The global steelmakers are gradually shifting from blast furnace to EAF to manufacture steel, which requires lower investment and offers higher efficiency compared to a blast furnace. The use of EAF enables steelmakers to produce steel from 100% scrap metal feedstock. For instance, in January 2014, U.S. Steel applied for permits to replace a blast furnace at its Alabama plant with an EAF that is expected to be operational by 2017.

According to The Business Research Company’s Consultant, Nitin Gianchandani, the demand for AHSS is growing in the automotive industry. This is primarily due to affordability, performance, manufacturability, and recyclability offered by AHSS. AHSS has higher durability compared to conventional steel, allowing automobile manufacturers to produce high quality and safe vehicles. According to market research company Lucintel, an automobile chassis made using AHSS is about 15% lighter compared to one made using conventional steel. As a result, most automobile manufacturers have started to invest heavily in AHSS. For instance, automobile manufacturer Chevrolet cut 300 pounds of weight from its 2015 Chevrolet Malibu car by using AHSS for its 2016 model.
