India–US Trade Tensions Rise Over Steel and Auto Tariffs NMDC Limited reports a 38% drop in Q4 FY24 consolidated net profit RINL to Raise $23 Million Through Land Sales Amid Crisis
The global curved steel market is gaining momentum as builders and engineers increasingly use curved sections to deliver stronger, lighter, and more visually striking structures. Market estimates place the sector at about $3.8 billion in 2022, with projections rising to roughly $5.7 billion by 2032, supported by steady growth across the decade.
Demand is being powered by large-scale construction and infrastructure activity—especially bridges, ports, underground projects, stadiums, and commercial buildings. Architects are also leaning into modern, curved forms that require precision-bent steel in multiple profiles, including beams, channels, pipes, and tubes.
On the production side, bending methods such as induction bending, cold bending, rotary draw/compression bending, and point bending are helping fabricators meet tighter tolerances and faster project timelines.However, the market isn’t without challenges. Fluctuating raw material prices can pressure margins and impact project costs, especially for fabricators working on fixed-price contracts.Overall, curved steel is expected to remain a high-utility material choice for projects where design flexibility, structural performance, and long-term durability matter most.
