The Steel Wire Market Size was valued at USD 113.13 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 172.73 billion by 2032 and grow at a CAGR of 5.52% over the forecast period 2024-2032.

During the projected period, rising investments in the construction sector are expected to support market expansion. Ropes and strands, which are downstream products of steel wires, are used extensively in the construction sector, including as additional reinforcement in towers and as a means of sustaining suspension bridges. They are widely utilized in the construction of prestressed concrete, which supports large retaining walls, runways, roofs, and floor beams.

The U.S. increasing construction expenditures are expected to increase the nation's need for steel wires. The United States will require more than USD 2600 billion over the course of the next ten years to meet its infrastructure repair needs, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. In November 2021, the government approved USD 550 billion in funding for infrastructure improvements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Another significant end-use for steel wire ropes in the market is the automotive sector, where they are used to produce different vehicle parts, move weights, and place equipment. Moreover, radial vehicle tires, wire pads, cables, exhaust lines, fasteners, and wire pads are some additional end uses. It is anticipated that the market will gain from the renewed emphasis on raising auto output.

It is expected that the market's growth will be limited due to the availability of alternatives such as plastic ropes. Some small-scale producers have shifted to using plastic ropes because of factors like cost-effectiveness and sustainability, which come with advantages including lighter products, more stability, and reduced production waste. Thus, over the next several years, it is anticipated that expanding developments in the creation of plastic ropes will obstruct market growth.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Drivers

  • Increasing demand from the automotive industry to propel the market growth.

One of the primary applications for steel wire in the automotive industry is tire bead reinforcement. It is a substance that is frequently utilized in the automotive industry to give windshields and other components performance, durability, and safety. These wires are employed in the automotive sector as wire strands that are twisted together to create a helix structure, which is then utilized in production lines, hoists, and different kinds of cranes. In military vehicles, wire rope isolators rely heavily on this wire. Wire rope isolators are made to endure harsh conditions and strong vibrations and shocks. They are perfect for military vehicles like tanks, jeeps, and airplanes that are subjected to explosives or difficult terrain because of their functionality.

The market for electric vehicles is increasing quickly. Among the essential parts of electric vehicles is the electric wire harness. In comparison to traditional ICE vehicles, electric vehicles require three times more wire harnesses, which are provided by auto component suppliers. Therefore, businesses in the cables and wires sector should see a rise in production volume due to the growing demand for EVs. During the projected period, the expanding electric vehicle industry is expected to support steel wire market growth.

  • Increasing construction sector drives the Steel Wire market growth.

Restraint

  •  Availability of alternatives like plastic ropes and hybrid ropes hamper the growth.

Some small-scale producers have switched to using plastic ropes because of its advantages such as high stability, low product weight, and less production waste. Sustainability and affordability are two of these benefits. Because of this, it is projected that the development of plastic ropes will continue to advance, which will limit steel wire market growth. Due to its benefits, the production of plastic and hybrid ropes has increased which hampered the market growth.

Opportunities

  • Steel-based ropes are mainly used in architecture and engineering works in many large structures.

Market segmentation

By Material

  • Carbon steel

  • Alloy steel

  • Stainless steel

The carbon steel dominated the steel wire market with the highest revenue share of more than 66% in 2023 and it is projected that this tendency holds throughout the upcoming period. Wires are made from both low- and high-carbon steel and are mostly utilized in the construction, automotive, and military industries. A wide range of diameters, from 0.2 mm to 8 mm, can be drawn into them.

High carbon steel wire is used in cutting silicon ingots for the musical instruments, solar industry, bridge cables and tire reinforcement materials. These have less ductility but are stronger than low carbon. Additional benefits of carbon steel wire are its durability, safety during handling, and recyclable nature. These features, together with the fact that they are widely used in industries like equipment, railroads, construction, and other similar ones, should accelerate the expansion of this market.

Over the course of the projected period, stainless steel is expected to increase at the fastest rate. This material's wires are utilized in hardware, screws, cables, metallic nets, and springs. Because of qualities like strong corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, hygiene, aesthetics, imperviousness to heat and fire, flexibility, and longevity, it is highly demanded in industries like electronics, oil, and kitchenware. Its high cost in comparison to other materials is the reason for its poor market share.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
