Steel Industry Outlook 2026: Gradual Recovery with Rising Price Potential BY SOOK TRADING
Steel Industry Outlook 2026: Gradual Recovery with Rising Price Potential The year 2026 marks a turning point for the global steel industry. After hitting its lowest point in 2025, the market is entering a “new equilibrium,” with demand gradually recovering and prices showing signs of stable upward movement. Global steel demand is forecast to grow 1.3%, reaching 1,773 million tons. India will be the main driver, with growth of 9% fueled by infrastructure investments in roads, railways, and energy. The United States and Europe are also expected to recover steadily, supported by interest rate cuts, clean energy projects, and the automotive sector—1.8% growth in the US and 3.2% in the EU. China, while still facing a slowdown in real estate, will see demand decline ease to -1%, supported by infrastructure projects and steel exports. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are expected to contribute to diversified demand growth through infrastructure and energy investments. On the pricing side, steel bars (Rebar) are expected to average 16,000–17,000 THB/ton (450–530 USD/MT). Iron ore costs are projected at 83–95 USD/ton, with new supply from Guinea and Australia helping to stabilize input costs. Although trade barriers in the US and EU may keep domestic prices above global levels, the market is moving toward a more stable balance. In Thailand, steel demand is expected to grow modestly, driven by construction and automotive industries, with a base of 16.2 million tons in 2025. However, cheap Chinese steel could account for up to 50% of the market, putting pressure on local producers. Thai businesses must adapt by developing value-added specialty products, enhancing quality standards, and targeting premium and niche export markets such as ASEAN, the Middle East, and Africa.
