Global Ferritic Stainless Steel Market Outlook
Chem Reports estimates that the global Ferritic Stainless Steel market was valued at USD xxxx units in 2024 and is expected to reach USD xxxx units by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of xx% during the forecast period 2025–2035.
Ferritic stainless steel is a class of chromium-based stainless steels characterized by excellent corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, magnetic properties, and cost efficiency due to low or zero nickel content. These materials are widely used across automotive exhaust systems, construction, machinery, appliances, electrical & electronic components, and industrial equipment. Growing emphasis on cost optimization, lightweight materials, and sustainability continues to support demand for ferritic grades over austenitic alternatives.
The Global Ferritic Stainless Steel Market Report 2020 presents a comprehensive assessment of market size, historical performance, and future growth potential. The study is based on extensive primary and secondary research, evaluating government industrial policies, infrastructure development, automotive production trends, technological advancements in steelmaking, and competitive dynamics to forecast market evolution through 2035.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Ferritic Stainless-Steel Market
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the ferritic stainless-steel market in 2020 due to temporary shutdowns of steel plants, disruptions in raw material supply chains, and reduced demand from automotive, construction, and industrial sectors.
However, the market demonstrated gradual recovery as manufacturing activities resumed and demand rebounded from automotive production, infrastructure development, home appliances, and industrial equipment manufacturing. Post-pandemic focus on cost-effective and recyclable materials further reinforced the role of ferritic stainless steel in downstream applications.

Executive Summary — Global Ferritic Stainless-Steel Market
Chem Reports estimates the global ferritic stainless steel market at USD xxxx in 2024, with a projected rise to USD xxxx by 2035 at a CAGR of xx% (2025–2035). Ferritic grades—characterized by chromium-based corrosion resistance, magnetic behavior and low/zero nickel content—are increasingly preferred where cost, recyclability and adequate corrosion resistance matter (automotive exhausts, appliances, construction, certain industrial equipment). Growth drivers include emission-control component demand in automotive, infrastructure and construction activity in emerging economies, and substitution pressure on nickel-containing austenitic grades due to cost and supply volatility. Key near-term constraints are raw-material price swings, energy costs for steelmaking, and stringent product-performance requirements in high-end applications.

Threats
Porter’s Five Forces — Ferritic Stainless Steel Market
1. Threat of New Entrants — Low to Moderate
High capital intensity, established production technologies, long customer qualification cycles and regulatory/compliance barriers protect incumbents. Niche entrants can arise where scrap/mini-mill models lower capex barriers.
2. Bargaining Power of Suppliers — Moderate
Suppliers of key feedstocks (chromium, alloying elements, energy) can influence costs; large steelmakers mitigate this by vertical integration and long-term contracts.
3. Bargaining Power of Buyers — High
Large OEMs (automotive, appliance manufacturers, construction contractors) purchase at scale and can demand specification, delivery and price concessions; switching costs are moderate when qualification is required.
4. Threat of Substitutes — Moderate
Substitutes include coated carbon steel, duplex or advanced austenitic grades; substitution depends on required mechanical/ corrosion performance versus cost.
5. Competitive Rivalry — High
Market populated by global integrated producers and regional mills competing on cost, grade qualification, processing services and service levels. Price competition is intense in commoditized thickness/grade segments.
