U.S. And Mexico Stainless Steel Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. and Mexico stainless steel market size is anticipated to reach USD 20.63 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing product usage for consumer appliance manufacturing coupled with rising demand from building & construction industry is the primary factor driving the market growth. Stainless steel has several advantageous properties over other materials, such as high cryogenic toughness, corrosion resistance, ductility, attractive appearance, and high strength & hardness. Therefore, it has numerous applications in consumer goods, automotive, aerospace, marine, electronics, industrial machinery, and building & construction industries. Automotive & transportation sector is projected to witness a moderate growth owing to slowdown in automotive production in U.S.

However, stringent emission policies have forced automakers to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles, which is likely to influence the product demand. To comply with the government regulations, manufacturers are now focusing on reducing the vehicle weight using lightweight materials, such as stainless steel, plastic, and aluminum. Furthermore, the rising trade tensions between U.S. and China and imposition of anti-dumping tariffs against Chinese imports in May 2018 are likely to provide lucrative growth opportunity to domestic vendors. Owing to the imposition of high tariffs, the overall imports of stainless steel into the country observed a decline of 16% from 2017 to 2018.

Building & construction industry in the region is also likely to provide opportunities for the industry growth. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the total construction spending (nonresidential and residential) in 2018 increased by 3.7% as compared to the previous year and reached USD 1,293.9 billion. Mexico automotive industry is estimated to be a key driver for the market growth. According to International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the Mexican automotive production, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles, was 3,565 thousand units in 2014 and it reached 4,100 thousand units in 2018. Due to continuous increase in production of vehicles, the product demand is anticipated to increase over the coming years.
