Top Factor Driving Direct Reduced Iron Market Growth in 2025: Surging Demand For Steel Products Fuels Growth In The Direct Reduced Iron Market

"How Are the key drivers contributing to the expansion of the direct reduced iron market?
The direct reduced iron market is poised for growth, propelled by the increasing demand for steel products. These products encompass a multitude of items and materials that utilize steel as the main constituent. Direct reduced iron plays a crucial role in steel production, acting as a replacement for scra*p metal and pig iron and hence leading to a decline in greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. Data from the Belgium-based World Steel Association in 2022 indicates that steel demand that year stands at 1840.2 metric tons, a 0.4% increase from the prior year. The forecast also predicts a 2.2% rise in demand in 2023, reaching 1881.4 metric tons. Thus, the surge in demand for steel products is fuelling the expansion of the direct reduced iron market.
