Steel Fiber Market by Type (Hooked, Straight, Deformed, Crimped), Manufacturing Process (Cold Drawn, Cut Wire, Melt Extract, Slit Sheet), Application (Concrete Reinforcements, Composite Reinforcements, Refractories), & Region- Global Forecast to 2029

Steel Fiber Market by Type (Hooked, Straight, Deformed, Crimped), Manufacturing Process (Cold Drawn, Cut Wire, Melt Extract, Slit Sheet), Application (Concrete Reinforcements, Composite Reinforcements, Refractories), & Region- Global Forecast to 2029

The Steel Fiber Market is estimated at USD 1.96 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.44 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2024 to 2029. Steel fibers are more adaptable, affordable, and suitable for a range of applications where reinforcing is required like concrete, composites, and refractories. Hooked steel fibers are the most favored option for many reinforcement applications. It has mechanical properties that increase the crack resistance of the reinforced concrete and make it more durable.

‘‘In terms of value, Straight steel fiber type to register the second highest CAGR in the overall Steel Fiber Market.’’

Straight steel fibers are well-known for their consistent and uniform shape along their entire length that helps the steel fibers to align randomly within the concrete mix, depending on the mixing process and the flow characteristics of the concrete. Straight steel fibers are commonly used in a wide range of reinforcement applications including industrial flooring, pavements, shotcrete, tunnel linings, and precast concrete elements. There is gradually increasing demand of steel fibers in the construction industry as the building and infrastructure projects are increasing all around the world.

‘‘In terms of value, composite application to register the highest CAGR in the overall Steel Fiber Market.’’

The market for steel fiber in the composite application is expected to grow, driven by the increasing demand for composites in various end use industries like automotive and aerospace. Steel fibers play an important role in enhancing the mechanical properties of composite materials across various industries and applications. By combining steel fibers with different matrix materials like ceramics, polymer, and others, engineers can tailor composite materials to meet specific performance requirements.

“During the forecast period, the Steel Fiber Market in Asia Pacific region is to register the highest CAGR.”

Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market for steel fibers. The market for steel fibers in the region is driven by the rapid urbanization and increasing investments from government in infrastructure development in many countries in this region. With economic contraction and saturation in the European and North American markets, the market is shifting to Asia Pacific. Manufacturers of steel fibers are targeting this region as it has a rapidly advancing construction industry, accounting for approximately 40% of the construction spending, according to the World Bank.
