- A wire rod is a long steel product produced by hot rolling billets on continuous rolling mills. It has a round cross-section and is wound up in coils. Wire rods undergo long processing such as heat treatment and wire drawing to take the end-product shape. As years progress, manufacturers are increasingly working on reducing the processing cost involved in this long processing of wire rods. Wire rods are made from material such as carbon steel, aluminum, and copper etc. The wire rods are correctly handled by specific handling and slinging equipment such as cross bars, chain slings, webbing slings, and C hooks to avoid damages. Manufacturers focus on producing these wire rods with high dimensional quality and precision. Additionally, players focus on latest technologies to assure high degree of thermodynamic properties, to achieve finer quality in production.
Rapid increase in construction and infrastructure development activities in developing economies projected to be a driver for the wire rods market
- Rise in usage of wire rods in construction and infrastructure development activities in developing economies such as China, India, and various other Southeast Asian countries is anticipated to be a driving factor for the wire rods market during the forecasted timeline. Furthermore, increase in usage of wire rods in industrial manufacturing, aviation, and the automotive sector etc. is also anticipated to be a driving factor for the market.
