Market Scenario

Tool Steel refers to a wide range of carbon and alloy steels that are well-suited to be converted into tools. Tool steels are known for their hardness, deformation and resistance to abrasion. One of the key growth drivers of tool steel market are the increase in the demand for tool steels for manufacturing various cutting tools, such as tool bits, drills, taps, gear cutters, saw blades, planers, jointer blades, milling cutters, router bits, punches, and dies. Tool steel provides certain benefits such as high resistance to wear, good thermal conductivity and good hardenability, cost-effective machinability and excellent polishing and acid-treatment properties. These properties make tool steel, suitable for use in various end use industries including automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering, power-generation, aviation, food and packaging industries, structural and civil engineering and mining, thereby driving the growth of the market.

Industry News

In March, 2016 – Two big players in steel Arcelor Mittal and Tata Steel made an announcement to have an acquisition. With this acquisition, the Asia Pacific steel market will achieve a new platform to grab the Indian as well other market. Moreover, with this, the tool steel market will also be benefitted as steel is one of the major raw material used in the production process.

In June, 2016 – Tokyo-based Hitachi Metals acquired Diehl Steel Company. Under this acquisition, all the assets of Diehl Steel Company transferred to a subsidiary of Hitachi Metal Americas, LLC, which is a special producer and distributor or steel. This acquisition will allow both the companies to deliver higher value to their customer in both the regions.

Both the developments have created a significant impact in the North America market. However, this will be a positive signal for the tool steel market to get more demand from the North America market.
