US Market Study on Weathering Steel by Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast

Weathering Steel: Introduction

Weathering steel is a low carbon steel (0.3% carbon by weight), which has additional alloying elements (nickel, copper, and chromium) mixed with its carbon and iron atoms. In comparison with other types of steel, weathering steel has more strength and offers greater resistance to corrosion.

Due to mixing of alloying elements in its carbon & iron atoms, it works in a way such that, layer of rust formed on its outer surface acts as a barrier for the rust to penetrate deeper into weathering steel. The non-porous initial layer of rust formed adheres much better to the steel and acts as a protective layer.

Weathering steel is used in utilities, sign poles, highway guardrails, structures, and bridges. It offers enhanced safety by eliminating the need for a protective paint system; long lifespan; and reduces the overall lifecycle costs

Key Drivers and Restraints of Weathering Steel

Increase in demand for steel material for bridge construction is expected to drive the weathering steel market during the forecast period. Weathering steel offers long lifespan, improved corrosion resistant, and low maintenance features. This makes it an ideal material for usage in bridge construction applications.

Rise in capital expenditure on infrastructure development due to strong economic growth and increase in population in developing and developed countries is anticipated to propel the global weathering steel market. Weathering steel exhibits attractive appearance and has long shelf life. This is projected to boost the weathering steel market.

The usage of weathering steel in areas where concentrations of corrosive chemicals or industrial fumes is high could impact its properties. This is expected to restrain the global weathering steel market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Governments of several countries across the globe have imposed stringent lockdowns to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Movement of individuals and economic activities, related to goods and services, have come to a halt because of lockdowns. Led by the uncertainty triggered by COVID-19 crisis, many aspirational homeowners kept their decision of buying residential properties on hold. Commercial projects also witnessed a decline in investments. Weathering steel is used in the building & construction industry. Therefore, decrease in investment in the construction segment is hampering the global weathering steel market.

Weathering Steel Market: Segmentation

The global weathering steel market can be segmented based on type, form, and application

In terms of type, the global weathering steel market can be segregated into COR-TEN A, COR-TEN B, and others. COR-TEN B is one of an extensively used weather steel due to its high toughness and superior strength.

In terms of form, the global weathering steel market can be divided into sheets, plates, bars, and others. Plates is one of the extensively used forms of weathering steel. They are suitable for sulfur rich and high temperature environment to enhance metal life. Weathering steel plates are employed in a wide range of applications in heavy-duty transport, railway rolling stock, and shipping containers.

In terms of application, the global weathering steel market can be classified into building & construction, transportation, architecture, industrial, and others. The building & construction segment is anticipated to expand at a faster pace during the forecast period. Rapid urbanization as well as increase in spending power in developing countries are the factors expected to fuel the weathering steel market.
