The Middle East steel coil market is projected to reach $28.7 billion by 2026, with compound growth of 4.3% CAGR (2024-2026). This report examines key demand drivers, trade patterns, and emerging opportunities across sub-regions.
1. Product-Specific Demand Breakdown
- Hot-Rolled Coils (HRC)
- GCC Demand: 12.4 million tons in 2025 (+7% YoY), driven by:
- Saudi Arabia's $500 billion gigaprojects (35% share)
- UAE pipeline infrastructure expansion (Dubah's $23bn sewage network upgrade)
- Price Trends: $510-540/ton CIF Jebel Ali (Chinese origin), $580-610/ton (EU origin)
- Cold-Rolled Coils (CRC)
- Automotive Sector: Iran's car production rebound (1.2 million units in 2025) consuming 850,000 tons CRC
- Special Grades: UAE's premium CRC imports (Japan/JFE Steel) for luxury construction grew 22% in Q1 2025
- Galvanized Coils
- Solar Projects: Saudi's Sakaka PV Phase II requiring 150,000 tons galvanized steel for mounting structures
- Competition: Chinese GI coils dominate with 62% market share ($720-750/ton) vs EU's $820-850/ton
- CountryKey Projects2025 Import ForecastSaudiQiddiya Entertainment City6.2 million tonsUAEEtihad Rail Stage 33.8 million tonsEgyptNew Administrative Capital4.5 million tonsIranChabahar Port Expansion1.2 million tons*
3. Supply Chain Innovations
