With the growing industrialization across the automotive & construction sector, there is a continuous need for a storage area for storing all equipment, tools, and raw materials at one location. While industries generally reserve certain spaces for such storage, often, such spaces are not enough. Industries often rely on outdoor sheds to reduce such space constraints or to create additional storage spaces. They can be used for storing raw materials and broken-down equipment and as an additional workshop. Therefore, the demand for outdoor sheds is rising in several industries. However, the sheds are required to be long-lasting, highly resistant to environmental forces, and sturdy. As a result, metal sheds are preferred over wooden sheds. Wooden sheds are prone to rot if not maintained properly, whereas metal sheds are highly resistant to corrosion and require much less maintenance. Such factors are increasing the demand for metal sheds, which is promoting the Europe & US outdoor shed market growth. With the rising demand for outdoor sheds across Europe and the US, the price for raw materials such as steel has also increased. For instance, the global steel industry is witnessing high steel rates as steel prices continue to increase. According to the e-Eighteen.com Ltd. website, European steel prices increased from US$ 20 per ton to US$ 1,185 per ton, while Chinese domestic prices declined as of May 6, 2021. Exports distribution of raw materials such as steel has increased to US$ 32 per ton, US$ 121 per ton, and US$ 48 per ton month-over-month in China, Europe, and other Asian countries, respectively. Since the US and Europe import large quantities of iron and steel from Asian countries, higher prices in Asian countries are expected to restrict the growth of the Europe & US outdoor shed market. However, the increasing disposable income of people in developed economies such as the US, Germany, the UK, and France has enriched their purchasing power. People are willing to pay more for lifestyle products and household renovation. Hence, despite the rise in the price of raw materials, the demand for outdoor sheds is expected to remain high, boosting the Europe & US outdoor shed market growth.
