The global electrical steel market is expected to experience substantial growth in the upcoming years, with an estimated value of USD 40.6 billion in 2023 and a projected value of USD 60.7 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.4%. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market, including electrical steel market size, trends, drivers and constraints, competitive aspects, and prospects for future growth. Electrical steel, also known as transformer steel and silicon steel, is a specialized type of steel designed to increase magnetic flux density while maintaining low core loss and high permeability. It is manufactured as cold-rolled strips with a thickness of less than 2mm, which are laminated and stacked together to form a core. Electrical steel is used extensively in transformers, motors, and inductors. Recent technological advancements have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of electrical steel, making it an attractive option for manufacturers. However, the market is constrained by stringent safety requirements that may not be feasible for all manufacturers. Despite this, the demand for electrical steel in the power sector offers significant growth opportunities for the market.

The segmentation considered for this report is based on the types, applications, end-use industries, and regions.
The market has been segmented based on end-use industry into energy, automotive, manufacturing, household appliances, and others. The automotive end-use industry accounted for the 3rd largest share of the electrical steel market during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing demand for transformers in developing countries. Electrical steel is used in functional automotive components, such as fuel pumps and electric power steering. It is also used as a core material and precision motor part for motors and actuators to improve the comfort, power performance, and fuel economy of automobiles. Moreover, electrical steel sheets are used for cores of traction motors of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles. The use of electrical steel in motors makes them small, light, powerful, and efficient. Thus, the demand for electrical sheets in the automotive industry is increasing. The use of electrical steel results in low iron losses and higher performance of motors, thus helping in the global environmental protection and meeting the needs of advanced automotive manufacturers.
The electrical steel market, by application, has been segmented into transformers, motors, inductors, and others. Others include batteries and welding equipment. In terms of value, the motors segment accounted for largest share during the forecast period. Motors are made of motor laminations created using electrical steel. Electrical steel has silicon in it, which increases its electrical resistance, improves the ability of magnetic fields to penetrate it, and reduces the steel’s hysteresis loss. The addition of silicon to steel using which motors are made makes the steel more efficient and faster in terms of building and maintaining magnetic fields. Thus, silicon steel helps in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the magnetic core, which is the major component in motors.
The electrical steel market, by type, has been segmented into grain-oriented and non-grain-oriented. In terms of value, grain-oriented electrical steel accounted for a 2nd largest share of electrical steel market during the forecast period. Grain-oriented electrical steel is highly preferred for use in transformers (small, medium, and large), generators, and other applications. Grain-oriented electrical steel contributes to energy conservation and suppression of increased external size and mass of the equipment. A coating with an electrical insulating property, called an insulating coating, is provided on the surface of grain-oriented electrical steel. This insulating coating also imparts tension to the steel sheet, which contributes to the improvement of iron loss in its characteristics. In terms of future technical development, the companies are expected to supply even better grain-oriented electrical steel by promoting the improvement of magnetic domain-refining technologies, improvement of the alignment of crystal orientation, increased electrical resistance of steel sheets, and development of thinner gauge products.
