Steel Rebar Market to Reach 201.56 Million Tons by 2031 as Infrastructure Spending and Low-Carbon Steelmaking Drive Demand, Reports Mordor Intelligence
HYDERABAD, India, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to recent report from Mordor Intelligence, global steel rebar market is estimated at 152.96 million tons in 2026, with volume expected to reach 201.56 million tons by 2031, registering a 5.67% CAGR. Growth in the global steel rebar industry is supported by infrastructure projects, building upgrades, and the shift toward lower-carbon EAF steelmaking. Asia-Pacific remains the largest consumer, while North America and the Middle East are witnessing rising demand from energy and manufacturing projects. Sustainability, corrosion-resistant rebar, and localized production are also shaping the competitive landscape.
Steel Rebar Market Emerging Trends & Developments
Pressure from Raw Material Price Fluctuations
Changing iron ore and scrap prices continue to put pressure on steelmakers' margins. Lower iron ore prices can benefit integrated mills, while limited supplies of quality scrap can increase costs for EAF producers. Differences in subsidies and regional raw material availability also create uneven competitive conditions.
Growing Interest in FRP Reinforcement
Fibre-reinforced polymer bars are gaining attention in coastal construction because they resist corrosion and can reduce long-term maintenance needs. Improvements in hybrid FRP materials and design standards are helping expand their use in bridges, seawalls, and other high-salinity applications.
Continued Dominance of Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced concrete remains widely used across construction projects due to its strength, flexibility, and established supply chains. Digital design tools, automated rebar fabrication, and sensor-based monitoring are improving construction efficiency while creating new opportunities for steel producers and fabricators.
