution to the country's economy. Due to increasing non-residential construction activities in the United States the consumption of steel rebar in the country is expected to increase.
- According to the United States Census Bureau, the value of new construction output in the United States amounted to USD 1,792.9 billion in December 2022. The non-residential sector accounted for USD 997.14 billion in March 2023, registering a growth of 18.8% compared to the same period the previous year.
- Moreover, according to the United States Census Bureau, the private and public construction nonresidential spending in June 2022 was 492.68 billion, which showed an increase of 1.74% compared to June 2021, which amounted to USD 484.26 billion. Therefore, increasing in the spending on private and public non-residential constructions in the country is expected to create an upside demand for steel rebar market.
- Apart from that, there are various construction commercial projects scheduled in the United States Red Bull North America's USD 740 million worth 2 million-square-foot processing and distribution facility in Concord, North Carolina; Dairy cooperative DairgoldUSD 500 million worth 400,000-square-foot processing facility in Port of Pasco, Washington (completion scheduled for 2023); Biotics Research Corporation USD 9 million worth 88,000-square-foot warehouse, laboratory, and office facility in Rosenberg, Texas (completion scheduled for 2023).
- Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is working on a lot of commercial projects, which will likely lead to more commercial buildinings in the country.The USD 500 billion futuristic mega-city "Neom" project, the Red Sea Project - Phase 1, which is expected to be completed by 2025 and has 14 luxury and hyper-luxury hotels with 3,000 rooms spread across five islands and two inland resorts, Qiddiya Entertainment City, Amaala - the uber-luxury wellness tourism destination, and Jean Nouvel's Sharaan resort in Al-Ula.
- India is anticipated to remain the fastest-growing G20 economy. The Indian government announced a target of USD 376.5 billion in infrastructure investment over three years (2023-2025), including USD 120.5 billion for developing 27 industrial clusters and USD 75.3 billion for road, railway, and port connectivity projects.

- Furthermore, Indonesia expects to begin construction in the second quarter on apartments worth USD 2.7 billion for thousands of civil servants due to move to its new capital city on Borneo island. Moreover, tndonesian government intends to finance it for 80% through foreign investments. Therefore, this is expected to create an upside demand for the consumption of steel rebars from the contry's residential construction.
- Indonesia plans to develop a USD 1 billion worth 900 MW hydropower project in Kayan River in the North Kalimantan (Kaltara) province. The project stands at the EPC stage, with a startup date planned for 2022. The project is expected to be commissioned after the completion of the construction in 2025.
- The Japanese construction industry is expected to be booming as the country will host the World Expo in 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Furthermore, the ESR Cayman, OS Cosmosquare Data Centre, Osaka project, valued at USD 2,000 million, was Japan's largest building project, on which construction started in Q4 2022. The ESR Cayman, OS Cosmosquare Data Centre, Osaka project was announced in Q2 2021 in Osaka (City), Japan, with a completion date of Q1 2026. The second-largest project, the MLIT Japan, Shitara Dam Development, Aichi, with a project value of USD 570 million, began development in Q4 2022. The MLIT Japan, Shitara Dam Development, Aichi project is located in Japan and was announced in Q3 2022, with a completion date of Q4 2034.
- Thus, rising demand from various countries is expected to drive the market studied in the region during the forecast period.
