Austenitic Stainless Steel Market: Introduction
- Austenitic stainless steel consists of 16%–30% of chromium and 2%–20% of nickel, which provides high surface quality, formability, and increased resistance to corrosion and wear. It is the most popular grade of the stainless steel produced, owing to its excellent formability and corrosion resistance.
- Austenitic stainless steel is non-magnetic in nature and it is widely used in automotive trims, cookware, food and beverage equipment, processing equipment, and a variety of industrial applications
Key Drivers of Global Austenitic Stainless Steel Market
- The global automotive industry is growing, especially in well-established geographies such as the U.S., Europe, South Korea, and Japan. This growth is attributable to factors such as rise in the number of electric vehicles as a result of growing efforts to curb air pollution and government initiatives in developing countries such as India to encourage foreign direct investments (FDIs) in the local automotive industry.
- Manufacturers are focusing on making the vehicle design more robust as well as light to enhance fuel efficiency as well as safety of the vehicle. In order to achieve this and satisfy the vehicle pollution norms set by various governments, manufacturers are using austenitic stainless steel for manufacture of automotive components. Furthermore, austenitic stainless steel comes with advanced manufacturability, robustness, and metallurgical properties. This enables vehicle manufacturers to make lightweight and robust vehicles. Growing use of austenitic stainless steel in the global automotive industry is projected to have a high positive impact on the global austenitic stainless steel market in the next few years.
