Global Hollow Structural Sections Market By Type (Rectangular Hollow Section, Square Hollow Section, Circular Hollow Section and Others); By Application (Agricultural, Construction, General Engineering, Mechanical Application and Others) and Region -Analysis of Market Size, Share and Trends for 2014 - 2019 and Forecasts to 2030
Structural steel is a steel category used in the building industry and is welded in different shapes and grades. It takes shapes and the appearance of an elongated beam with various cross-sectional types. Its shapes, sizes, chemical composition, and properties are governed by most countries by a standard set by agencies and organizations. These products exhibit superior properties including high strength, ductility, manufacturing ease, seismic resistance, and rapid speed of erection. In non-residential construction, structural steel finds immense applications including airports, manufacturing facilities, health-care facilities, and retail stores.
Growing residential and non-residential construction activities and development demand for steel products as building materials will promote growth for the hollow structural sector industry. Rising infrastructure spending on roads, bridges, buildings, and public services would complement the overall market value of structural steel. The upsurge in government-supported and private-financed smart city programs would increase product utilization. Additionally, advanced building technologies like 3D printing and business information modeling are gaining rapid popularity in the engineering and construction sectors. This development is also expected to have a positive impact on the demand for structural steel in industrial buildings in the years ahead.

By type, the market can be segmented into rectangular hollow sections, square hollow sections, circular hollow sections, and others. In a rectangular hollow section, zinc-coating covers the entire surface. It comes in a variety of wall heights and thicknesses and is widely used in frame manufacturing, in commercial and domestic construction, and in handyman gate and posting projects where rust resistance is necessary and thus is expected to dominate the segment.
The application segment can be classified into agricultural, construction, general engineering, mechanical application, and others. Urbanization and construction provide strong demand for long steel products including bars and parts, while manufacturing industry development provides demand for flat products such as hot and cold rolled coils and stainless steel, which is likely to have a positive impact on the market share of structural steel. Thus, the construction segment is expected to dominate the application segments.
Growing residential and non-residential construction activities and development demand for steel products as building materials will promote growth for the hollow structural sector industry. Rising infrastructure spending on roads, bridges, buildings, and public services would complement the overall market value of structural steel. The upsurge in government-supported and private-financed smart city programs would increase product utilization. Builders rely on the quality of the construction materials to create a solid building foundation. Increasing use of the product in the construction of residential buildings will have a positive impact on market trends in structural steel. Increasing the construction of lightweight industrial building systems using thin sheet covered surfaces is a recent technological development that drives the demand for high-resistance structural steel. Additionally, advanced building technologies like 3D printing and business information modeling are gaining rapid popularity in the engineering and construction sectors. This development is also expected to have a positive impact on the demand for structural steel in industrial buildings in the years ahead.
Structural steel requires costly, fireproof treatment and is susceptible to corrosion in outdoor environments. This can somewhat hamper the growth of the industry.
Growing residential construction worldwide due to increasing income levels and urbanization in the APAC region has led to increased building projects. Builders rely on the quality of the construction materials to create a solid building foundation. Increasing use of the product in the construction of residential buildings will have a positive impact on market trends in structural steel.
The region segment can be further divided into five major types including North America, Latin America, Europe, APAC, and MENA.
