Steel Structure Project Price Forecast in 2025

In a rapidly changing market environment, predicting the future direction of any particular industry is a complex and challenging task, especially in a field as heavily influenced by multiple external factors as structural steel engineering. In order to provide readers with the most accurate insight possible, we will combine existing data, expert opinions and macroeconomic trends, Lanjing Group has conducted a detailed development analysis of steel structure engineering price trends in 2025.

1.     Outlook on raw material costs

As the core component of steel structure engineering, the fluctuation of steel price directly determines the basic level of project cost. In recent years, steel prices have experienced unprecedented volatility due to global supply chain disruptions, energy crises and trade policy changes. By the end of 2024, despite a decline, the overall operation is still at a high level.

According to the forecast of professional institutions, considering that countries are increasing investment in infrastructure construction and the industrialization process of emerging economies is accelerating, it is expected that steel demand will continue to remain strong before 2025. Coupled with the limited mining of mineral resources, increasingly strict environmental regulations, cost pressures are difficult to quickly ease, and steel prices are expected to remain high in 2025, or even rise slightly.

2.     Expectations of the international trade environment

The international trade environment plays an important role in the price of steel structure industry. Taking Sino-US trade as an example, the imposition of tariffs once pushed up the cost of steel imports, making steel structure companies that rely on foreign raw materials bear great pressure. Looking forward to 2025, if trade frictions between major economies can be eased and bilateral or multilateral trade agreements are gradually implemented, it is expected to reduce raw material procurement costs and bring certain benefits to the industry. However, it is necessary to be vigilant that factors such as exchange rate fluctuations are still uncertain, so establishing a diversified supply chain and finding alternative sources has become a key measure for enterprises to resist risks.

3.     China's policy orientation and market demand

Policy vane has great influence on steel structure engineering. A series of policies issued by the government to support the green and intelligent construction industry, such as the new urbanization strategy and energy saving and carbon reduction targets proposed in the "14th Five-Year Plan", undoubtedly provide good development opportunities for enterprises. At the same time, the rapid rise of new energy facilities, data centers and other emerging areas has led to a surge in demand for high-performance, environmentally friendly steel structures. It is expected that by 2025, under the two-way support of policy dividends and market demand, steel structure engineering will usher in a new round of growth cycle, and the overall price will maintain a steady upward trend.
