The Indian steel industry will showcase a CAGR of 6.99% during the forecast period owing to the consumption of steel products in the construction,infrastructure, transport, and automotive end-user segments. The construction, infrastructure, and transport segments will be the major endusers of the finished steel products in India as there has been extensive rise in investments in these segments.The Indian steel industry will be dominated by the flat steel products due to the rise in consumption of the flat steel products in automotive, construction, infrastructure and transport, domestic appliances, and other industrial applications (office furniture, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and packaging).It is estimated that the consumption of steel as a sustainable material will continue to grow during the forecast period as technological progressions and extensive R&D will decreased the consumption of energy in the steel production process.The Indian steel industry is affected by hindrances in iron ore supply, stable domestic iron ore prices, uncompetitive steel export because of stable Indian Rupee, and dumping of steel on India by steel-surplus nations such as China.The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act of 1957 assists the Indian steel industry players and allows the transfer of mining leases for mining operations.ArcelorMittal and SAIL through their joint venture will set up an automotive steel manufacturing unit in India.This report covers the current market conditions and the growth prospects of the Indian steel industry for the period 2016-2020. It also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top five vendors in the Indian steel industry.
