Sustainable (Recycled and Green) Steel Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Product Type (Recycled Steel, and Green Steel); By Technology (Sustainable Steel, Green Steel)), By End-user, By Region, Forecasts, 2024-2031

The Sustainable (Recycled and Green) Steel Market Size was valued at USD 335.4 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 604.3 Bn by 2031 at a 7.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.

Sustainable (recycled and green) steel describes a type of steel that is made without harming the environment. Among these measures is the repurposing of scrap steel into new goods, which reduces energy usage and the demand for raw materials. Several industries are driving market expansion due to more stringent environmental regulations and pushing for more eco-friendly steel-making methods. Also, subsidies and financial incentives for environmentally friendly production processes help businesses expand their customer base by lowering the entry barrier to sustainable operations and increasing demand for sustainable (recycled and green) steel. In addition to promoting sustainability and cost savings, resource efficiency in recycled steel production minimizes the use of raw materials and energy. As a result, sustainable (recycled and green) steel becomes more appealing to producers due to it decreasing production costs while simultaneously reducing environmental effects. It is expected to boost market expansion in the coming years.

However, market expansion is hindered by substantial expenditure on cutting-edge technology and renewable energy infrastructure, scarce scrap steel supplies, and excessive manufacturing costs of sustainable (recycled and green) steel. Furthermore, sustainable (recycled and green) steel has a lot of possibilities because of recent innovations in the material, more substantial government incentives for green manufacturing, and rising consumer demand for environmentally friendly goods. Another factor driving demand is the growing number of sustainable construction projects and green building methods. This market is growing because of rising corporate sustainability initiatives and international attempts to cut carbon emissions, which will increase the demand for the market in the coming years.
