How big is Electrical Steel Market in 2026?

Core loss grades for grids and motors gain a 6.3% CAGR between the 2026 and 2036 forecast years. Coil sales open at USD 47.8 billion for 2025. Estimates put 2026 coil sales at USD 50.8 billion and the 2036 projection at USD 94.5 billion.

Sales of electrical steel stood at USD 47.8 billion in 2025 and are estimated at USD 50.8 billion in 2026. Electrical steel market size is projected to reach USD 94.5 billion by 2036, a CAGR of 6.3% from 2026 to 2036. The key opportunity lies in grain-oriented strip for power transformers in India. JSW JFE Electrical Steel approved a rise in Nashik CRGO capacity from 50,000 to 250,000 tonnes in August 2025, with phases from FY2028.[1] The expansion is aimed at growing CRGO demand from Indian transformer builders.[1] Due to this, JFE Steel is expanding beyond traditional growth engines in Japan through a half share in the Indian venture, and Indian buyers will cut grain-oriented imports after 2028.[1]

Electrical Steel Market Value Analysis
Electrical Steel Market Value Analysis

Demand intensity follows the grid, and transformers take about 43% of 2026 application sales, analysts at FMI see. Transformer cores are stacked from grain-oriented strip. With the transformer market projected to grow at a 6.6% CAGR from 2026 to 2036, every new substation will add GO tonnage. Motor makers punch stators from non-grain-oriented sheet, an estimated 55.8% of product sales, and growth of the electric motor market at a 6.6% CAGR from 2026 to 2036 will keep NGO lines busy. An annealing capacity constraint is slowing new grain-oriented supply outside India, so transformer makers are signing multi-year steel contracts.

Key Market Trends & Insights

  • Non-grain-oriented sheet takes an estimated 55.8% of product sales in 2026 on motor and appliance volume. ArcelorMittal plans up to 150,000 tonnes of NGO capacity at Calvert from the second half of 2027.[2]
  • Adoption of grain-oriented cores puts transformers first among applications, at about 43% of 2026 sales, and motors follow at an estimated 41.6%.

Metric Value
2025 Market Size USD 47.8 billion
Estimated Market Size in 2026 USD 50.8 billion
Projected Market Size by 2036 USD 94.5 billion
CAGR, 2026 to 2036 6.3%
Added Revenue, 2026 to 2036 USD 43.7 billion
Market Expansion Multiple 1.9x

Hitachi Energy announced a $457 million large power transformer plant in South Boston, Virginia, in September 2025.[5] POSCO set full-scale motor core production at Brzeg for December 2025.[6] Both grades start as hot-rolled silicon coil, so mills plan electrical grades against growth of the wider steel market. EV drive motors also use NGO stators, and EV motor market growth will add demand for thin NGO sheet. FMI estimates USD 43.7 billion of added market size from 2026 to 2036, a 1.9x multiple on the 2026 base.

Grain-Oriented Capacity and Trade Defence

The limits of capacity-led expansion show up first in grain-oriented steel, because each new line needs decarburizing, annealing and coating stages. Cleveland-Cliffs is the only domestic US producer of grain-oriented electrical steel, WPXI reported in October 2026.[3] The Butler Works expansion, funded with $200 million from Cliffs and $75 million from the Department of Energy, raises GOES output by 25% on completion in 2028.[3] The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Cliffs a five-year contract with a ceiling of $400 million for domain-refined GOES.[7]

European mills cut grain-oriented output in 2026. Imports reached over 50% of European GOES volume, and thyssenkrupp halted Isbergues production from June to September 2026.[4] About 1,200 jobs were at risk in Germany and France.[4] In India, JSW JFE will bring total CRGO capacity to 350,000 tonnes in phases from FY2028.[1] FMI predicts that grain-oriented supply will stay tight in North America and Europe through 2028, so long-term contracts will set prices.

Analyst Perspective

“Electrical steel producers should sign ten-year core steel agreements with US and Indian transformer builders before pouring concrete for a new line, because signed volume justifies the annealing and coating investment that grain-oriented supply needs. I expect at least one new GOES joint venture in India or the USA before 2030.”

Metric Value
Global CAGR (2026 to 2036) 6.3%
Leading Segment Non-Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel

Every rotating machine needs non-grain-oriented sheet, and NGO grades carry an estimated 55.8% of 2026 product demand. Grain-oriented steel, at about 44.2% (estimated), goes into transformer cores alone, so the buyer list is shorter. GO strip also costs more per tonne owing to extra annealing and coating steps, and only a few mills make the strip. POSCO holds orders for 35 million drive motor cores through 2033, Charged EVs reported in October 2025.[6] ArcelorMittal plans a Calvert, Alabama plant with up to 150,000 tonnes of NGO capacity from the second half of 2027.[2]

  • ArcelorMittal listed a €500 million electric steels unit under construction at Mardyck in France.[2]

Why do transformers lead application demand?

Transformers absorb about 43% of 2026 application value, ahead of motors at an estimated 41.6% and inductors at 15.4%.

Table 5: Application Share for the Electrical Steel Market (percentage share), 2026

Application Estimated Share (2026)
Transformers 43%
Motors 41.6%
Inductors 15.4%
Total 100.0%

Hitachi Energy is investing $457 million in a South Boston, Virginia plant for large power transformers, the Virginia Governor announced in September 2025.[5] Transformers absorb about 43% of 2026 application demand in the FMI study. Motors come second at an estimated 41.6%, since a motor core weighs far less than a power transformer core. Inductors, at about 15.4% (estimated), serve small power electronics with low tonnage per unit.

  • Power, distribution and generator step-up units make up transformer demand.
  • A five-year DLA contract for domain-refined GOES with a ceiling of $400 million was reported in July 2026.[7]

Why does the energy sector lead end-use demand?

Energy buyers hold an estimated 34.7% share of 2026 end use, and household appliances about 18%.

Table 6: End Use Share for the Electrical Steel Market (percentage share), 2026

End Use Estimated Share (2026)
Energy 34.7%
Automobile 23.5%
Household Appliance 18%
Manufacturing 17.1%
Others 6.7%
Total 100.0%

Utilities buy on long grid budgets, and the energy sector holds an estimated 34.7% share of 2026 end use. Automobile makers follow at about 23.5% (estimated), as carmakers order on model cycles and use less steel per vehicle than a substation uses per transformer. Household appliances take about 18%, FMI's report shows. Appliance makers buy thin sheet in small lots for compressors and washing machine motors, so orders move with household appliances market growth. Manufacturing, at an estimated 17.1%, replaces industrial motors on long cycles. Others hold about 6.7% (estimated). State Grid oversees electricity use for 1.1 billion people across 88% of Chinese territory, SCMP reported in January 2026.[8]

What are the drivers, restraints, and opportunities in the electrical steel market?

Electrical steel draws demand from grid upgrades, EV motor output and renewable power investment. Producers of electrical steel face import pressure in Europe, iron ore price swings and the capital cost of new lines.

  • Driver: Grid investment drives transformer steel demand, and State Grid set a 4 trillion yuan network plan through 2030.[8]
  • Restraint: Import surges press on European mills, with imports above 50% of European GOES volume in March 2026.[4]
  • Opportunity: Domestic GOES supply programs are opening in the USA, and the DLA set a five-year contract with a $400 million ceiling.[7]

Grid Investment Pulls Transformer Steel

FMI's analysis ranks Chinese and US grid budgets as the main drivers of transformer steel demand. State Grid oversees electricity use for 1.1 billion people across 88% of Chinese territory, SCMP reported.[8] Transformer makers Sieyuan Electric and Shanghai Guangdian Electric jumped 10% on the day the 4 trillion yuan plan came out.[8] Baosteel and other Chinese grain-oriented mills will supply the cores for those transformer orders.

Import Pressure Squeezes European Mills

European grain-oriented imports tripled since 2022 and rose a further 50% in 2025, thyssenkrupp Electrical Steel said in March 2026.[4] Import prices fell below EU production costs in some cases.[4] The company called itself one of the two remaining European producers of grain-oriented electrical steel.[4] Isbergues and Gelsenkirchen will stay at reduced output without EU trade defence measures.

Domestic Supply Programs in the USA and India

Domestic programs to replace imported core steel will drive growth of the electrical steel market in the USA and India. The DLA contract covers roughly 53,000 to 53,450 net tons of domain-refined GOES for delivery to the Hammond Depot in Indiana.[7] JSW JFE raised the planned Vijayanagar plant from 62,000 to 100,000 tonnes.[1] Cleveland-Cliffs will ship the domain-refined GOES to the DLA, and JSW JFE will sell CRGO to Indian transformer builders.
