Market Growth Factors

South Africa's steel tubes market is poised to grow due to increased infrastructure development and urbanization. Government projects in transport networks, water distribution and supply systems, energy generation and distribution stations, and urban infrastructure often involve the use of steel tubes such as pipes and tubes. The rapid urbanization of the major metropolitan areas has generated demand for housing and development of commercial buildings, using tubes for construction and infrastructure. The government's push to modernize transport corridors and improve access to basic services is driving the demand, both in the public and private sectors. Despite the possibility of future downsizing, large-scale long-term commitments have ensured a strong outlook for steel tubes, as an important component of bridging infrastructure gaps and enabling economic connectivity.

Mining activity increases steel tubes demand, while tubes are also employed heavily in mining and mineral processing for transporting fluids, as structural members, and equipment support. The mineral wealth of South Africa places a heavy demand on the availability of steel tubes for the transportation of slurries, water and gases in the harsh conditions of underground and surface mining. Growth and modernization of the mines requires considerable investment and requires high-strength and corrosion resistant tubes for efficiency and safety. The demand for this sector is maintained by this sector's recovery and expansion and by the application of specialist abrasion resistant grades of tube. The sector is part of a resource-based economic growth.

As more attention has been paid to innovative energy options, demand has increased for steel tubes in oil and gas applications, as well as new renewable projects. Hydrocarbon pipeline networks and power generation-and-transmission systems require tubing capable of maintaining high pressures and carrying various liquids and gases. Due to the transition of energy to renewables, tubes are useful in the construction of solar, wind or other similar plants. Energy savings and energy security are the short-term drivers for energy efficiency improvements through all stages of the energy supply chain from exploration to processing through to distribution.
