Global Weathering Steel Market is valued approximately USD 1.1 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.9% over the forecast period 2020-2027. Weathering steel is also known as Cor-ten steel which is a trademark reference name given by United States steel. The cor-ten steel is primarily available in two grades consisting of (COR-TEN A) and A588 (COR-TEN B). The yield strength aligned with ultimate tensile strength stays same for both the grades. The weathering steel market is primarily driven by rising utility in construction sector, long shelf life with low maintenance cost, escalating utility of weathering steel in sculptures along with high demand from the manufacturing industries. The rising construction sector which include both residential and commercial spaces is acting as key driver for the demand and adoption of weathering steel market. According to the International Construction market survey, the rate of construction sector was estimated to be around 3.5% in the year 2018 which reached to around 3.9% in the year 2019 on the global scenario. According to Construct connect report, the Construction sector is estimated to witness a surge of around 20% in the year 2018 in comparison to year 2017. There would be around 100,730 new construction projects in Canada comprising of both residential and non-residential buildings and civil engineering works in the year 2018. Among 100,730 new construction projects, around 41,363 construction projects would be of non-residential buildings, 26,782 would be of residential buildings and 32,585 construction projects would be of other civil engineering works in Canada. Moreover, according to constructconnect, the highest number of construction projects would occur in central Canada accounting for 52,844 projects precisely followed by British Columbia province which would account for 23,338 construction projects that is 2nd highest in Canada resulting in paving the way for the development of weathering steel market.
