The steel strapping market is projected to grow from USD 1.2 billion in 2025 to USD 2.3 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 6.1%. Regular duty will dominate with a 58.6% market share, while painted & waxed strapping will lead the coating segment with a 61.4% share.
Published 23 September 2025

The global Steel Strapping Market is set to experience a decade of transformative growth, advancing from an estimated USD 0.9 billion in 2025 to USD 2.3 billion by 2035, at a healthy CAGR of 6.1%. This robust trajectory underscores the rising demand for secure packaging solutions across logistics, construction, metals, and manufacturing sectors worldwide.

With global trade volumes surging and industries demanding greater reliability in load security, steel strapping has cemented its position as the gold standard in heavy-duty packaging solutions. Known for its superior tensile strength, recyclability, and performance under extreme conditions, steel strapping continues to outpace plastic alternatives in critical industrial applications.

A Market Built on Strength and Reliability

The five-year growth blocks paint a clear picture of market acceleration. Between 2025 and 2030, the market will rise steadily from USD 0.9 to 1.3 billion, largely fueled by e-commerce logistics, construction material handling, and the bundling of industrial goods. The next phase, 2030 to 2035, shows a sharper climb—from USD 1.3 to 2.3 billion—driven by stronger adoption in metals, mining, and infrastructure-heavy economies.

Demand from logistics and transportation (35% market share) remains the backbone, where steel strapping ensures secure shipment of heavy pallets, steel coils, and machinery across long distances. The construction industry (25%) and metals and mining (20%) further reinforce the outlook, while manufacturing, industrial machinery, and bulk packaging in paper and textiles contribute significant additional momentum.

Why the Market is Growing

Three core drivers stand out in the growth story of the steel strapping market:

  1. Global Trade and Packaging Demands – With containerized shipping and bulk exports rising, industries are prioritizing stronger, compliance-ready strapping solutions to avoid costly damage during transit.
  2. Construction and Infrastructure Development – Rapid infrastructure projects in emerging economies and urban transit expansions in developed nations keep demand for bundling raw materials high.
  3. Metals and Mining Expansion – Rising steel, aluminum, and ore handling volumes demand robust, reliable strapping that can endure sharp edges and heavy weights.

Add to this the push toward recyclable and coated strapping solutions, and the market is seeing a blend of sustainability with industrial performance.

Segment Insights: Leading the Charge

  • By Tensile Strength: Regular duty steel strapping will command 58.6% share in 2025, as industries seek the right balance between durability and affordability.
