Steel Rebar Global Market Report 2026

Steel rebar is a metal bar designed to enhance the tensile strength of concrete, thereby improving the resilience of concrete structures against various loads such as tensile, bending, torsion, and shearing forces.

The primary types of steel rebar include deformed and mild. Deformed steel rebar is characterized by ribs, lugs, and indentations on its surface, addressing the slippage issue associated with mild steel bars and ensuring robust bonding between concrete and rebar. The manufacturing processes involved include basic oxygen steelmaking and electric arc furnace methods. Steel rebar finds applications in residential buildings, public infrastructure, and industrial projects. The key end-use industries for steel rebar include construction and infrastructure, manufacturing, and oil and gas.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on imported steel rebars have affected the market by increasing costs and disrupting supply chains, particularly for deformed and mild steel in north america, europe, and asia-pacific. These tariffs have raised expenses for construction and infrastructure projects, but they have also encouraged local production, accelerated adoption of coated and high-strength rebars, and promoted innovation in automated and sustainable rebar manufacturing.

This steel rebar market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The steel rebar market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $266.63 billion in 2025 to $283.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in residential construction, expansion of public infrastructure projects, increasing industrial development, rising demand from commercial buildings, adoption of conventional hot rolled and mild rebars.

The steel rebar market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $365.98 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising urbanization and smart city projects, increasing demand for earthquake-resistant structures, growth in highway and bridge construction, adoption of corrosion-resistant and coated rebars, expansion of industrial and energy infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use of high-strength steel rebars in construction, integration of automation and robotics in rebar manufacturing, growing focus on corrosion-resistant and coated rebars, implementation of smart manufacturing and process monitoring, increasing adoption of rebars in large-scale infrastructure projects.

The rising building and construction activities are expected to drive the growth of the steel rebar market in the coming years. Building and construction activities involve the development, maintenance, and repair of infrastructure, including residential, commercial, and industrial structures. These activities are increasing due to rapid urbanization, which is boosting demand for new infrastructure and housing developments. Steel rebar supports building and construction projects by reinforcing concrete structures, providing the strength and durability necessary for long-lasting construction. For example, in November 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based government department, reported that in 2023 the value of new construction work in Great Britain rose by 4.2% to a record £139,029 million ($152,932 million), driven by increases in both the private sector (£2,050 million / $2,255 million) and the public sector (£3,578 million / $3,936 million). Consequently, the growth of building and construction activities is driving the steel rebar market.

The prevailing trend of product innovation is a key factor gaining traction in the steel rebar market. Leading companies within the steel rebar market are directing their efforts towards the development of new steel bars featuring enhanced mechanical and metallurgical properties to broaden their applicability. For example, in March 2023, GPH Ispat Limited, a Bangladesh-based steel manufacturer, introduced the GPH Quantum B600D-R steel rebar, a novel high-grade steel rebar product. This advanced steel rebar not only reduces construction costs but also enhances the floor area and reinforces the building's capability to withstand heavy and sustained loads.

In April 2024, White Cap Supply Holdings LLC, a U.S.-based distributor of specialty construction supplies and building materials, acquired Crimson Steel Supply, LLC for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, White Cap aimed to expand its steel rebar and structural steel product offerings, broaden its geographic presence, and enhance service capabilities for professional contractors across non-residential and infrastructure markets. Crimson Steel Supply LLC is a U.S.-based value-added distributor and fabricator of engineered steel rebar and structural steel products serving customers in Oklahoma and surrounding states.
