Europe records an upsurge in partnership agreements
Europe accounted for nearly 45% of the overall coated steel market share in 2020. The regional industry is expected to register considerable growth on account of an increase in collaborative agreements. Citing an example, Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe and Japan’s JFE Steel Corporation jointly rolled out a new 980 and 1180MPa class high-strength steel for the purpose of cold forming.
The products provide higher ductility and yield strength, further contributing to the weight reduction of the automobile body frame. An increase in similar advancements is expected to proliferate the demand for steel coating for enabling the development of superior products.
Rising establishment of color coated steel facilities
The industry has recorded an upsurge in the establishment of color-coated steel facilities. Considering an instance, in October 2021, JSW Steel planned to set up a modern color-coated steel manufacturing unit with a capacity of 120,000 tons per annum in tandem with special lines for the production of steel doors and steel sandwich panels for the Indian territories of Jammu and Kashmir. In addition to offering employment opportunities, the unit will provide a range of benefits to local businesses.
An upsurge in such steps by leading coated steel manufacturers is expected to drive business growth over 2021-2027.
Launch of galvanizing lines
Various companies are depicting a keen interest in the launch of galvanizing lines for the rollout of superior products. One such instance is the ANDRITZ one-of-a-kind galvanizing line. As claimed by the company, it generates high-strength coated solutions for the automotive industry and has a capacity of 500,000 t/y.
The company engineered the mechanical equipment, supplying automation and electrical equipment and providing on-site commissioning and installation services. Such initiatives are expected to drive industry expansion over the forthcoming years.
