Non-Oriented Electrical Steel Market Report

Global Non-Oriented Electrical Steel Market Size

The global non-oriented electrical steel market was valued at USD 19.54 billion in 2025. The global market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.81% from 2026 to 2034 and be worth USD 27.35 billion by 2034 from USD 20.28 billion in 2026.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Non-Oriented Electrical Steel is completely processed steel that consists of an iron-silicon alloy with varying silicon that has the same magnetic characteristics in all directions of the sheet plan. When minimal core loss & strong magnetic permeability are required, non-oriented electric steel is often employed as a core magnetic material. Non-oriented electrical steel cover is made from this type of non-oriented steel, and they're utilized in anything from household appliances to hybrid and pure electric automobiles. In the process of making non-oriented electrical steel, the steel melted gets consolidated as such an ingot and therefore is subject to cold rolling and hot rolling in order to give a completed strip. Because of their high magnetization saturation, strong magnetic permeability, minimal core loss, and low cost, non-oriented electrical steels (NOES) are the most extensively utilized main substance for electric motors, generators, and alternators.

MARKET DRIVERS

Growing demand for traction motors, high-frequency transformers, and high-speed electric motors from Hybrid Electric Vehicles, together with a growing preference for Non-Oriented Electrical Steel, is expected to drive market growth. Reduced core losses, as well as strong magnetic permeability, are expected to have a positive impact on development. Non-oriented Electric Steel is commonly utilized as an iron core material in rotating machinery ranging from small precision electric motors to huge power generators because of its homogeneous magnetic behavior in all directions. They're also found in the iron cores of power generation, small power transformers, ac motors, and other household items. The value of the Non-Oriented Electrical Steel Market has been positively affected by all of its qualities, including such as reduced core weight and high magnetic permeability, as well as its applications in many sectors and for other appliances.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The restraining factor that is restricting the growth of the global nonoriented electrical steel market, is the availability of replacements such as grain-oriented electrical steel. Furthermore, raw material prices elusively might stifle market expansion. As there is a downturn as it is elusive in raw material prices which can be hindering the market as Covid 19 pandemic is under the throats of every individual because of this there is no import and export with the nations and due to this, there is an impact in the global nonoriented electrical steel market.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

By Type

The semi-processed segment is dominating the global market with a CAGR of 4.13% in the upcoming years. Tiny rotors, Stators, as well as small power transformers, benefit from non-oriented semi-processed grades. Semi-processed in non-oriented electrical steel is widely used and commands a large portion of the market. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of semi-processed non-oriented electric steel are not fully developed. The magnetic characteristics of the laminations are completely established only after decarburization and annealing. Temper rolling follows annealing in the manufacturing step for non-oriented semi-processed material grades. The stamped pieces are annealed to their final state at the customer's site. Semi-processed non-oriented electric steel is also well-suited to motors with less than 20 horsepower. Because of all of these aspects, the semi-processed segment dominates the market.

By Application

The Motors segment is expected to be the dominant one in the upcoming years with a CAGR of 4.14%. As motors have the largest market share in the application area and are increasing at the fastest rate in the world. An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Because it is cost-effective and fits the criteria for high-efficiency, high-power motors, non-oriented electrical steel (NO) is widely utilized as a motor core material. Traction motors are the major components of the drive mechanism in electric mobility such as PHEVs, HEVs, as well as EVs that take the place of engines. As iron core materials, electrical steel sheets are important functional materials that considerably improve the motor performance and fuel economy of EVs.
