Steel rebar is produced in different diameters according to the intended use. Steel bars are also produced as mild steel plain bars (without ribs). Rebar is packed as irregularly wound coils or bars. Carbon steel rebar is the most commonly used type in construction. Rebar is used in reinforced concrete to improve tensile strength. The construction industry is the largest consumer of rebar in columns and frames for residential and industrial buildings as well as hospitals. Estimates suggest that Oman’s rebar market will have relative growth and oversupply in the coming years.

Product Description

With a per-capita GDP of $32,400 in 2019, Oman was the fifth largest economy in the region that year, behind Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. The country’s economy has steadily grown over the past years, and according to the Oman Vision 2040, economic growth is expected to continue over the coming years. The country’s logistical location that connects the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to the world is one of the major factors in expanding its relations and trade with other countries; the free trade agreement with the US since 2009 is one example. Oil and petrochemicals account for a major portion of the country’s exports. In 2019, about 70% of the country’s total export revenues came from oil and oil-related products. The iron and steel industry in Oman is an emerging business with a history shorter than a decade. Still, total exports of the industry take the second largest share in the country’s export revenues, behind oil products.

Market drivers of Oman’s steel rebar

Owing to its logistic location that provides access to Arab states of the Persian Gulf for producers from far away, Oman has become an attractive venue for foreign investment. On this basis, the country’s iron ore pellet production was developed through a joint venture with the Brazilian Vale. Thus, the development of the iron and steel industry in other countries in the region can help realize one of the goals of the joint venture. Specifically, the completion of the Gulf Railway project that connects member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council will accelerate the achievement.

Despite the growth of the manufacturing sector’s share in the country’s economy over the past years, the share is still small. Added value from the manufacturing sector in 2019 only accounted for 10% of the country’s GDP, which is small compared to other countries in the region. Moreover, the country’s small population has translated into a weak domestic demand. These factors are restricting the growth of crude steel demand in the country. The consumption of steel rebar in the construction industry is the most important application of the product; the mechanical properties of steel rebar have resulted in considerable demand.

Oman reported its first case of Covid-19 in late March 2020. Before long, in April, social distancing and lockdowns were implemented. As a result, the country’s mobility index dropped more than 30%. As the pandemic continued to spread, lockdowns were extended into mid-April, but activities were gradually resumed under certain protocols. Lockdowns are expected to continue, significantly disrupting industrial performance and eventually leading to a decline in demand for iron and steel; a recovery might be likely in the near term.

Overview of Oman’s steel rebar market

A look at the capacities, output, and consumption of steel rebar in Oman shows that the market is an emerging one with a history shorter than 5 years. As rebar capacities were developed, Oman’s imports declined and exports were ramped up. Exports are mostly shipped to Egypt, while Iran is the major import source. Given the slow growth rate forecast for the country’s downstream steel sectors, net exports in the short term are expected to remain around the levels seen in the latter years of the timeframe, but gradually decline afterwards.

Breakdown of Oman’s steel rebar market

Domestic demand for steel rebar in the forecast timeframe as well as the previous period has been broken down using three factors. The first factor breaks down the market into three categories: carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel. Past and future trends for each type of material have been analyzed. Carbon steel rebar holds the largest share of the market. In the second breakdown, products are distinguished based on type: plain, round bar (without ribs) and deformed rebar, with the latter taking the largest market share. Finally, using the third factor, steel rebar is categorized based on its applications in different industries. The construction industry is the largest consumer of steel rebar in Oman.
