According to the 2025 Market Research Report on the Prepainted Steel Coil Project, the global market scale of prepainted steel coils is expected to
grow from approximately USD 42 billion in 2023 to USD 48 billion in
2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
In 2023, the global total production capacity of prepainted steel
coils reached 125 million tons, of which China’s production
capacity accounted for about 58%, amounting to 72.5 million tons.
In the same year, China’s consumption volume of prepainted steel
coils made up 35% of the global total, reaching 9.8 million tons.
It is projected that by 2025, China’s domestic market scale of
prepainted steel coils will likely exceed 15 million tons, with an
annual output value hitting RMB 220 billion.
The construction industry remains the primary application field for
prepainted steel coils, and its share in the market is expected to
reach 62% by 2025. Demand for fire-resistant and
corrosion-resistant prepainted steel coils has surged in public
infrastructure and commercial real estate projects.
In the home appliance sector, growth has slowed down due to the
substitution effect of stainless steel; however, demand for
high-performance prepainted steel coils—featuring special textures,
custom colors, antibacterial properties, and self-cleaning
functions—has increased.
The transportation sector is in a phase of rapid development in
terms of prepainted steel coil applications, with a notable growth
rate in demand for prepainted steel coils used in new energy
vehicles.
As building energy efficiency standards continue to rise, the
market share of prepainted steel coils with thermal insulation
functions has expanded year by year. It is estimated that by 2025,
the application proportion of energy-efficient prepainted steel
coils in the construction sector will rise to 45%.
Meanwhile, prepainted steel coil products will develop toward
higher performance and multi-functionality, such as enhanced
corrosion resistance, weather resistance, antibacterial properties,
and self-cleaning capabilities.
Production processes will undergo continuous optimization and
upgrading to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and
minimize environmental pollution. For instance:
More advanced coating technologies and equipment will be adopted to
enhance coating quality and uniformity;
Digital technology will be further integrated into the production
process to achieve automated and intelligent control of
manufacturing.
Market competition will become more intense, and enterprises will
place greater emphasis on brand building, product innovation, and
service quality. Leveraging their advantages in scale, technology,
and brand, large enterprises will further expand their market
share. In contrast, small enterprises will need to adopt
differentiated competition strategies and focus on specific niche
markets to enhance their market competitiveness.
