MARKET INTRODUCTION
Weathering steel refers to high strength low alloy steel, which under normal atmospheric pressure, provides greater resistance to rust than normal low carbon steel grades. Usually, this steel has less than 0.3 percent of carbon by weight, which allows it to stay strong and ductile. Weathering steel is commonly used in infrastructure, signposts, highway guardrails, buildings, and bridges. It provides enhanced protection by eliminating the need for a protective paint system and a long life span and lowers total life-cycle costs.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The increase in demand for steel materials for bridge construction is expected to be the driving force of the weathering steel market during the forecast period. Moreover, weathering steel provides a long life cycle, increased corrosion resistance, and low maintenance features, making it the perfect material for use in bridge construction applications, which will further propel its demand in the market. The increase in capital expenditure on infrastructure construction due to strong economic growth and population growth in both developing and developed countries is expected to fuel the global weathering steel sector. Weathering steel is appealing in nature and has a long shelf life, which will further fuel demand growth. However, the use of weathering steel in areas where concentrations of corrosive chemicals or industrial fumes are high may have an effect on its properties. This factor is expected to limit the global demand for weathering steel during the forecast period.
