Global Stainless-steel Market is valued approximately at USD 111.4 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.3% over the forecast period 2020-2027. Stainless steel is an iron alloy with least chromium content of 10.5 per cent. Stainless steel incorporates varying amounts of manganese, iron, silicone and other elements such as nickel and molybdenum to give properties such as increased formability and increased resistance to corrosion. Properties like low maintenance, ease of manufacture and esthetic appeal have led to an increase in preference for stainless steel over ordinary steel, which is likely to support industrial growth. According to Statista, global production of stainless steel increased to 52.2 million metric tons in 2019 from 30 million metric tons in 2010. The use of stainless steel is supported by the Ministry of Steel of the Government of India, which may be a market opportunity factor for the projected timeframe. In March 2018, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) and ArcelorMittal (AM) consented on the basic terms & conditions for the joint acquisition and management of Essar Steel India Limited (ESIL), which is currently in the Indian Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code resolution process, through a joint venture to be formed by NSSMC and AM. The increase in demand for stainless steel in the medical sector may boost market growth during the forecast period. It is widely used in construction of kidney dishes, surgical and dental instruments, in addition to other medical equipment such as steam sterilizers, MRI scanners, and cannulas. Positive application scope in consumer goods such as such as cookware, stoves, and showpieces are also expected to boost the stainless-steel demand. However, increased use of carbon fiber as a substitute for stainless steel in the automotive industry due to its properties, such as high strength and low weight, is approximated to hinder market growth during the forecast time frame.
