Global Direct Reduced Iron Market: Key Takeaways

  • The Asia Pacific region to gain the largest share of the revenue in the year 2022
  • The MIDREX segment to dominate the revenue graph
  • Construction sub-segment remains prominent in the application segment

Growing Demand for Automotive Vehicles across the Globe to Boost the Market Growth

A direct reduced iron (DRI) also referred to as sponge iron is produced by reducing iron ore directly into iron through the use of a reducing gas, such as natural gas or coal, or even by the use of elemental carbon, such as carbon dioxide. Moreover, the production of high-grade steel, awareness of CO2 emission control, GDP growth, increasing infrastructure expenditure, along with expansion of iron and steel industry are anticipated to drive global direct reduced iron market growth over the forecast period. Sponge iron or DRI is also used widely in automotive manufacturing industry, which is growing rapidly throughout the years. Revenue of worldwide automotive manufacturing industry was sized at approximately USD 2.9 trillion in 2021 and it is estimated to increase significantly over the forecast period. Hence, this is anticipated to add to the global direct reduced iron market’s growth significantly.

In addition to this, production of direct reduced iron has been increasing around the world throughout the years. It was observed that approximately 104 million tons (Mt) of direct reduced iron (DRI) were produced worldwide in 2020. Moreover, globally growing urbanization and industrialization is also expected to be a major factor to add to the growth of the global direct reduced iron market. Statistics provided by The World Bank indicate that approximately 4.5 million people reside in urban areas, representing 57% of the total population. Hence, this is also estimated to influence the global direct reduced iron market’s growth majorly.

Global Direct Reduced Iron Market: Regional Overview

The global direct reduced iron market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa region.

Increasing Expansion Rate of Construction Industry to Propel Market in the Asia Pacific Region

The direct reduced iron market in the Asia Pacific region captured the largest market share of 40% in the year 2022 backed by the expansion of the construction industry in the region. For instance, according to estimates, by the end of 2025, the construction industry in India is expected to reach a total value of USD 1.3 trillion. Moreover, increasing steel production, along with demand for DRI from various industries such as automotive and aerospace are factors expected to drive the direct reduced iron market in the region during the forecast period. Moreover, government support to expand the chemical industry in the region is further expected to drive the market in the region during the forecast period. For instance, within the Union Budget 2022-23, the Indian government allocated approximately USD 27 million to the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals.

Increasing Disposable Income Per Capita Regional Population to Propel the Market in the North America Region

On the other hand, the direct reduced iron market in the North America region is estimated to grow with a notable CAGR over the projection period. This growth can be primarily ascribed to the presence of a significant number of automotive manufacturers, and rising sales of vehicles in the region. Additionally, the expanding number of activities in the region that use direct reduced iron, such as vehicle manufacturing, chemical industrial work, and others, and increasing disposable income per capita throughout the region are anticipated to accelerate market growth. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in March 2021, the disposable income per capita in North America region was USD 57,597 and this is anticipated to increase more over the forecast period.

Global Direct Reduced Iron Market, Segmentation by Process

  • MIDREX
  • Coal Based
  • Others

The MIDREX segment held the largest market size of 55% in the year 2022 in the global direct reduced iron market. The MIDREX direct reduction ironmaking process uses natural gas to reduce iron ore. Moreover, the increasing use of DRI as a raw material in the manufacturing of electric arc furnaces (EAFs) in place of scrap iron is expected to augment segment growth over the forecast period. MIDREX process is the most used process in DRI production across the globe. For instance, the MIDREX Process was responsible for nearly 61% of all DRI produced globally, and 80% of all gas-based DRI as of 2019.
