The U.S. grain oriented electrical steel (GOES) market size was worth USD 896.9 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.


Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES) is a type of electrical steel that is commonly used in power transformers, motors, and generators. It is made by aligning the crystalline structures of steel to optimize its magnetic characteristics, improving electrical equipment's energy efficiency. The increased demand for energy-efficient transformers in the electrical sector is driving the market growth. The demand for high-performance electrical steel has increased as the country modernizes its aging power infrastructure and boosts renewable energy capacity.


In addition, the increasing demand for electric vehicles in the U.S. offers growth opportunities for the market. Electric motors and transformers are heavily used in EVs to convert and regulate power. GOES improved magnetic characteristics contribute to lower energy losses, increasing the total efficiency of these components. The increasing usage of EVs, spurred by environmental concerns and government initiatives, directly translates into a larger demand for GOES.


The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the U.S. grain oriented electrical steel market growth due to disruptions in supply chains and delayed construction projects. However, the emphasis on modernizing the electrical grid and the push toward sustainable energy sources continue to stimulate the demand for grain oriented electrical steel in the country.

U.S. Grain Oriented Electrical Steel (GOES) Market Segmentation Analysis


By Product Type Analysis


Based on product type, the market is categorized into conventional, high magnetic strength, and domain refinement.


The conventional segment accounted for the largest U.S. grain oriented electrical steel market share in 2022. The growing demand for conventional steel is due to its established production processes, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. It finds application in transformers, industrial induction machines, and power generators, where its reliable performance and affordability outweigh the need for top-tier magnetic properties.


The rising demand for motors and stators in the U.S. is expected to drive the high magnetic strength segment growth.


By Thickness Analysis


On the basis of thickness, the market is segmented into 0.2 mm and below, 0.23 mm, 0.27 mm, 0.30 mm and 0.35 mm and above. The 0.23 mm segment accounted for the largest share of the market in 2022. The product with this thickness is widely used in applications such as compact transformers, generators, and electric motors. This form of electrical steel is utilized in small-scale applications, such as the production of small motors used in appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners. Increased demand for such domestic applications is likely to fuel market growth during the forecast period.


The rising demand for products with a thickness of 0.27 mm from large power transformer manufacturers is expected to drive the 0.27 mm segment growth.


By Application Analysis


On the basis of application, the market is segmented into transformer, power generator, electric motor, and others.


The transformer segment dominated the market in 2022. The rising use of transformers in the electric energy distribution and supply in the country is expected to drive the segment growth. Conventional and high-magnetic strength steel types are commonly employed in transformers to ensure efficient energy transfer across the electrical grid.


Power generators also contribute substantially to the product demand, benefitting from the material’s magnetic properties that enhance overall generator efficiency.
