 What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Direct Reduced Iron Market?
 Rising demand for steel products is expected to propel the growth of the direct reduced iron market going forward. Steel products refer to a wide range of items and materials that are manufactured using steel as the primary raw material. Direct reduced iron is used in the production of steel, where it is used as a substitute for scrap metal and pig iron resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced energy consumption. For instance, in 2022, according to the World Steel Association, a Belgium-based international industry association, the steel demand in 2022 is 1840.2 metric tons which is 0.4% more than the previous year and is set to increase 2.2% in 2023 and reach 1881.4 metric tons. Therefore, rising demand for steel products is driving the growth of the direct reduced iron market.
