The Merchant Pig Iron market is expected to grow from USD 60,018.28 million in 2022 to USD 145,244.76 million by 2032, at a CAGR of 9.24% during the forecast period 2023-2032.
It is a typical cold-rolled pig iron cast into ingots. Merchant pig iron is generally purchased by third parties as raw materials for the steel foundry industry. It is primarily produced in integrated steel mills or specialized merchant plants. Merchant pig iron is widely used as a raw material for alloy, steel, automotive casting, foundries, and iron-based castings.
Blast furnace steelmaking is one of the major factors driving the merchant pig iron market. There was an increasing demand for steel in developing countries (especially urban cities), which increased the need for merchant pig iron. In addition, the rising need for casting components is boosting the growth of the merchant pig iron market. These casting components are mainly used in the automotive and engineering fields. However, the rising production cost is hampering the market's growth. Additionally, volatile material costs may challenge the growth of the merchant pig iron market during the forecast period.
This study comprehensively analyses type, production facility, end-use industry, and region. The type segment includes foundry pig iron, basic pig iron and high purity pig iron. The basic pig iron segment registered the largest market share in 2022. The basic pig iron is utilized regularly for steel marking in an electric arc furnace. The production facility segment comprises dedicated merchant plants and integrated steel mills. The merchant plants segment held the largest market share in 2022. Merchant pig iron is primarily produced in merchant plants. The end-use industry segment is classified into automotive, engineering and industrial, power generation, pipes and fittings, and others. The engineering and industrial segment generated the highest market revenue in 2022. Merchant pig iron is predominantly used in structural engineering applications. One of the essential aspects of merchant pig iron is that it can be remelted, which helps reduce carbon and silicon content. The final product is more frangible than steel and is ideal for applications such as auto parts, steel furniture, machine parts, engine blocks and tubing.
The market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. The North American region held the highest market revenue in 2022 due to increased urban developments in the United States. Moreover, the growing need for Electric Arc Furnaces drives the market's growth. In addition, the growing automobile, aerospace, and other engineering industries are boosting the region's growth. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow fastest over the forecast period. Growing population, technological advances, and increasing need for raw materials will likely drive the region's growth.
Some of the notable players in the market are Metinvest, PAO Tulachermet, Tronox, Sorelmetal, Benxi Steel, KOBE Steel, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., Marinetime Iron, DXC Technology Company, Baosteel Co., Ltd., Donetsk Metallurgical Holding, Tata Metaliks, DMZ, Metalloinvest MC, Severstal and Industrial Metallurgical Holding among others.
