Iron Production Cost Analysis

Report Overview:

Iron (FE) is a chemical element that belongs to group 8 of the periodic table. It is, by mass, the most common element on Earth and is fourth in abundance behind aluminum, silicon, and oxygen and second to aluminum among the metals. Iron is a mixture of oxides and is produced by the reduction of iron ore using carbon monoxide, carbon, and hydrogen. The blast furnace process is used in the production process, where iron ore, processed coal, and limestone are poured into a vessel lined with heat-resistant brick. When heated, the coal reacts with oxygen, and the limestone combines with impurities and removes them from the ore, producing pure liquid iron. Apart from this, iron is witnessing a significant demand across the globe on account of its various properties, such as high density, lustrous, highly malleable and ductile, and a good conductor of electricity and heat.

The primary factor accelerating the global iron market growth is the increasing investments in the residential construction sector and the development of smart city projects. The growing product demand across the automotive, energy, chemical, and heavy engineering industries is also bolstering the market growth. This is further supported by the increasing need for automobiles, which, in turn, has intensified the incorporation of the compound to make engine blocks due to ease of manufacturing and durability in terms of resistance to heat. In line with this, the key market players are heavily investing in advanced technologies to produce lightweight iron products to increase their consumer base and sustain in the cut-throat competition, which is creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the presence of leading iron producers, especially in developing regions, and rapid industrialization are positively contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the rapidly expanding transportation industry, favorable government policies, increasing consumer per capita income, and growing mining activities are factors providing a significant boost to global market growth.
