India Steel Wire Rope Market Size and Overview
The market for steel wire rope is at a matured stage, with a limited number of players
dominating the market. Steel Wire ropes are used dynamically for lifting and hosting in
applications, and for transmission of mechanical power. Steel Wire Rope industry in India has
prospered owing to growth in infrastructure activities and demand in industrial sector. This
growth was witnessed majorly due to government initiatives such as Pradhan Mantri Awas
Yojana, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Smart Cities
Mission, Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and others. The primary growth drivers for
steel wire ropes in India have been infrastructure development, increased industrial activity,
enhanced emphasis on shipping and port sector along with growth in the mining industry.
Market Segmentation:
By Domestic and Exports Sales
Domestic sales have contributed the maximum share to the steel wire ropes market in FY’2018.
Domestic companies’ incapability of meeting international standards has been the proximate
reason for fewer sales in the exports market. Usha Martin Limited, Bharat Wire Ropes Limited
and Bedmutha Industries Limited cater to the needs of foreign market.
By Industry Application
Engineering and Construction segment has contributed the largest share in terms of revenues
in FY’2018 from sales of wire ropes due to increasing government allocation on infrastructure
projects like “Housing for All”, AMRUT and Smart Cities Mission. This was followed by the Oil
and Gas Industry which contributed second largest share in terms of revenues in FY’2018.
By Wire Coating
Plain Black Carbon Steel Wire Ropes segment has dominated the steel wire rope market in
terms of production volume. The cost of black carbon ropes is more economical than galvanized
wire ropes by 10-15% as they do not include the additional cost of zinc and associated
production processes which appeals to Indian buyers. However, Galvanized steel wire ropes are
more durable and hence they are exported to foreign countries or used in coastal areas
domestically.
