The India iron market import shipments demonstrated a robust growth trend with a high CAGR from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a significant slowdown in growth from the previous year, indicating a potential stabilization or retraction in the market. The overall momentum suggests a mixed outlook for the coming period.
India has the world’s fourth largest iron ore reserves, estimated at around 28 billion tonnes. The country produced about 200 million tonnes of crude steel in fiscal year 2024-21, up from 101.6 million tonnes in FY2024-17, thus making it the 2nd largest producer of crude steel in the world. India is also one of the leading export markets for iron and steel products accounting for close to 8.1% of global exports during 2024-20.
The growth of Indian iron market is largely driven by growing demand from various sectors such as automotive industry, infrastructure sector etc., increasing foreign direct investments (FDI) into India’s manufacturing sector which will lead to capacity expansion and an increase in overall production volume along with government initiatives such as Make In India which aims to promote domestic production & consumption by providing monetary incentives to local manufacturers are some key factors expected to drive growth over forecast period among others.
Despite its huge potential, there exist several challenges that need be addressed effectively if we wish our economy to remain competitive on a global scale like resource constraints due to limited availability of high quality raw materials together with infrastructural bottlenecks like poor transport networks & inadequate logistics facilities have been hampering efficient delivery systems resulting in increased cost associated with transportation hindering smooth trade flow across countries alongside stringent environmental regulations regarding air pollution control may act as another impediment towards rapid development within this domain amongst other restraints worth mentioning here.
• Increasing Investments – With rising demand from end user industries such as automotive & construction coupled with favorable government policies aimed at promoting domestic investment encourages Indian companies venturing into new projects related specifically within this domain henceforth aiding exponential growth over time frame mentioned above .
• Rising Technological Advancement - Emergence of latest technological trends like Artificial Intelligence (AI) , Robotics , Automation backed up by innovations aiming towards higher efficiency pushing forth traditional methods thereby transforming entire value chain bring forth change much needed within metal industry especially Iron Market .
Some major players operating within this space include Tata Steel Ltd., Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL), ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel(AMNS), Kriti Industries Limited etc amongst few others active globally while domestically players involved comprise Essar Steel Ltd., JSW Group, etc..
