What have been the primary factors driving the automotive stainless steel market’s growth?

The adoption of electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive stainless-steel market going forward. An electric vehicle is a vehicle that can be driven by an electric motor that draws energy from a battery and is charged externally. The automotive industry continues to evolve with advancements in electric and autonomous vehicles, which need durable and reliable materials like stainless steel that offer corrosion resistance, strength, and design flexibility. For instance, in June 2022, according to the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), a US-based association representing all investor-owned electric companies, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on U.S. roads is projected to increase from 2.4 million in 2021 to 26.4 million by 2030. Further, electric vehicles' annual sales are expected to reach about 5.6 million in 2030, accounting for around 32% of total light-duty yearly vehicle sales. Therefore, adopting electric vehicles will drive the growth of the automotive stainless-steel market.
