The metallic coated steel segment is expected to reach over USD 63.4 billion by 2032. Metal coatings, such as zinc and aluminum increase corrosion resistance, making them ideal for applications in the construction, automotive and industrial industries. The longevity and durability of metal coated steels help reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of buildings and components, subsequently increasing their acceptability. Furthermore, the aesthetics and advanced technical properties of coated steel meets the stringent requirements of present building design and automotive standards. As industries prioritize coated steel, it is expected to be supported by continuous advances in coating technologies and sustainable practices, driving the segment growth.
The building and construction segment is expected to record a revenue of more than USD 49 billion by 2032. Coated steel is widely used in roofing, cladding and building materials due to its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, reduce maintenance costs and increase the longevity of buildings. Innovations in coating technology have expanded the range of available colors and finishes, making metal coatings an attractive choice for modern architectural applications. Additionally, the light weight and ease of installation of coated metals is contributing to faster construction timelines and lower costs. As the construction industry increasingly prioritizes sustainability and efficiency, the demand for coated metals is set to increase, in line with green building standards and energy efficiency of alignment goals.
Asia Pacific coated steel market size recorded over USD 23 billion in 2023 and will surpass USD 35 billion by the end of 2032. Countries, such as China, India and Japan are recording higher product penetration due to heavy investments in construction, automotive and manufacturing sectors. Population growth and rising disposable incomes in these countries are driving the demand for durable and aesthetically pleasing building materials, including coated metals. In addition, government initiatives promoting sustainable and resilient infrastructure are emphasizing the adoption of steel coating to offer corrosion resistance and durability. Technological advances in coverage and availability of cost-effective manufacturing processes will further support the regional market expansion.
