The global hot rolled steel coil market size reached 302.1 Million Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 448.95 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 4.5% during 2023-2032.
- The expanding construction industry including infrastructure development and residential projects is driving the demand for hot rolled steel coils. These coils are essential for structural components, beams, and columns due to their durability and strength which is influencing the market growth. According to IBEF, by 2040, the real estate market will grow to rupees 65,000 crore (US$ 9.30 billion) from rupees 12,000 (US$ 1.72 billion) crore in 2019. The real estate sector in India is expected to reach US dollar one trillion in market size by 20-30, up from US$ 200 billion in 2021, and contribute 13% to the country's GDP by 2025 retail, hospitality, and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for India's growing needs. India’s real estate sector is expected to expand to US$ 5.8 trillion by 2047, contributing 15.5% to the GDP from an existing share of 7.3%.
- The extensive use of hot rolled steel coils in manufacturing vehicle frames, chassis, and other components is contributing to the growth of the market. As the automotive industry continues to expand, especially with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), the demand for hot rolled steel coils increases. For instance, in February 2024, BYD launched its third electric car, the BYD Seal, in India. The electric sedan boasts a sleek design, advanced features, and a range of up to 700 km on a single charge. Priced at around ₹65-70 lakh, the BYD Seal will compete with the Kia EV6 and BMW i4.
- The increasing government investment in infrastructure projects, such as bridges, railways, and highways, is significantly boosting the demand for hot rolled steel coils. For instance, in 2024, following a decisive victory in the recent Lok Sabha elections, the Modi government is expected to continue its infrastructure spending spree with a renewed focus on economic growth and job creation. Earlier this year in February, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during the interim budget announced a substantial 11% increase in capital infrastructure spending for the next fiscal year, raising the capital expenditure outlay to ₹11.11 lakh crore. This move follows a significant 33% hike last year, emphasizing the government’s commitment to large-scale infrastructure development.

Product Description
Hot rolled steel coil refers to a type of steel product that is created by rolling steel at high temperatures, typically over 1, 700°F (926°C). This process involves passing the steel through large rolls, which reduces its thickness and shapes it into a coil.
The high temperature keeps the steel malleable, allowing it to be shaped easily. Once the steel cools, it is coiled for storage and transportation.
Hot-rolled steel coils are popular for their rough surface finish and are typically used in applications where precise shapes and tolerances are not critical.
Common uses such as the manufacturing of tubes and pipes, construction, heavy machinery, and automotive frames.
The process of hot rolling imparts beneficial mechanical properties like increased toughness and ductility, making it suitable for structural and industrial applications where strength and durability are essential.
