Steel bars are widely used across construction sector for varied purposes. Some purposes need high tensile strength steel bars and some need low tensile strength steel bars, Commercial and government projects need twisted steel bars as they can conceive more weight as their tensile strength is highest. Increasing number of construction projects across Latin is one of the prime factors for rising demand of steel bars.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The Latin America is still suffering through an unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak posing social, health, and economic emergency. National trade, travel and tourism, e-commerce, customer care, and consumer products are some of the severely affected sectors due to COVID-19 outbreak in Latin America.

Growth Factors

Government initiatives go a long way in making a country self-sufficient and competitive in terms of export. Population growth in emerging economies has led to mass migration, exerting an enormous strain on the existing urban infrastructure. In order to deal with this, country governments have started providing soft loans to spur investment and FDI in the respective country's construction and industrial sectors. As steel bars are widely used in construction activities, increasing government investments and the rising demand for building and construction drive the demand for steel bars across Latin America.

The mining industry significantly contributes to a nation's economy. In Latin America, the mining industry had a positive outlook during 2014–2016 and is expected to flourish against a backdrop of upcoming projects in Brazil, Argentina, and other countries in Latin America. With increasing international trading activities in the last few years, Latin American seaborne trade has observed massive expansion majorly supported by the 2017 upswing in the world economy. Expanding at a rate of 4%, the fastest growth in five years, global maritime trade gathered momentum, wherein the total volume has reached 11 billion tons, as reported by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). As per to the UNCTAD, over 80% of global trade by volume and more than 70% of its value is carried on ships and handled by ports worldwide, which is expected to benefit Latin American trade routes and ports.

Type Analysis Preview

Deformed segment held a share of around 76.97% in 2020. Hot rolled deformed bars is one kind of reinforcing steel bars. Its surface commonly has ribs which has three kinds of shape: crescent, spiral, and herringbone. Hot rolled deformed bars with high strength can be directly used in reinforced concrete structure and also can be used as pre-stressed reinforcing bar after cold drawing. Because of its great flexibility, it is widely used in many construction sectors including commercial, residential, and industrial. It has minimum crack width, desired flexibility, high fatigue resistance, and high bonding strength features and has a wide array of applications including reinforced concrete slabs, refabricated beams, construction industry, residential and building structures, cages, and columns.

Process Segment Analysis Preview

Electric Arc Furnace segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 1.3% from 2021 to 2028. This process involves refractory lined and tiltable basic oxygen furnace (BOF) converter into which a vertically movable and water-cooled lance is inserted to blow oxygen through nozzles at supersonic velocity onto the charge. To refine 1 charge, only about 20 minutes are required per heat as the use of pure oxygen at high flow rates results in fast oxidation of elements contained in blast furnace iron. Commercial advantages of using pure oxygen instead of air in refining pig iron into steel such as less labor, steel with a low nitrogen content, and high production rates were recognized long back.

Regional Analysis Preview

Brazil held a share of 28.09% in 2020. Latin America is one of the fastest growing and revolutionizing markets across the globe. Due to fast urbanization in this modern world, raw material manufacturers, industrial manufacturers are entering the market and also moving their manufacturing hubs to Latin America. This scenario has increased demand for steel bars in the manufacturing sector of Latin America.
