Report Outlook
The global high strength steel market was valued at USD 29.8 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. The growth in the Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) market is attributed to the favorable mechanical properties, incessant surge in automobile production, surge in global demand for electric vehicles, shift towards greener technologies, and development of third generation advanced steel.
Regulatory pressures, consumer awareness, and growing prominence of next-gen automotive companies are expected to influence the industry to refocus on green technology. It is estimated that each kilogram of High Strength Steel being utilized in vehicle, eight kilograms of GHG emissions are be saved (reported as CO2 equivalents). Shift towards green technology is expected to drive the demand for high strength steel.

However, few notable market restraints include volatility in raw materials, intense competition, and alternative product offering similar applications at the competitive price. Automotive manufacturers are constantly scrutinizing for lightweight materials with excellent strength and aluminum seems to be the front contender amongst them. Aluminum-based structures have gained wide attention from manufacturers owing to highly efficient, functional, formable, and performance enhancer aluminum, which is likely to restraint AHSS market growth.
Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Each generation of High Strength Steel is being developed to enhance the characteristics of strength-to-elongation ratio. Generation I type was developed from mild steel to form alloys. Even though the manufacturers were successful in increasing strength and elongation characteristics of the steel, the challenges pertaining to combining different grades of steel and high cost remains unaddressed.
