The Green Steel Market is emerging as one of the most transformative segments within the global steel industry, driven by the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions from heavy industries. Traditional steel production is responsible for a significant share of global CO2 emissions, prompting governments, manufacturers, and investors to seek cleaner alternatives. Green steel, produced using low-carbon technologies such as hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI), electric arc furnaces, and renewable energy sources, is becoming a cornerstone of sustainable industrial development.As per Market Research Future analysis, the Green Steel Market Size was estimated at USD 871.33 million in 2024. The industry is projected to grow from USD 1,851.76 million in 2025 to an exceptional USD 3,480,064.02 million by 2035, registering a remarkable CAGR of 112.52% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2035. This extraordinary growth rate reflects the early-stage nature of the market combined with accelerating adoption across multiple end-use industries.
Key growth drivers include stringent environmental regulations, rising carbon pricing mechanisms, and increasing commitments from automotive, construction, and infrastructure sectors to achieve net-zero emissions. Automakers are particularly influential, as they actively seek green steel to decarbonize supply chains and meet sustainability targets. In parallel, government incentives and public–private partnerships are supporting investments in hydrogen infrastructure and renewable energy integration for steel production.
Despite its strong outlook, the market faces challenges such as high production costs, limited hydrogen availability, and the need for large-scale capital investments. However, ongoing technological advancements, economies of scale, and declining renewable energy costs are expected to improve commercial viability over time.
Looking ahead, the green steel market is poised to redefine the future of steelmaking. As sustainability shifts from a competitive advantage to a regulatory requirement, green steel is expected to transition from a niche solution to a mainstream industrial standard worldwide.
