Global Rebar Processing Equipment Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

Rebar Processing Equipment market size was worth US$ XX million in 2022 and is estimated to show significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% within the forecast period (2023-2030).

The use of rebar processing equipment has been moving to supply higher value-added products like corrosion-resistant steel rebars and epoxy-coated, galvanized and earthquake-resistant rebar. The earthquake-resistant rebar is predominately used in earthquake-prone areas and rebar processing equipment plays a vital role in shaping steel bars for construction purposes.

Automatic rebar processing equipment will possess a vast demand in the future to incorporate the losses with higher production rates of machines and cost efficiency, needing the modification of processing machines with modern operating techniques and shifting towards automation with an introduction to cloud and computer numerical control applications.

The rebar processing equipment market declined in every segment due to the COVID-19 pandemic because of a complete halt to all construction work and a global shortage of raw materials and workforce. After recommencing all the operations, the price of reinforcing bars globally observed a massive hike due to insufficient steel supply to meet the growing demand from the top steel-producing regions, impacting the rebar processing equipment market. In March 2021, China's national price of HRB400 20mm diameter rebar reached its 9.5-year high at US$ 755 ton due to low production in 2020 and high demand generated in 2021

Market Dynamics

Increasing demand for rebar from the construction sector drives the market share for rebar processing equipment.

The extensive worldwide applications of plastics drive the market share for Rebar Processing Equipment

Rebar processing equipment is primarily used in construction to process rebar with different machines, including straightening machines, shearing machines, bending machines, etc. The global construction sector is forecasted to grow by 85% to US$15.5 trillion globally by 2030, with leading countries China, U.S. and India.

Rebar is the most common material in the construction industry, which will result in the significant growth of the rebar processing equipment industry. The demand for rebar has been continuously growing in developing countries with the expansion of the construction sector, such as China's domestic rebar output reaching 249.7 million tons in 2019. The output grew by 5.1% in 2020, reaching 266.4 million tons amid the pandemic due to the resuming of the existing construction projects, boosting the demand for rebar processing machines.

The demand for rebar processing equipment has seen substantial growth with expansion in the industry. For instance, In 2020, Asia's first-ever continuous Galvanized Rebar Manufacturing Facility has launched with the partnership of Madhav KRG Group & Global Zinc Association and the initiative was supported by Hindustan Zinc Limited.

Preference for manual labor due to the high costs of machines creates a huge challenging atmosphere for the growth of rebar processing equipment

Besides potential benefits, modern rebar processing machines require colossal investment, need for skilled operators and high operational costs, making them unaffordable for small projects and contractors. On average, the minimum cost for a rebar processing machine ranges between US$ 750 and 1500 and can range up to US$15000 with advanced features. Hence, it becomes uneconomical for contractors in developing countries.

The abundance of unskilled labor in developing countries results in the availability of a large workforce that requires minimal wages. In an industry survey, over 80% of the workers are unskilled in developing countries. However, with an introduction to rental opportunities and second-hand machine options, the leading market players added encouraging the usage of rebar processing equipment in small projects and being affordable for the small projects are forecasted to overcome the market restraint. Schnell Spa, German Machine Technics ApS, Pedax Gmbh and other global companies have already been providing second-hand rebar processing equipment.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The global rebar equipment market was bustling and thriving before the COVID pandemic struck the world. The global building market's tremendous rise enhanced the demand for rebar processing equipment. However, as governments globally implemented lockdown measures in response to the COVID outbreak, demand for construction and related markets such as rebar processing equipment fell sharply, particularly in the second quarter of 2020, as global GDP fell dramatically and sales in the manufacturing sector fell precipitously.

In 2021, the global construction market was expected to rise by 35% in the post-pandemic market. The pandemic's aftermath on the construction sector will impact several industry developments, including the global rebar processing equipment market. The respective factor might be a major market growth driver for the global rebar processing equipment market. Once several COVID restrictions were abolished, new and leased rebar processing equipment prices skyrocketed. The increase in the price of rebar processing equipment is related to the recovery of the construction sector, which resumed growth by the end of 2020. However, in the post-COVID market landscape, manufacturers' government initiatives and strategic actions are projected to increase the global rebar processing equipment market.

Segment Analysis

The global rebar processing equipment market is segmented by type, end-user and region.

In the construction industry, a bar bending machine is used to bend the steel round bar and steel rebar to design the required structure for building the base of any construction structure

The global rebar processing equipment market is segmented into bar bending machines, bar shearing machines, bar de-coiling and straightening and others. The bar bending machine dominates the market of the mentioned type. Bar Bending Machine, also known as bar bender machine, has gained immense popularity in the building and construction industry in the past few years.

In the construction industry, a bar bending machine is used to bend the steel round bar and steel rebar to design the required structure for building the base of any construction structure. The key players are offering both automatic and semi-automatic bar bending machines using high-quality materials that are durable, fast and cost-effective, used for bending reinforcement bars and various forms of round bars.

For instance, Jaiprakash Associates Limited offers bar bending machines which are semi-automatic, durable, fast and inexpensive machines for bending reinforcing bars and various shapes of round bars. The machine effectively boosts the wood yard's output capacity while reducing manual labor. TMT bending machines, also known as bar bending machines, are built to last a lifetime and are extremely simple to operate. Asia-Pacific is the largest growing region in the building and construction industry due to the government's high investment in construction projects and the region's expansion and growth of various key players.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the industry grew rapidly in 2020. The construction output in China is predicted to rebound sharply in the forecast period. Furthermore, China is on track to overtake U.S as the world's largest building market in the next decade. Residential construction growth slowed in 2020 but accelerated in 2021. Across the region's emerging markets, the government is putting a strong emphasis on affordable housing.

Geographical Analysis

The tremendously growing construction industry and the presence of key players in Asia-Pacific accelerate the market growth of rebar processing equipment

Several regional countries, including India, China and South Korea, have significantly reinforced bar production capacity. Many small and medium-scale rebar manufacturers dominate the region, particularly in China, Japan, South Korea and India. China has surpassed U.S. as the world's most important construction market, accounting for 20% of all construction investments. The construction industry is expected to grow healthy as the government focuses on developing infrastructure in small and medium-sized towns.

Construction companies in China signed nearly US$ 7 trillion worth of contracts in 2018. In addition, new contracts signed by China Railway Construction Corporation (1186) in the first three quarters of 2019 increased by 25.07% year on.
