Steel Rebar Market worth $268.4 billion by 2030
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The report 'Steel Rebar Market by Type (Deformed, Mild), Process (BOS, EAF), Coating Type (Plain, Galvanized, Epoxy Coated), Bar Size (#3, #4, #5, #8), End-use Industry (Infrastructure, Housing & Industrial), and Region – Global Forecast to 2030″, is valued at USD 212.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 268.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.0%. Steel rebars, or reinforcing bars, are high-strength steel rods used to reinforce and strengthen concrete structures. They provide tensile strength to concrete, which is inherently strong in compression but weak in tension. Commonly made from carbon steel, rebars come in various types, such as deformed bars with surface ribs for better grip and plain bars for limited-use cases. Steel rebars are essential in construction projects such as buildings, bridges, highways, and industrial structures, ensuring durability, structural integrity, and resistance to cracking, bending, and environmental stress over time. Browse in-depth TOC on 'Steel Rebar Market'200 – Tables60 – Figures260 – Pages Download PDF Brochure: By end-use sector, the infrastructure segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024. The infrastructure segment accounted for the largest share of the steel rebar market in 2024, based on end-use. This dominance is mainly driven by ongoing and planned investments in major infrastructure projects across both developed and emerging economies. The demand for steel rebars has become nearly essential worldwide, especially as infrastructure development and upgrades are top priorities for most governments, focusing on building highways, bridges, railroad lines, metros, tunnels, airports, and seaports. Countries in Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa are experiencing rapid urbanization and industrialization, leading to the construction of public infrastructure such as metros, water treatment plants, and power transmission systems. Similarly, in North America and Europe, ongoing efforts to renovate aging infrastructure continue to boost demand, with replacement or premium steel rebars enhancing the durability and safety of existing concrete structures. Increased focus on climate-resistant and earthquake-resistant buildings has also driven the use of high-strength, corrosion-resistant reinforcement bars. As a result, infrastructure remains the primary driver of the global steel rebar market. By coating type, the plain carbon steel segment is projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Based on coating type, the plain carbon steel rebar segment is projected to have the highest CAGR from 2025 to 2030, due to its cost efficiency, widespread availability, and easy fabrication. For general construction purposes, plain carbon steel is commonly used where no protective coating or additional corrosion protection is needed. Their dual benefits of affordability and recyclability make them especially attractive for large-scale projects in developing countries, where infrastructure and housing demand are rapidly increasing and financial resources are limited. Additionally, this segment is driven by faster urbanization in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. Plain carbon steel rebars continue to be the standard for residential and low-rise commercial buildings in many of these regions because of their proven performance and low cost. Protective rebar coatings, such as epoxy-coated and galvanized steel rebar, provide better corrosion resistance but are usually reserved for more specialized applications due to their higher costs. Advances in construction methods and improved concrete mixes have extended the lifespan of structures made with plain carbon steel, supporting its sustained high market share and growth potential. Request Sample Pages: Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the market in 2024. The Asia Pacific steel rebar market was the largest in 2024 due to high urbanization rates, extensive infrastructure projects, and substantial government spending in the region. China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam are among the biggest contributors, driven by the construction of transport networks, residential and commercial properties, energy infrastructure, and industrial facilities. The demand continues to grow: Overall, China, the world's top consumer and largest steel producer, remains the major driver of regional steel demand through its extensive urban renewal programs and the Belt and Road Initiative. India, on the other hand, is experiencing a surge in steel rebar consumption because of ambitious government projects such as Smart Cities Mission, Bharatmala, and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which require significant amounts of concrete reinforcement. The increased focus on affordable housing, industrial corridors, and the renewal of public infrastructure is also contributing to the market's growth. Rising FDI, supportive regulations, and expanding local production capacities are further strengthening the region's dominance. APAC is the leading region in the global steel rebar market, and with ongoing economic development, a growing population, and expanding urban infrastructure, Asia Pacific continues to be the primary growth driver for the global steel rebar market. Request Customization: Key Players The steel rebar market major players such as Nippon Steel Corporation (Japan), ArcelorMittal (Luxembourg), Gerdau S/A (Brazil), Nucor Corporation (US), Commercial Metals Company (US), TATA Steel (India), Steel Authority of India Limited (India), Mechel PAO (Russia), Steel Dynamics, Inc.

Yili Representative Attends the 8th Australia-China CEO Roundtable Meeting
BEIJING, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On July 15, the 8th Australia-China CEO Roundtable Meeting was held in Beijing. Liu Chunxi, Senior Executive President of Yili Group, participated and delivered a speech. Liu stated that Australia boasts high-quality agricultural and pastoral resources, along with extensive expertise in dairy cattle breeding, pasture management, and dairy product R&D and manufacturing. Meanwhile, China offers a stable and positive macroeconomic environment, a thriving health food consumption market, and leadership in digitalization and low-carbon technology applications. The two countries' industries are highly complementary, presenting broad prospects for cooperation. Deepening Presence in Australia Yili's collaboration with Australia began in 2016. By leveraging Australia's premium raw material resources and well-established industrial system, Yili has expanded its partnerships with Australian companies across areas including raw material sourcing, dairy farming, dairy technology R&D, and nutritional health products. To date, Yili's total investment and trade volume in Australia has exceeded RMB 3 billion, fostering mutually beneficial development in the China–Australia supply chain and industrial cooperation. In 2024, the ADP factory of Ausnutria, Yili's subsidiary in Australia, obtained a formula registration certificate, becoming the first Australian company granted approval for the full range of infant formula products. This milestone marks a significant breakthrough for Yili's operations in Australia and is expected to greatly enhance the global competitiveness of its infant formula offerings, offering superior quality assurance for maternal and infant health. Yili's Australian subsidiary, Nutrition Care, is a professional, pharmacy-grade nutrition brand. Its flagship product, NC Gastrointestinal Powder, has maintained the top position in China's adult gastrointestinal healthcare compound powder market for several consecutive years. Recently, its probiotic product, NC Seasonal Biotic, also achieved top-selling status among Australian probiotic brands for nasal health. Expanding Global Industrial Footprint In neighboring New Zealand, Yili's business continues to advance steadily. After more than a decade of continuous investment and development, the company's industrial presence in New Zealand now spans the entire value chain, including dairy sourcing, innovative R&D, manufacturing, and brand marketing. Yili operates six production bases and offers a diverse product portfolio ranging from liquid milk, milk powder, butter, cheese, cream, yogurt, lactoferrin, to bovine colostrum. Yili has established partnerships with over 400 local farms, establishing itself as the largest Chinese dairy investor in New Zealand in terms of both scale and scope of cooperation. This strategic layout not only strengthens Yili's position as a key player in the global supply chain but also injects new vitality into the dairy industry across the Australia–New Zealand region, successfully establishing a trans-Pacific dairy corridor. Looking ahead, Yili will continue to uphold an open and collaborative approach, further expanding its global market presence through technological innovation and global resource integration, with the aim of providing consumers worldwide with premium health food and promoting sustainable development across the industry.
