Dublin, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "India Hot Rolled & Cold Rolled Steel Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The India Hot Rolled & Cold Rolled Steel Market was valued at USD 171.11 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 270.49 Billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 7.77%. As the second-largest producer of crude steel globally, India produced 125.32 million tons (MT) of crude and 121.29 MT of finished steel in FY23. Domestic steel demand is expected to grow by 9-10% in FY25, with production poised to rise by 4-7% to 123-127 MT in FY24.

Key Market Drivers:

The booming automotive industry is a major driver. India's automotive sector, one of the largest worldwide, generates increasing steel demand, particularly Cold Rolled Steel, for its strength, smooth finish, and precise dimensions essential in manufacturing. The demand is further fueled by the trend toward electric vehicles (EVs), which require lightweight, durable frames for improved battery efficiency. The government's "Make in India" initiative also contributes, with foreign car manufacturers investing in domestic production. The automotive industry in India, valued at USD 122 billion in 2024, is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 10-12%, reaching USD 230 billion by 2030, positioning India as the world's third-largest automotive market following China and the USA.

Key Market Challenges:

Volatility in raw material prices, especially for iron ore and coal, presents significant challenges. Despite being one of the largest steel producers, India heavily relies on global markets for these materials. Price fluctuations, driven by mining disruptions and policy changes, impact production costs and profitability. Concurrently, supply chain disruptions from geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, or events like COVID-19 compound material shortages. Strategies to mitigate these issues include enhancing production efficiencies, exploring alternative raw materials, and strengthening supply chain resilience.

Key Market Trends:

The market is seeing a rise in demand for high-strength, lightweight steel, driven by automotive and construction industries seeking materials with superior strength-to-weight ratios. The switch to advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) and ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) is reducing vehicle weight and boosting fuel efficiency. This trend extends to the construction industry, where such steel supports modern infrastructure needs. Indian manufacturers are investing in R&D to produce advanced Hot Rolled and Cold Rolled Steel, focusing on strength, durability, and lightweight properties.
