Products & Services Segmentation
Industry revenue is measured across several distinct product and services lines, including Flacherzeugnisse, Stabstahl and Eisen- und Stahlblöcke. Flacherzeugnisse is the largest segment of the Erzeugung von Roheisen, Stahl und Ferrolegierungen.
Trends and Insights
<LI>Zum Segment der Flacherzeugnisse gehören Bleche, Breitflachstahl und Bänder.</LI><LI>Flacherzeugnisse bestehen aus legiertem oder nicht legiertem Stahl und können sowohl warm- als auch kaltgewalzt sein.</LI><LI>Die Einsatzgebiete von Flacherzeugnissen sind breit gefächert.
- Der wichtigste Abnehmer ist die Automobilindustrie, die Stahlbleche zur Herstellung von Kraftwagen verwendet. Weil Stahl eine hohe Korrosionsanfälligkeit aufweist, werden Flacherzeugnisse häufig mit anderen Metallen wie Zink, Zinn, Chrom oder Nickel überzogen beziehungsweise plattiert, wobei solche Schichten außer für den Korrosionsschutz auch aus ästhetischen Gründen aufgebracht werden. Die elektrolytische Beschichtung und die Feuerverzinkung gehören zu den bekanntesten Verfahren hierfür.</LI><LI>Die mit dem Absatz von Flacherzeugnissen erzielten Umsätze sind in den letzten fünf Jahren leicht zurückgegangen.</LI>

About this industry
Industry definition
Der Branche der Erzeugung von Roheisen, Stahl und Ferrolegierungen kommt als Basisbranche eine besondere Bedeutung in den Wertschöpfungsketten der deutschen Industrieunternehmen zu. Stahl ist ein vielseitiger Werkstoff, der in unterschiedlichen Schritten verarbeitet und in den verschiedensten Wirtschaftszweigen zur Herstellung von Produkten verwendet wird. Die zahlreichen Innovationen dieses Wirtschaftszweigs und seine enge Verflechtung mit anderen Industriebranchen tragen beispielsweise zu den Erfolgen der Automobilindustrie oder des Maschinenbaus bei. Der Branchenumsatz ist seit 2019 um durchschnittlich 3,8 % pro Jahr auf 50,6 Milliarden Euro gestiegen, was insbesondere auf die hohen Stahlpreise in den Jahren 2021 und 2022 zurückzuführen ist.<BR />In den letzten fünf Jahren war die Branche mit verschiedenen Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Dazu gehörten die Volatilität des Stahlpreises und die negativen wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Coronavirus-Pandemie sowie die Zunahme der handelspolitischen Spannungen, die den Exporthandel erschwerten. Zudem führte der Ausbruch des Ukraine-Krieges im Februar 2022 zu einem starken Anstieg der Strom- und Gaspreise, was sich negativ auf diese energieintensive Branche auswirkte. Dies veranlasste die Stahlerzeuger zu Kostensenkungsmaßnahmen und zur Weitergabe der Kostensteigerungen an die Kunden, während einige Branchenakteure ihre Produktion drosselten. 2024 wird der Branchenumsatz voraussichtlich um 5,7 % sinken. Dies ist vor allem auf den hohen Leitzins der Europäischen Zentralbank zurückzuführen, der die Nachfrage nach Stahlprodukten im Baugewerbe dämpft. Zudem ist 2024 mit einem Rückgang des Stahlpreises zu rechnen, was sich ebenfalls negativ auf den Branchenumsatz auswirken dürfte.<BR />In den nächsten fünf Jahren wird der Branchenumsatz voraussichtlich um durchschnittlich 2,3 % zurückgehen und im Jahr 2029 einen Stand von 45,1 Milliarden Euro erreichen. Der Trend zur Leichtbauweise in Industriezweigen wie der Automobilbau und der Luft- und Raumfahrt sorgt dafür, dass in den Produkten zunehmend Metalle wie Aluminium und andere Werkstoffe anstelle von Stahl verwendet werden. Dieser Trend dürfte sich auch in Zukunft fortsetzen und sich negativ auf die Entwicklung der Branche auswirken. Hinzu kommt, dass die Branchenakteure wegen der immer strengeren Umweltvorschriften erhebliche Investitionen in die Modernisierung ihrer Maschinen und Anlagen tätigen müssen, um ihre CO2-Emissionen zu senken. Viele Branchenunternehmen können sich dies finanziell nicht leisten, weshalb in den nächsten fünf Jahren mit Marktaustritten und Konsolidierungen auf dem Markt zu rechnen ist.
