Steel Wire: A Global Strategic Business Report
San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 15, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn – Produced from wire rods, a finished long steel product, steel wire finds use in several end-use sectors. Construction, machinery and automotive markets especially present significant opportunities for use of steel wire. Steel wires are also used in a range of infrastructure constructions such as suspension bridges, which are hung using steel ropes spun with thousands of steel wires bound together. Steel wires also find use for general engineering applications in machinery and heavy equipment. In the automotive industry, steel wires are used for reinforcing tires to add to their strength and durability.
The construction sector is one of the most prominent end-use markets for steel wire. Strong recovery in the construction industry in the United States after years of slowdown, and steady gains in construction spending in developing countries including BRIC, are expected to benefit demand in the near term. The construction sector typically uses steel wires not only in its primary wire form but also in various other forms such as wire mesh, strands and wire ropes to impart structural strength to concrete structures. Steel wire mesh forms the critical backbone of all modern reinforced cement concrete constructions. Steel wire mesh imparts significant degree of strengthening to the concrete column structure and allows it to support weight of much higher capacities. Additionally, steel binding wires are used to bind and fabricate complex skeletal steel structures for building piers of a high-rise multi-storied building, bridge or flyovers.
Steel wire is of critical importance in automotive manufacturing and is commonly used for reinforcing tires, and in manufacturing a range of components for exhaust, drivetrain, steering wheel, seating and vehicle door systems. The projected increase in automobile production and sales in the coming years, particularly in developing countries such as China and India, is therefore expected to benefit demand for steel wire in this sector. Increasing activity in the Oil & Gas sector is also expected to spur market growth. Steel wire finds mission critical use in this sector as drilling lines, geophysical cable, offshore mooring ropes and electromechanical cable. Migration to offshore drilling is poised to benefit demand for offshore steel wire for mooring and anchoring, towing, and lifting applications.
As stated by the new market research report on Steel Wire, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing regional market worldwide with a CAGR of 7.6% over the analysis period. Growth in the region is driven by economic development, industrialization, rapid urbanization, steady gains in construction spending, rise in automobile production, and continued strengthening of manufacturing activity in China, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea and Indonesia.
