The global direct reduced iron market size accounted for USD 28,198 million in 2024 and is predicted to touch around USD 59,207 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2024 to 2034.
The direct reduced iron market is vital for steel manufacturing, as it is a premium substitute for traditional iron sources. Direct reduced iron is an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient alternative since it is produced from iron ore using natural gas or coal. It is widely used in electric arc and basic oxygen furnaces to create high-quality steel. The rising demand for steel in the construction, automotive, and infrastructure industries is one of the main drivers of the direct reduced iron market expansion.
The market is facing several obstacles. Restrictions include the high capital investments needed for direct reduced iron plants and their dependency on coal or natural gas. Additionally, production can be affected by the low availability of high-grade iron ore in certain regions. However, the development of hydrogen-based reduction technologies presents future prospects for lowering carbon emissions. The direct reduced iron market is expected for long-term expansion, as industries prioritize sustainability and governments implement stricter environmental regulations in the manufacturing of low-carbon steel.
