UAE rebar market steadies amid global fluctuations

In an ever-volatile steel market, the UAE's rebar prices have shown remarkable stability in recent months, according to the latest industry data. Rebar prices consistently hovered around 620.00 USD per metric tonne between October 2 and October 10, 2024, contrasting with earlier fluctuations seen throughout the year.

Looking back at 2024 Rebar prices in the UAE experienced significant variability, particularly in the first half of the year. Prices peaked in February 2024 at 725 USD per metric tonne, reflecting robust demand in the construction sector.

However, by April 2024, prices had dropped sharply to 680 USD, signaling potential shifts in market dynamics, possibly driven by changes in supply chains or raw material costs. This downward trend reached its lowest point in May 2024, when prices bottomed out at 610 USD.

The reasons for this dip are multifaceted, likely encompassing both global economic factors and regional market adjustments. Post-May, the market seemed to correct itself, with prices gradually stabilizing, maintaining a steady range of 620-640 USD per metric tonne throughout the summer and into early fall.

Globally, the steel industry has faced its share of challenges, with production and consumption forecasts highlighting significant regional differences. China continues to dominate the market, accounting for over half of the world's steel production and consumption. The UAE, while a smaller player on the global stage, has demonstrated resilience, maintaining steady rebar prices even as global markets fluctuate. 

The stable prices seen in recent months could indicate a new equilibrium for the UAE's construction sector, balancing demand with a consistent supply chain. However, global economic trends, geopolitical developments, and raw material availability will continue to play crucial roles in shaping future price movements. For stakeholders in the UAE's construction industry, the current stability offers a respite, providing a more predictable pricing environment for planning and budgeting.
