直接还原铁(DRI)市场的成长与趋势

根据Grand View Research, Inc.的最新报告,预计到2030年全球直接还原铁市场规模将达到689.8亿美元,2025年至2030年的复合年增长率为7.1%。

DRI,也称为海绵铁,是钢铁生产中的重要原料,尤其是电弧炉(EAF)。随着全球特别是新兴国家都市化、工业化进程加快,钢铁需求快速成长,带动直接还原铁需求成长。随着新兴国家大力投资基础建设计划,预计这一趋势将持续下去,进一步推动市场成长。

传统高炉炼钢製程碳排放强度高,是温室气体排放的重要来源。相较之下,直接还原铁生产的二氧化碳排放明显较低,尤其是与再生能源来源和天然气结合时。随着世界各国政府和各行业采取更严格的环境法规并寻求减少碳足迹,向更清洁的炼钢工艺的转变正在加速。这将使 DRI 成为更永续的替代品,推动其采用和市场成长。

DRI 生产流程的技术进步也在市场扩张中发挥关键作用。基于气体和煤炭的直接还原铁技术的创新提高了生产效率、成本效益和可扩展性。例如,先进的气体还原技术的开发使得使用天然气作为还原剂变得经济可行且环保。这些技术改进使得更广泛的钢铁製造商能够进行直接还原铁生产,进一步刺激市场成长。

丰富的天然气资源,尤其是中东和北美等地区,也是直接还原铁产业的主要成长要素。天然气是基于气体的直接还原铁生产的主要投入,而且在这些地区天然气的成本相对较低,使得直接还原铁生产具有经济吸引力。此外,美国页岩气的繁荣使得直接还原铁的生产更具竞争力,从而导致廉价天然气过剩。这鼓励了对 DRI 工厂的投资,支持了这些地区的市场扩张。

直接还原铁市场报告重点

  • 根据最终用途,由于建筑、汽车和基础设施计划对钢铁的需求不断增加,炼钢部门在 2024 年占据市场主导地位,收益占有率最大,为 83.8%。随着全球都市化和工业化的加速,预计这一趋势将持续下去。
  • 按形式划分,冷直接还原铁 (CDRI) 领域在 2024 年占据市场最大收益占有率,达到 78.8%。 CDRI 的需求也受到环境效益的推动,例如与传统製造方法相比碳排放更低。
  • 受强大工业基础、快速都市化和高钢铁生产能力的推动,亚太地区将在 2024 年占据市场主导地位,收益占有率最高,为 56.8%。

Direct Reduced Iron Market Growth & Trends:

The global direct reduced iron market size is anticipated to reach USD 68.98 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. DRI, also known as sponge iron, is a critical raw material used in steel production, particularly in electric arc furnaces (EAFs). As global urbanization and industrialization accelerate, particularly in emerging economies, the need for steel has surged, boosting the demand for DRI. This trend is expected to continue as developing nations invest heavily in infrastructure projects, further propelling market growth.

Traditional blast furnace steelmaking methods are highly carbon-intensive, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, DRI production emits considerably lower levels of CO2, especially when paired with renewable energy sources or natural gas. The shift toward cleaner steelmaking processes has gained momentum as governments and industries worldwide adopt stricter environmental regulations and aim to reduce carbon footprints. This has positioned DRI as a more sustainable alternative, driving its adoption and market growth.

Technological advancements in DRI production processes have also played a crucial role in market expansion. Innovations in gas- and coal-based DRI technologies have improved production efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. For instance, developing advanced gas-based reduction technologies has enabled using natural gas as a reducing agent, which is both economically viable and environmentally friendly. These technological improvements have made DRI production more accessible to a wider range of steel manufacturers, further stimulating market growth.

The availability of abundant natural gas resources, particularly in regions like the Middle East and North America, has also been a significant growth driver for the direct reduced iron industry. Natural gas is a key input in gas-based DRI production, and its relatively low cost in these regions has made DRI production more economically attractive. In addition, the shale gas boom in the U.S. has further enhanced the competitiveness of DRI production, leading to a surplus of affordable natural gas. This has encouraged investments in DRI plants and supported the market's expansion in these regions.

Direct Reduced Iron Market Report Highlights:

  • Based on end use, the steelmaking segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 83.8% in 2024, due to the growing demand for steel in construction, automotive, and infrastructure projects. This trend is expected to continue as urbanization and industrialization accelerate globally.
  • Based on form, the cold direct reduced iron (CDRI) segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 78.8% in 2024, driven by its increasing use in steelmaking due to its high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The demand for CDRI is also boosted by its environmental benefits, such as lower carbon emissions compared to traditional methods.
  • Asia Pacific is the dominant the market with the largest revenue share of 56.8% in 2024, due to the region's strong industrial base, rapid urbanization, and high steel production capacity.
