US Electrical Steel Drivers

  • Renewable Energy Expansion

Energy storage systems, solar inverters, wind turbines, and other renewable energy sources drive the demand for electrical steel. Renewable energy is growing quickly because governments around the world are putting a strong emphasis on clean energy transitions and carbon neutrality targets. Electrical steel is essential for effectively converting renewable energy sources into useable power due to its magnetic characteristics. Improvements in technology that improve the efficiency and dependability of renewable energy systems, favorable regulations, and rising investments in renewable infrastructure are the main factors supporting this trend.

  • Infrastructure Modernization

Electrical steel demand is driven by infrastructure modernization, which calls for improvements to transportation networks and outdated power grids to increase their dependability and efficiency. Governments and businesses fund high-speed rail, smart grid technology, and urban development initiatives, all of which demand sophisticated electrical components. Energy transmission and distribution systems are greatly improved by electrical steel because of its reduced core losses and magnetic qualities. Growing urbanization, population expansion, and the requirement to provide robust and sustainable infrastructure for coming generations are the main causes of this driver.

 

Restraints:

  • Trade Tariffs and Policies

Tariffs on imported steel and associated materials increase the cost of production for home manufacturers, which reduces their ability to compete. Long-term planning and investment are hampered by market volatility that is further exacerbated by uncertainty surrounding trade agreements and punitive actions. Trade obstacles can also restrict access to foreign markets, which can limit growth potential in the face of intense global competition and altering trade dynamics and decrease export opportunities for US electrical steel manufacturers.

  • Technological Disruption

The market dominance of electrical steel in a variety of applications is being threatened by advancements in substitute materials like silicon carbide and carbon fiber composites. Existing manufacturers face financial obstacles as a result of the large expenditures needed for research, development, and retooling necessary to adapt to these new technologies. In quickly changing industries, falling behind on technological improvements can lead to a decline in market relevance and a competitive disadvantage.

 

Opportunities:

  • Grid Modernization Initiatives

Grid modernization projects create demand for cutting-edge infrastructure components, which presents a large opportunity for the US electrical steel industry. Reliable and efficient electrical systems are necessary for investments in microgrids, smart grids, and the integration of renewable energy sources. In current grids, electrical steel is crucial for transformers, switchgear, and transmission equipment because of its exceptional magnetic characteristics. The market for high-performance electrical steel is expected to rise as governments and utilities place a higher priority on sustainability and grid resilience. This will present manufacturers with attractive prospects in the changing energy landscape.

  • Increasing Energy Efficiency Standards

The US electrical steel market has a significant opportunity due to rising energy efficiency rules, which are increasing demand for high-performance materials in appliances, motors, and transformers. Advanced electrical steel with lower core losses and better magnetic characteristics is becoming more and more necessary as manufacturers are forced by stricter requirements to use more efficient technologies. The need for compliant electrical steel products is anticipated to increase, stimulating growth and innovation in the market as consumers and businesses look for energy-saving solutions to lower operational costs and environmental impact.

 

Segment Overview

  • By Product

Based on product, the US electrical steel market is divided into grain-oriented electrical steel and non-grain-oriented electrical steel. The non-grain-oriented electrical steel category dominates the market with the largest revenue share in 2023. Because non-grain-oriented electrical steel does not have a preferred crystal orientation, all directions of its magnetic characteristics can be equally strong. Because of this, NGOES can be used in applications like electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices that experience direction changes in magnetic flux while operating.  The magnetic characteristics of grain-oriented electrical steel are enhanced in the rolling direction due to its preferred crystal orientation. Because of this feature, it is perfect for use in distribution and power transformers, where directional magnetic flux is essential for effective energy distribution and transmission.

  • By Application

Based on the application, the US electrical steel market is categorized into transformers, motors, inductors, and others. The transformers category leads the US electrical steel market with the largest revenue share in 2023. Transformers are devices that employ electromagnetic induction to move electrical energy between circuits. In transformer cores, electrical steel plays a crucial role in effectively concentrating and channeling magnetic flux to reduce energy losses. Electric motors provide power to a variety of machinery and equipment by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
In motor cores, electrical steel is used to produce magnetic fields that propel rotor motion and produce mechanical power. When current passes through inductors, which are passive electrical components, energy is stored in a magnetic field.

 

US Electrical Steel Overview by Region

The US electrical steel market is categorized into U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The U.S. emerged as the leading region, capturing the largest market share in 2023. Numerous elements, such as a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability, technical breakthroughs, and a robust industrial infrastructure, are responsible for this leadership. The US has made large expenditures in electrical grid renovation, renewable energy projects, and vehicle electrification programs, which have increased demand for electrical steel in a number of industries. The competitiveness of US electrical steel makers has also been strengthened by supportive regulatory policies and a highly skilled labor pool, securing the nation's top spot in the market.

Throughout the forecast period, Canada is anticipated to post a significant CAGR. The country's emphasis on switching to a greener, more sustainable energy system, along with government programs encouraging energy efficiency, is increasing demand for electrical steel in a number of industries. Furthermore, Canada's technological innovation and wealth of natural resources support its potential for long-term growth and competitiveness in the world market for electrical steel.
