Analysts’ Viewpoint on Market Scenario
The Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa submerged arc furnace market value is driven by rise in the production of steel, ferroalloys, silicon metal, and other non-ferrous metals. Growth in the urban population has led to significant investment in the construction sector. This is boosting the demand for steel and other construction materials.
Surge in emphasis on sustainable and energy-efficient production processes in the steel and metal industries is likely to fuel the demand for submerged arc furnaces in the near future. Submerged arc furnaces are capable of producing a wide range of ferroalloys, including ferro silicon, ferro manganese, and ferro chrome, which are essential in the steel and metal industries. Consequently, manufacturers are offering solutions that reduce energy consumption and emissions while maintaining high production levels to remain competitive in the industry.
Submerged arc furnaces use electrodes and a charge material to produce high temperatures and chemical reactions in a molten bath of metal or slag. Submerged arc furnace, or submerged electric arc furnace, is used to manufacture different types of ferroalloys and other commodities. Most of these furnaces are powered by alternate current (AC) and are employed in the steel and metal industries due to their reliability, efficiency, and versatility.
Direct current (DC) submerged arc furnaces use direct current instead of AC to generate heat and create a molten bath of metal or slag. DC furnaces have higher energy efficiency than AC furnaces due to the reduced power losses in the power supply system and better control of the arc. This leads to lower electricity consumption and reduced operating costs.
Submerged arc furnaces are commonly employed in the production of ferroalloys and specialty metals, which are essential components of steel production. Use of submerged arc furnaces in steel production offers numerous advantages, including higher energy efficiency, improved productivity, and better product quality. The global steelmaking capacity is projected to rise by 5.9% from 2023 to 2025. Thus, surge in steel production is estimated to spur the Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa submerged arc furnace market growth in the near future.
Ferroalloys are essential components in the production of steel and other alloys. Demand for ferroalloys is increasing due to expansion in the steel industry and other end-use industries. Submerged arc furnaces are widely utilized in the production of ferroalloys due to their high energy efficiency, superior process control, and ability to handle a wide range of feed materials.
Therefore, stakeholders in the steel industry are enhancing ferroalloy production capabilities. This is projected to drive the Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa submerged arc furnace market size in the next few years.
According to the latest Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa submerged arc furnace market trends, the AC submerged arc furnace product type segment is anticipated to dominate the industry during the forecast period. AC submerged arc furnaces are widely employed in the production of ferroalloys. These furnaces are less expensive than their DC counterparts. They do not have any complicated rectification circuits and are relatively simple to operate. These advantages are augmenting the demand for AC submerged arc furnaces.
According to the latest Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa submerged arc furnace market forecast, China is projected to hold major share from 2023 to 2031. Rise in the production of steel is fueling market dynamics in the country. China is one of the major producers of steel and ferroalloys worldwide.
The industry in India is estimated to grow at a significant pace in the near future. Increase in focus on boosting ferroalloy production and addressing the unavailability of raw materials is augmenting market statistics in the country. South Africa is poised to be a major growth engine of the industry in Middle East & Africa due to the abundance of mineral resources in the country.
The industry is fragmented and competitive due to the presence of several local and regional players including Electrotherm, Hani Tech, Metso Outotec, Eastern Metec Pvt. Ltd, Vaibh Metallurgical Solutions Private Limited, SCME Group, SMS Group, Tenova S.p.A., Xi'an Abundance Electric Technology Co., Ltd., and Shaanxi Heyuan Metallurgical Electromechanical Co., Ltd.
These vendors have been profiled in the Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa submerged arc furnace market report based on parameters such as company overview, financial overview, business strategies, product portfolio, business segments, and recent developments. Vendors are focusing on technological advancements in the industry to improve efficiency, reduce production costs, and enhance product quality. They are also expanding their operations to new regions to increase their Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa submerged arc furnace market share.
