Report Insights
- Steel consumption is strongly related to economic growth. This is primarily because economic growth results in an increase in infrastructure spend and housing. It also leads to the growth of the retail sector, as increase in disposable income results in greater spending on automobiles and white goods. This leads to the growth of the stainless-steel market.
- Purchasing managers need to implement a rigorous system for ensuring quality practices and products across the entire supply chain. It is important to ensure measures such as suppliers conduct third-party audits periodically, GMP compliance by suppliers, and possession of quality certifications such as ISO by suppliers.
- Surface finish plays a key role in enhancing corrosion resistance. However, buyers might not be adept at understanding the kind of surface finish required to ensure maximum corrosion resistance. This leads to the procurement of stainless steel that does not have an adequate surface finish, resulting in higher costs for rectification or new material procurement.

Stainless-Steel Pricing Trends
The volume-based pricing and spot pricing are the two most widely adopted pricing models in the global stainless-steel market. In volume-based pricing, constant monitoring of commodity prices is not required, which reduces the management effort. Moreover, it eases budgeting activity and reduces risks associated with fluctuations in raw material prices.
However, spot pricing help purchasing managers procure additional quantities at market prices without having to worry about fulfilling minimum quantity requirements. In addition, as the prices of metals are tied to market indices, purchasing managers can conduct price estimation and leverage drops in market prices.
