Electrical steel refers to a ferromagnetic material made up of iron that contains varying amounts of silicon (Si) that range from 1% to 6.5%. It is a soft magnetic material with enhanced electrical properties that are widely used across applications such as small relays, solenoids, electric motors, generators, and many other electromagnetic devices. The main types of electrical steel include grain-oriented and non-grain-oriented. Grain-oriented electrical steel is used in efficient transformers and large, high-performance generators. Grain oriented electrical steel contains 3% silicon steel that is processed under carefully controlled conditions and is used in transformers and generators. Electrical steel is used in different industries such as energy, automotive, household appliances, and manufacturing for applications in large power transformers, distribution transformers, small transformers, power generators, and audio transformers. The global electrical steel market is segmented - 1) By Type: Grain-Oriented, Non-Grain-Oriented 2) By Industry: Energy, Automotive, Household Appliances, Manufacturing 3) By Application: Large Power Transformers, Distribution Transformers, Small Transformers, Power Generators, Audio Transformers The global electrical steel market size will grow from $26.47 billion in 2022 to $28.3 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
