Overview
According to industry experts at CMI, Direct reduced iron (DRI), also known as sponge iron, is a solid form of metallic iron made by eliminating oxygen from iron ore at temperatures lower than its melting point. It is produced by a method known as direct reduction, which uses solid or gaseous reducing agents such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide to convert iron oxides to metallic iron without melting.
The resulting porous, sponge-like product is a valuable raw material for steel production, frequently substituting steel scrap. The direct reduced iron market is being driven by several factors, such as the growing steel industry, increasing investment in infrastructure development, and growing demand from end-use sectors such as automotive, aerospace and others. However, the shortage of feedstock and pellets hinders the industry's growth during the analysis period.
Key Trends & Drivers
- Growing partnership among the market players: The rising partnership among the key market players is expected to foster the industry expansion over the forecast period. For instance, in April 2025, Clariant, a specialty chemical business focusing on sustainability, announced that it has maintained its successful partnership with Midrex and will increase collaboration in direct reduced iron (DRI) technology for steel manufacturing. Natural gas-based DRI is a low-carbon alternative to traditional coal-based ironmaking, using natural gas with recovered CO₂ and H₂O to produce reducing gas for the production process. The technique combines MIDREX® Reformers with Clariant-manufactured REFORMEX® Catalysts, which provide superior activity and stability while increasing productivity, lowering energy usage, and reducing carbon emissions. The MIDREX DRI method saves approximately one ton of CO₂ for every ton of basic steel.

- Incentives and policy support: There are many government policies and incentives around the world that enable the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) sector to grow. One is making steel in a more eco-friendly, lower-carbon way. Governments grant tax breaks and incentives to induce people to invest in cleaner steelmaking that uses DRI, notably hydrogen-based DRI, which is frequently called “green DRI.” These financial incentives make it cheaper to get money for initiatives and make them more likely to succeed. For instance, the US and other countries offer tax breaks and other incentives to businesses that use green technologies to make clean steel. India and other nations have initiated significant government efforts to create green steel. These projects include concessional loans, risk assurances, and financial tools that will help both primary and secondary steel mills use DRI and green technologies. India’s Green Steel Mission, which costs ₹5,000 crore, intends to make a lot more steel in a way that is beneficial for the environment by 2050.

SWOT Analysis
- Strengths: The growing regulatory and environmental support is a main strength that drives the industry's expansion, as the government across the globe is forcing stringent regulation for factories and also providing incentives to adopt sustainable technology.
- Weakness: The major weakness for market growth is its dependence on natural gas and hydrogen. Hydrogen is an emerging technology that is more expensive to adopt, and companies are still in the initial stage of procuring it.
- Opportunities: The rapid infrastructure development, urbanization, and industrial growth in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, among other places, are driving up steel demand. These regions could be significant growth markets for DRI.
- Threats: Storage/self-heating concerns, transportation challenges, building hydrogen infrastructure, addressing reoxidation, and so on. These increase costs and risks.

Regional Analysis
The regional market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Here is a brief overview of each region:
- North America: North America is expected to dominate the market. Environmental regulations and the availability of natural gas are driving the region’s shift away from coal-based DRI production processes. This trend promotes clean steel production. This, in turn, is propelling the growth of the market.
- Europe: Europe holds a significant market share. Growing circular economy initiatives and the presence of major players in the region drive the geographical growth of the market. Furthermore, we expect the expanding automotive industry to propel the industry's growth.
- Asia-Pacific: The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR. The market growth in the region is ascribed to several factors, such as increasing adoption of EVs, particularly in India and China, the presence of several market players, government support to reduce carbon emissions.
- LAMEA: The LAMEA area, which includes Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, is growing significantly over the forecast period. The rising investment in infrastructure development and growing adoption of environmentally friendly technology drive the industry expansion in the region.
