Metal slabs are a semi-finished product that can be further processed into finished products. The metal slabs market in Saudi Arabia is expected to witness moderate growth during the forecast period (2025??2031), driven by the country??s expanding automotive industry, increasing construction activities, and growing demand for sheet metal fabrication. The rising disposable incomes of consumers has also propelled growth in the market as it fuels their willingness to spend more on luxury items such as cars and furniture made out of steel materials.
The major factor driving the metal slabs market in Saudi Arabia is an increased demand from downstream industries, primarily automotive and construction sectors. The rapid expansion of these industries due to government initiatives aimed at diversifying its economy away from oil have led to increased demand for steel products including metal slabs. Additionally, a surge in investment by foreign players coupled with strong economic growth has provided impetus for infrastructure development projects across various regions within Saudi Arabia which have also sparked higher requirements for steel components used in diverse areas such as HVAC systems etc., thus augmenting overall consumption of metal slabs within the Kingdom??s industrial sector over recent years.
The main challenge faced by manufacturers operating within this space relates to raw material supply fluctuation caused due to changing trade policies between countries or imposition of tariffs on imports/exports impacting their production capacities significantly causing uncertainties regarding future supplies & pricing structures related thereto . Furthermore , there are environmental compliance concerns associated with manufacturing process which when not met result in hefty fines charged against companies hampering profitability margins adversely . It is important that manufacturers focus upon maintaining proper safety standards during operation while adhering strictly towards prescribed regulatory guidelines avoiding any underhand practices thereby ensuring smooth operations without disruptions arising from legal proceedings or other issues.
However, Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted global supply chains causing severe delays or complete halt of shipments from foreign countries due to lockdowns imposed by many countries worldwide leading to disruption in production activities resulting into delayed product launches thus hindering industry growth over short term outlook period 2024-21E thereby affecting profit margins significantly till 2022F unless there is any shift seen towards local manufacturing capabilities on large scale basis. Moreover volatile raw material prices along with increase import duties post lockdown can also act as major restraints against long term sustainability of players operating within this industry space especially small ones who rely heavily upon imported products/raw materials/tools etc.,
The key players covered include ArcelorMittal SA , POSCO Co Ltd., Nippon Steel Corporation , SSAB AB , Al Rajhi Steel Industries Co., Tata Steel Limited , Usiminas Metalurgica S A , Jindal Stainless Ltd and Voestalpine AG
