The metal industry is highly fragmented. The Asia Pacific (APAC) region dominates the global metal industry due to the availability of advanced technology, which facilitates high production at minimum cost. A combination of factors such as growth in complementary industries and governmental regulations, cyclical fluctuations in metal prices, general economic conditions, and end-use markets affect industry dynamics significantly. In this study, Lucintel profiles the following five companies with detailed competitive assessments:
- ArcelorMittal
- JFE Holdings

As per the Lucintel study, the Rest of the World (ROW) region witnessed the highest growth during the last five years. ROW contains emerging economies, so investments in infrastructure and construction are leading to rising demand for and consumption of steel and aluminum. The region witnessed improved investment results and higher asset valuations. High rate of steel export was also one prominent reason for the growth in this region.
