Stainless steel refers to an iron alloy that has a minimum 10.5% of chromium. Chromium produces a skinny layer of oxide on the steel's surface commonly known as the 'passive layer'. This prevents the steel from further corrosion of the surface. Stainless steel also contains different percentages of Silicon, Carbon, and Manganese. Other elements for example Molybdenum and Nickel may be added to the steel that imparts other useful properties such as increased corrosion resistance and enhanced formability.
Regional Insights
The Asia Pacific emerged as a global leader in terms of volume and revenue both due to increasing manufacturing activities along with foreign investments in the region. As per the United Nations Conference on Trade & Development, the inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rate for the Asia Pacific region was around 9.1% in 2017, the highest compared to other regions. An increase in FDI helps the region to develop various industries in the country as well as generate more employment that in turn anticipated to boosts the demand for stainless steel in the region over the coming years.
