Due to its widespread usage in body constructions, power trains and suspensions, automotive steel may see a rise in demand in tandem with demand for commercial vehicles.
For instance, in July 2022, 168,000 commercial cars were sold in China, according to Pandaily, a tech media outlet in China. The figure represented a 49.4% rise in sales year over year. The rising demand for commercial vehicles will thus benefit the automotive steel market's growth throughout the projected period.
Price Volatility for Raw Materials
The price volatility of raw materials, especially iron ore and coal, which are necessary for steel manufacturing, is a major constraint on the globally automotive steel market. Natural catastrophes, shifts in the dynamics of supply and demand and geopolitical conflicts are some of the causes of price fluctuations in these raw materials. For example, geopolitical conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war have affected supply lines for essential raw materials, leading to unexpected price increases.
Furthermore, the fluctuation in raw material prices impacts the financial planning and procurement tactics employed by automobile manufacturers. Automobile manufacturers are compelled to absorb higher manufacturing expenses when steel producers pass on higher costs resulting from a spike in raw material prices. The might result in lower profit margins and higher car prices, which would decrease customer demand.
Regulations Regarding the Environment and Sustainability
The global automotive steel market is further restricted by environmental restrictions and sustainability concerns. To lower carbon emissions and encourage sustainable industrial production methods, governments all over the world are enforcing stronger environmental laws. The impetus to embrace greener technology and lessen its carbon footprint is growing for the steel sector, which is among the biggest industrial emitters of CO2.
Moreover, the market for conventional automotive steel is being impacted by the move towards electric vehicles (EVs) and lightweight materials to increase fuel economy.

The number of motor vehicles sold in U.S. in 2020 ranged between 14.5 to 15 million units. Although sales in the first two months of 2021 were lower than in December, they were still on the rise globally. Moreover, strict emission regulations and investment in green infrastructure are expected to grow the demand for various steel products in the automotive sector.
For instance, Canada's government invested about US$ 3.4 million in clean technologies and green infrastructure by increasing the number of zero-emission vehicles. Moreover, these initiatives complement Canada's strengthened climate plan, A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy, which will further accelerate zero-emission vehicle adoption through an additional US$ 149.5 million for ZEV infrastructure and an additional US$ 286 million for ZEV purchasing incentives for Canadians.
The COVID-19 epidemic caused supply chains to break and demand dynamics to change, which had a significant effect on the globally automotive steel market. Lockdowns and other measures during the pandemic's early phases caused the shutdown of production facilities, notably steel and car industries. As a result, there was a sharp decline in steel output, which led to a deficit in supplies.
Furthermore, there was less of a need for automotive steel as a result of the slowdown in car manufacturing brought on by factory closures and lower customer demand. Together, these elements led to a market contraction, whereby unstable pricing and disrupted supply chains became the new normal. The market developed new difficulties as the epidemic spread, including a labor shortage and logistical snags.
The expenses and delays were further increased by the reorganization of supply networks to conform to new safety regulations. As customer tastes evolved, there was a shift in the demand, with a noticeable increase in desire for private automobiles over public transit because of health concerns. Steel demand eventually increased as a result of this eventual rebound in automobile demand, but supply levels were not adjusted by the market in time.
