Speaking at the specialized panel on \u201cBalancing the Flat Steel Product Chain Based on Market Demand\u201d at the Mobarakeh Steel Group Pavilion, Majid Fakhari, Sales and Product Delivery Planning Manager of Mobarakeh Steel Group, stated, \u201cRecognizing its pivotal role in Iran\u2019s economic and industrial growth, Mobarakeh Steel has implemented a targeted strategy that simultaneously aims to expand exports of finished products and meet the evolving needs of domestic industries. Over the past decade, flat steel consumption has fluctuated between 8.5 and 9.5 million tons.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fakhari added that with the ongoing development of industries such as automotive, home appliances, fluid transmission, and construction, demand is expected to reach 14.6 million tons over the next decade. \u201cGiven the nationwide expansion of steelmaking capacities, the market will likely face a supply surplus\u2014particularly in the hot-rolled product segment,\u201d he noted.\u00a0

Maintaining Domestic Market Share and Expanding Exports: Two Core Strategies\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure production stability and maximize utilization of its capacities, Mobarakeh Steel is pursuing two core strategies \u2014 maintaining its share of the domestic market and expanding exports.\u00a0
\u201cConsidering the challenges of export markets and the need to penetrate new regions, a dedicated plan has been launched this year to increase the export of finished products annually in line with growing capacities,\u201d Fakhari explained.\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0
Strategic Focus on the Automotive and Home Appliance Sectors\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He emphasized that Mobarakeh Steel places a strategic focus on meeting the needs of Iran\u2019s automotive and home appliance industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to our ongoing projects and development roadmap, these two sectors offer the highest growth potential and value creation within the downstream steel chain. The group\u2019s future direction is therefore aligned with supporting their advancement,\u201d he said.\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0
Advancing Toward Electrical Steel Production\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fakhari noted that one of Iran\u2019s major challenges in recent years has been the imbalance in electricity supply.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a forward-looking strategy, Mobarakeh Steel Group has oriented its development plans toward the production of electrical steel \u2014 a product capable of transforming national energy efficiency and productivity,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently, domestic consumption of electrical steel sheets stands at around 50,000 tons per year, while the potential market capacity is estimated at 200,000 tons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that many transformers in Iran\u2019s power grid are aging and require renewal, and that the adoption of high-efficiency electric motors in household appliances and industrial equipment could significantly reduce national energy consumption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on Mobarakeh Steel\u2019s technical assessments, in the field of evaporative coolers alone, using electrical steel sheets in new motor designs could save approximately 2,000 megawatts of energy\u2014equivalent to the capacity of a large power plant,\u201d Fakhari said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further studies indicate that the widespread use of this technology across various industries could result in up to 3,000 megawatts of energy savings, translating into several billion dollars in reduced power plant construction costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement is not merely an industrial project but a national initiative aimed at optimizing energy consumption, improving production standards, and strengthening self-sufficiency,\u201d he emphasized.\u00a0
By developing the production of electrical steel sheets, Mobarakeh Steel is effectively reducing pressure on the national power grid and generating sustainable added value for Iran\u2019s industry.<\/p>\n

Pioneering a Greener, More Efficient Industrial Future\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fakhari concluded,\u201cThrough technological advancement, localization of technical knowledge, and large-scale production of this strategic product, Mobarakeh Steel is on the path to becoming the leading producer of electrical steel in the region. This direction not only drives economic growth but also lays the foundation for a greener, more efficient, and future-oriented industrial landscape in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
