Iron Ore Market Growth & Trends:
The global iron ore market size is expected to reach USD 313.02 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing number of non-residential projects in developed countries, along with government initiatives for constructing low-cost housing units in emerging economies, are anticipated to lead to the growth of the steel market. This subsequently is expected to be the key driver for the growth of the global market for iron ore in the coming years.
The key components of the global economy, including healthcare, education, and hospitality, have been gradually receiving importance from the private and public sectors. Moreover, the growing automotive industry owing to rising disposable income, ongoing urbanization in emerging economies, and increasing electrification of vehicles is also fueling the demand for steel. This, in turn, is contributing to the rise in iron ore mining activities worldwide.
Every basic sector of the economy is a driver for the market. With increasing emphasis on green steel, producers are considering improved methods to incorporate low-carbon raw materials, including 65%, 66%, and 67.5% iron ore grades, into their production mixes.
The U.S. Department of Energy has announced an investment of USD 6 billion in 33 projects in over 20 states to decarbonize energy-intensive industries in the country. These projects are expected to be funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. Such government initiatives are anticipated to surge the demand for iron and steel, thereby driving the growth of the market over the forecast period.
