Iron Ore Pellets Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Grade (Blast Furnaces, Direct Reduction and Other Grades), Source (Hematite, Taconite, Magnetite and Other Sources), Technology (Oxygen-based/Blast Furnaces, Electric Arc Furnaces, Electric Induction Furnaces and Other Technologies), Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Iron Ore Pellets Market is accounted for $60 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $82 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Iron ore pellets are spherical balls of iron ore that are used in steel manufacturing. Iron ore pellets are the kind of balls that are small in size manufactured from iron ore. The iron ore pellets are present in various industries. The iron ore pellets are manufactured with various technologies such as oxygen-based/blast furnace, electric induction furnace, and various other technologies. It helps in providing the tensile strength as well as durability to the end-users.

According to the World Steel Association, a global completed steel marketplace call for has been expected at around USD 1.68 billion metric lots and it's going to develop at a sizable rate over the forecast timeframe. According to the World Steel Association, the global crude steel production increased by 3.4 percent to 1,869.9 million tons.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Absence of high-grade lump ore

Before, lump ores were the main source of iron in the manufacturing process. However, due to extensive mining activity by many corporations, high-grade lump ore reserves have been quickly diminishing over time. Furthermore, the sintering process, which is used when lump ore is used, produces more pollution than the pelletizing process, so major steel companies prefer to use iron ore pellets as blast furnace feed over lump ore. Furthermore, the steel demand is predicted to rise as the building and construction industry grows with rising industrialization. As a result of these reasons, the demand for iron ore pellets is expanding.

Restraint:

Fluctuations in raw material prices

The market is heavily needy on iron and steel and consequently, the fluctuations in the price of raw material will prove to be a demerit for the iron ore pellets market. However, it requires highly specialized equipment, requires trained personnel, filling into gelatin capsules is difficult. These factors are expected to hamper growth of the global iron ore pellets market.

Opportunity:

Investments and Government Initiatives

Significant investments in research and development activities that further enhance product applications extend profitable opportunities to the market players. As with many industries, an increasing focus on sustainability has prompted producers to look at every available resource as a potential raw material. Additionally, various governments have taken a move towards more sustainable steel production will further expand the future growth of the iron ore pellets market.

Threat:

Accessibility of substitutes

The use of aluminum as a substitute to steel, mainly in automotive applications, is projected to restrain the demand for steel. Carbon fibers are also widely being used in the automotive industry due to their lightness, high strength, and load-bearing properties. Automobile manufacturers are under rising pressure to meet the regulatory requirements pertaining to the environmental impact of vehicles. Thus, impacting the growth of the iron ore pellets market

Covid-19 Impact

The recent outbreak of corona virus had a negative impact on the iron ore pellets market. The global suspension of steel-producing services largely affected the market. Falling steel use, this has had an influence on iron ore pricing in various parts of the world. Moreover, the halt of various supply chain, as well as the other operations, largely impacted the market. Moreover, the individual regulatory bodies begin to relax these enforced lockdowns. The suspended and cancelled operations will continue and as a result the market is estimated to expand.

The blast furnace segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The blast furnace segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to it is a lower grade product when compared to iron pellets used in direct reduced method, and therefore has a lower cost compared to its counterpart. Blast furnace method is usually found in integrated steel plants. Lower cost of these iron ore pellets, coupled with the abundance of integrated steel plants found in developed economies, is the primary factor boosting the growth of the BF segment.

The electric induction furnace segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The electric induction furnace segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its ability to allow energy efficient, clean, and easily controllable melting process. Various benefits, such as reduced pollution and superior metallurgical control, are boosting the demand for technology. Moreover, as the absence of traditional combustion sources minimizes the oxidation loss, the electric induction furnace improves yielding capability, which is also increasing its demand.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to its various benefits, including uniform size and high metallization rate. Also, growing urbanization and associated constructions associated with the presence of various automotive majors are expected to stimulate demand for iron ore pellets in this region. The quick growth in the construction & infrastructural projects in the region are expected to spur the demand for steel, and subsequently drive iron ore pellet demand during the forecast period.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the high demand of steel in highly energy-intensive industry and iron pellet reduces the cost. The increasing production of electric vehicles, demand from construction, aerospace & defence, and automotive industries and revival of aircraft manufacturing operations is expected to drive demand. This is likely to in turn increase the demand for iron ore pellets.
