The global non grain oriented electrical steel market size is anticipated to reach USD 27.69 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. NGOES, known for its superior magnetic properties, is essential for manufacturing transformers, electric motors, and other electrical equipment. As the global energy sector increasingly shifts toward renewable sources such as wind and solar power, the need for advanced electrical steel to produce transformers and other high-efficiency equipment has surged. Therefore, the rising adoption of green energy technologies is a key driver of the NGOES market’s expansion.
Electric motors in EVs require high-performance electrical steel to ensure efficient power generation and consumption. Governments worldwide are pushing for the adoption of electric vehicles through incentives and regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions, so automakers are increasingly investing in their development. This shift in the automotive sector is spurring demand for NGOES as a core component in EV motor production, further driving the market’s growth.
As automation technologies evolve, industries require motors and drives with higher energy efficiency and reliability. Due to its excellent magnetic properties, steel is extensively used in industrial motors, a fundamental part of automation systems in manufacturing, robotics, and logistics. The growing need for automation and the demand for high-efficiency motors and transformers in various industries thus play a critical role in expanding the NGOES market.
Power grids are essential for the transmission and distribution of electricity, and transformers, which use NGOES for their core materials, are crucial for their efficient operation. As countries worldwide upgrade their power grids to meet growing energy demands and incorporate renewable energy sources, the demand for NGOES to produce high-efficiency transformers and other electrical equipment has risen sharply.
