Green Steel Market By Production Technology (Molten Oxide Electrolysis, Electric Arc Furnace) By Energy Source (Wind Energy, Solar Energy) By End-User (Automotive & Transportation, Building and Construction, Electronic Industrial Equipment) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Regional Outlook, and Forecast 2023-2031
The global green steel market size was estimated at USD 196.84 million in 2022 and it is projected to hit around USD 6,24,415.85 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 124% between 2023 and 2031.
Green steel industry demand has risen in the last year as a result of innovative branded products launched by steelmakers in Europe and the United States that provide consumers with a carbon-efficient alternative while utilizing available capacities. Green steel is being purchased by public and private steel buyers in the construction, automotive, and metal products sectors. This includes the First Movers Coalition and CEM Industrial Deep Decarbonization initiatives.
According to the World Steel Association, the production of 1860 million tonnes of steel released approximately 1.85 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. Green steel production has increased as a result of rising industrial emissions from various steel products, prompting organizations to form alliances and strategies with private steelmakers.
Furthermore, because green steel is produced entirely from renewable sources such as green hydrogen, the burgeoning R&D in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and hydrogen-powered automobiles has a positive impact on green steel technological advancement. Furthermore, some Asian countries, such as China, South Korea, New Zealand, and others, are currently using FCEVs made by Toyota, Hyundai, and others. They also plan to use green hydrogen in their vehicles in the coming years, fueling global green steel growth.
Impact of COVID-19:
COVID-19 has harmed the global green steel industry, particularly in the power and energy sectors. The pandemic also had an impact on steel product export and import in all regions, resulting in a decrease in green steel supply. Green steel demand fell by about 12%-14% during the COVID-19 period.
Steel consumption has decreased during the pandemic, according to current green steel demand conditions in the majority of developing countries. Several large industries involved in green steel manufacturing have faced numerous challenges.
The post-pandemic scenario, on the other hand, has already increased both technological advancement and the green transition. Following COVID-19, developing economies like China are expected to accelerate the normalization of economic activity across sectors. This will increase demand for green steel products as well as imports of green steel.

Market Dynamics:
Market Drivers
Increasing CO2 emissions Over the last decade, total carbon dioxide emissions from the steel and iron sector have increased, owing primarily to increases in steel consumption and the energy required for production. Significant CO2 emissions reductions are required to achieve the Net Zero Scenario. Carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced in the short term primarily through increased energy efficiency and scrap collection, allowing for more scrap-based production.
Significant reductions in emissions intensity will necessitate the implementation of new technologies such as electricity-based production, hydrogen utilization, and CCUS. Green Steel initiatives are expected to reduce CO2 emissions.
Green steel is expected to play an important role in assisting nations around the world in meeting their long-term development goals and lowering their carbon footprints. Green steel is essential for reducing countries' reliance on energy imports, protecting the environment, and meeting the world's growing energy demands. Furthermore, the production of steel emits a significant amount of CO2. As a result, governments around the world are expanding decarbonization strategies and promoting green steel, particularly in industries such as automotive and construction.
Market Restraints
The primary challenge in the global green steel market has been a lack of understanding of carbon accounting calculations, as forecasting the levels of carbon tax during the manufacturing process is extremely difficult. This, in turn, is delaying the process of recognizing green steel, despite the fact that only a small percentage of Northern European companies will be producing fossil-fuel-free steel by 2022.
SMS groups and other industries have developed a few digital tools. Nonetheless, companies have found it difficult in recent years to quantify the number of CO2 emissions from various processes of a complete manufacturing unit. As a result, market development is hampered when original equipment manufacturers are unable to demonstrate emission-free products.
Market opportunities
Regional Analysis
Europe is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR between 2023 and 2032. The steel industry, according to the European Commission, accounts for approximately 5% of CO2 emissions in the region and 7% globally, which is a significant concern that must be addressed in order to meet carbon emission targets. To address this, the European Union is implementing a long-term strategy aimed at achieving a climate-neutral Europe by 2050, which will benefit the region's green steel market.
In accordance with this, many steel manufacturers in Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Norway, and other countries are implementing effective clean steel-making solutions to support carbon-neutral targets.
North America is also a hugely profitable market for green steel in the region. In recent years, the green steel industry in the United Kingdom has grown as a result of increased investments and offtake partnerships among new companies to meet new business strategies.
