市场动态
促进者
无高品位块矿
过去,块矿是製造过程中铁的主要来源。然而,由于许多公司的广泛开采活动,随着时间的推移,高品位块矿储量正在迅速减少。此外,使用块矿的烧结工艺比球团矿工艺污染更大,因此各大钢铁企业更愿意使用球团矿作为高炉原料,而不是块矿。此外,随着工业化进程的推进,建筑业的增长,对钢材的需求有望扩大。由于这些原因,对铁矿石球团的需求正在增长。
抑製剂
原材料价格波动
作为一个依赖钢铁的市场,原材料价格的波动是不利的。铁矿石颗粒以铁矿石为原料製造,但存在需要高度专业化的设备、需要训练有素的人员、明胶胶囊填充困难等问题。这些因素被认为阻碍了铁矿石球团市场的增长。
机会
投资和政府努力
为进一步增强产品应用而对研发活动进行的大量投资为市场参与者扩大了有利可图的机会。与许多行业一样,对可持续性的日益关注导致生产商将每一种可用资源都视为潜在的原料。此外,各国政府正在采取措施实现更可持续的钢铁生产,这将进一步推动铁矿石球团市场的未来增长。
威胁
替代品的可用性
铝被用作钢材的替代品,主要用于汽车应用,预计将抑制对钢材的需求。碳纤维以其重量轻、强度高、承载能力强等优点被广泛应用于汽车行业。汽车製造商面临着满足有关车辆对环境影响的监管要求的巨大压力。因此,它正在影响铁矿石球团市场的增长。
COVID-19 的影响
最近爆发的冠状病毒对铁矿石球团市场产生了负面影响。钢铁生产服务的全球停工主要影响了市场。钢铁使用量的下降影响了世界各地的铁矿石价格。此外,各种供应链以及其他业务的暂停在很大程度上影响了市场。此外,个别监管机构将开始放鬆这些强制性封锁。预计随着关闭和暂停运营的继续,市场将继续扩大。
在预测期内,高炉行业预计将是最大的。
由于与直接还原过程中使用的铁球团矿相比,低品位产品预计高炉部分将有利增长,从而与同类产品相比成本更低。在高炉工艺中,通常用于综合钢厂。球团矿的低成本和新兴经济体中综合钢厂的丰富是推动高炉行业增长的主要因素。
预计在预测期内,感应电炉板块的复合年增长率最高。
由于感应电炉能够实现节能、清洁且易于控制的熔化过程,因此预计在预测期内将呈现最快的复合年增长率。减少污染和更好的冶金控制等各种优势正在推动对该技术的需求。此外,没有传统的燃烧源可以最大限度地减少氧化损失,而感应电炉可以提高产量,这些需求也在不断增加。
市场占有率最高的地区
由于尺寸均匀和金属化率高等各种优势,亚太地区预计在预测期内将占据最大的市场份额。此外,随着汽车製造商的进步,城市化进程和建筑建设有望刺激该地区对铁矿石球团的需求。该地区建筑和基础设施项目的快速扩张预计将刺激钢铁需求,从而在预测期内推动铁矿石球团需求。
复合年增长率最高的地区
由于能源密集型行业对钢铁的高需求以及铁球的成本节约,预计欧洲在预测期内将实现最高的复合年增长率。电动汽车产量的增加、建筑、航空航天和国防、汽车行业的需求以及飞机製造业的复苏预计将推动需求。因此,铁矿石球团的需求预计将增加。
重大发展
2022 年 3 月,ArcelorMittal与 Greenko Group India 建立战略可再生能源合作伙伴关係。
2020年12月,Rio Tinto宣布有意提高铁矿石定价,尤其是钢铁原材料定价。该公告增强了公司的生产能力,并有助于该业务的未来盈利能力。
2020年10月,VALE在多次重启后决定在第三季度提高铁矿石球团矿产量水平。业务扩展有助于增加公司的客户群,从而增加业务的营业额。

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.
