According to BlueWeave Consulting, the
Iron Ore pellets is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast
period. The global Iron Ore pellets Market is projected to reach a valuation
of 62.13 million by the year 2027 by growing at a CAGR of 3.37% during the forecast
period 2021-2027. The demand for iron ore pellets has increased especially
after various governments have taken steps towards more sustainable steel
production acting as an opportunity for the iron ore pellets market. The
consumption of Iron ore pellet is majorly driven by rising steel demand from
end-users including, Automotive, Manufacturing, Defense, and Construction sectors
among others.
Limited
Availability of High-grade Lump
Mined iron ore contains lumps of
varying size, the biggest one is more than 1 meter (40 inches) across and the smallest one is about 1 millimeter (0.04 inch). Globally, around two billion tones
of iron ore (average 62%) is used in the form of lumps/sinter/pellets to
produce steel.
Earlier, lump ores were the primary
source used in the iron-making process. However, over the years, high-grade
lump ore reserves have been gradually depleting, attributable to excessive
mining activities by multiple companies.
This limited availability of
high-grade lump ore is becoming a cause of concern for the iron & steel
industry, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable lump ore
for direct use in blast furnaces. Shortage of high-grade iron ore lumps is a
major driver of iron ore pellet sales.
Innovations
in Iron ore pelletizing
The pelletizing process is currently
the most widely used option for producing suitable agglomerates for ironmaking
applications from fines of iron ore concentrate.
Quality requirements for Direct
Reduced method pellets are higher and since lump ore of the required quality is
not available, pellets are the only viable feed for the new Direct Reduced method
plants.
Iron Ore Pellets provide advantages
to end-users, such as improved productivity of blast furnaces, the opportunity to
increase the iron content of the charge materials, and superior environmental
performance of pellet plants as compared to sinter plants. Consequently, the
number of pelletizing plants is expected to increase in the future. The main
iron-producing systems, blast furnace, and Direct Reduced reactors will not be
replaced in the near future.
Captive in
product offerings are predicted to be the major market driven factor in the US
Iron Ore Pellets market industry
Captive holds the largest share in the
marking owing to most of the iron ore pellet production is consumed in-house or
shipped to nearby customers for steel manufacturing. Most of the major steel
companies across the globe, who account for a major share in global steel
production, source their iron ore pellet requirements through their own
manufacturing firms.
