Steel production expansion in Asia Pacific developing nations such as India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam is a key driver likely to drive market development in the future years. Increasing adoption in steel production is expected to increase iron ore pellets market concentration over the coming years. The COVID-19 epidemic has made severe impact on the global iron ore pellets market. Supply chain interruptions, nationwide lockdown, and production shut down has made significant impact on the industry. According to some economists, the global economy is expected to have a significant comeback by the end of 2021, which would likely boost the iron ore pellets industry's growth in the near future.
Steel's major end-use industries are smart building and automobile smart manufacturing. Because iron ore is one of the key raw materials used in steel production, these sectors have a significant impact on iron ore pellet demand. Until 2020, the global construction sector grew rapidly, resulting in increased crude steel output, particularly in India, China and other Asian nations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
The iron ore pellets market is growing at a CAGR of 3.9 % during the forecast period.
The Global iron ore pellets Market is Segmented on the basis of Trade, Product, Regions
The market value of iron ore pellets market in 2029 was USD 85.22 billion.
Iron ore pellets are becoming more popular in developing countries as a result of a growing need for lower emissions and dust in comparison to other materials, which is driving the iron ore pellets market. Raw material price fluctuations might be a stumbling hurdle for the iron ore pellets sector. The demand for high-grade iron ore pellets has recently increased, and this trend is expected to continue, owing to various governments' initiatives toward more environmentally friendly steel production, which has provided an opportunity for the iron ore pellets market. Accidents that occur during the production of iron ore pellets may be a source of concern for the iron ore pellets industry.
Product Segment
With a revenue share of more than 50% in 2020, blast furnace (BF) pellets dominated the iron ore pellet market. It is a lower-grade product as compared to iron pellets produced in the Direct Reduced (DR) technique, and as a result, it is less expensive. In most integrated steel factories, the blast furnace technique is used. The major element driving the expansion of the BF category is the lower cost of these iron ore pellets, which is combined with the number of integrated steel mills prevalent in developed nations.
Because of growing demand in emerging nations in the Middle East and Africa, as well as Asia Pacific, the direct reduced sector is expected to expand the most during the projected period. Direct reduction facilities have lower operational costs and initial capital expenditures than integrated steel mills, and as a result, they are becoming increasingly popular in emerging nations like Japan, India, and China.
Trade Segment
In 2020, the captive category dominated the iron ore pellets market. This indicates that the majority of iron ore pellets are consumed in-house or transported to neighbouring clients for steel manufacture. The majority of the world's biggest steel corporations, such as ArcelorMittal, which accounts for a significant portion of global steel production, get its iron ore pellet requirements from their own manufacturing enterprises. Because of the growing demand for iron ore pellets from non-integrated steel manufacturers, seaborne trade is expected to rise at the quickest rate. The extent of seaborne trade is mostly determined by the trading prices of iron ore pellets in different locations.
The market for iron ore pellets was controlled by Asia Pacific in 2020 and is expected to continue its dominancy over the forecast period. This can be due to China's massive steel production base. China alone generated more than half of all global crude steel in 2020, according to the World Steel Association. Furthermore, because many areas of China have already initiated industrial operations, a rapid and efficient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 is anticipated to help market growth in the country.
