Scope of the Report

The global AC (Alternative Current) Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 546 million in 2025 to US$ 810 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2026 to 2032.

An electric arc furnace is a high-temperature furnace that uses high-voltage electric arcs to make steel. Electric arc furnaces are a feature of the minimills that recycle iron and steel scrap into new steel products. Arc furnaces range in size from small units of approximately one ton capacity (used in foundries for producing cast iron products) up to about 400 ton units used for secondary steelmaking.

According to our “Construction Machinery” research center, sales of construction machinery in Europe increased by 24% in 2021, and in 2022 the construction machinery revenue in Europe was about US$ 22 billion, while the US market sold about $36 billion in construction machinery in 2022. China"s construction machinery has complete categories and outstanding advantages, with 20 categories, 109 groups, 450 models, 1090 series and tens of thousands of models of product equipment. By the end of 2021, the number of major products of construction machinery in China was about 5.61 million to 6.08 million units. According to our “Construction Machinery” research center, the total sales of the top 50 global construction machinery manufacturers in 2022 reached US$ 220 billion. And Asian companies occupied an absolute advantage, accounting for 50% of revenue, followed by Europe and North America, accounting for 26% and 23%.
