Recent Industry Developments

United States
✅In early 2025, wire-rod prices in the U.S. dropped by around 2.5%, driven by a mismatch between supply and demand as production picked up faster than consumption.

✅By April 2025, supply and demand in the U.S. steel wire rod market had stabilized, helping to maintain more balanced price levels compared to volatile prior months.

✅In August 2025, the U.S. government expanded tariffs on finished steel and aluminum goods including wire by adding a 50% duty on products such as wire imports, putting upward pressure on domestic wire rod supply chains and material costs.

Japan
✅Japan's hot-rolled stainless steel wire rod coil market is projected to grow at a modest CAGR of +0.8% in volume (and +3.2% in value) through to 2035, reflecting stable but slow demand in wire-rod applications.

✅Amid weak domestic demand and increased import competition, Japanese wire-rod manufacturers are reportedly offering discounts to secure orders and maintain utilization.

✅Japan's wire-rod market is also navigating cost pressures from imported coil and weaker construction demand, prompting local mills to reassess production strategies.

Regional Insights

➥The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is the largest and fastest-growing market for steel wire rod and steel wire. The growth is primarily driven by rapid industrialization and urbanization in countries such as China and India, coupled with large-scale infrastructure projects in transportation, housing, and utilities. A strong domestic steel manufacturing base makes wire-rod usage cost-effective, while the expanding automotive sector is increasing demand for specialty wire rods. APAC holds a significant portion of the global market, with a projected CAGR of approximately 4.2-7.3% over the forecast period. However, environmental regulations and volatility in raw material prices pose challenges to market growth.

➥In North America, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.1% from 2023 to 2030. Growth is fueled by infrastructure modernization in construction and transport sectors, as well as demand from industrial manufacturing, including machinery and energy sectors. The automotive industry also continues to support demand for wire rod in components. The market faces risks from competition with lower-cost imports and potential impacts of trade policies and tariffs on supply and pricing.

➥Europe accounts for roughly 16% of the global steel wire rod market. The region experiences strong demand for specialty wire rod grades, particularly in automotive and mechanical engineering sectors. Sustainability initiatives and investments in decarbonization are shaping production strategies. However, high production costs due to strict environmental regulations and competition from lower-cost Asian producers present ongoing challenges.

➥In Latin America, the market represents about 8-9% of global demand. The region's growth is supported by significant investments in transportation, housing, and public infrastructure, as well as industrial expansion in sectors such as mining and machinery. Cost-effective local steel production also supports regional demand. Political and economic instability, along with commodity price volatility, are key risks to market stability.

➥The Middle East & Africa (MEA) region accounts for around 6% of the global steel wire rod market. Large-scale infrastructure projects in GCC countries, industrial diversification into manufacturing and construction sectors, and mining activities in Africa are driving demand. Supply chain risks due to political instability or logistical challenges and limited local production capacity, which increases reliance on imports, are the main challenges in the region.
