Asia-Pacific is the largest and fastest-growing region in the global high strength steels market. Rapid industrialization and infrastructure development offer lucrative growth opportunities to players operating in the high strength steels market. The increasing middle class population, which has led to urbanization and rise in the manufacturing sector, drives the demand of high strength steels in this region. The Asia-Pacific high strength steels market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2021. Economic growth in countries such as China, India, and Taiwan are further propelling the growth of the high strength steels market in the Asia-Pacific region.
High strength low alloy steels (HSLA) segment is leading the global high strength steel market on the basis of type
The HSLA type segment accounted for the largest share of the global high strength steels market, in terms of volume. This large share is primarily attributed to the better mechanical properties exhibited by HSLA as compared to other types of high strength steels. In sheet or plate form, HSLA steels have low carbon content and provide improved weldability as well as good resistance and formability.
