According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global High Metallization Rate HBI market size was valued at US$ 2572 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 4040 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.6% during review period.
In this report, we will assess the current U.S. tariff framework alongside international policy adaptations, analyzing their effects on competitive market structures, regional economic dynamics, and supply chain resilience.
In 2024, global production of High Metallization Rate HBI reached approximately 8.93 million metric tons, with an average market price of around USD 280 per metric ton.
The gross profit margin for producers ranges from 35% to 50%, influenced by natural gas costs, energy efficiency, and access to high-grade iron ore.
Single HBI production plants can output 1.0 to 2.5 million tons annually using direct reduction processes (e.g., MIDREX or HYL/Energiron technologies).
High Metallization Rate HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) is a premium form of direct reduced iron (DRI) compressed into dense, solid blocks at high temperature to prevent re-oxidation. It features a metallization level exceeding 92%, low impurities (especially sulfur and phosphorus), and high metallic iron content, making it an ideal feedstock for electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking. HBI is easier to transport and store than gaseous or powdered forms of DRI and is used globally by mini-mills and integrated steel plants seeking high-quality, consistent scrap substitutes.
This report is a detailed and comprehensive analysis for global High Metallization Rate HBI market. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses are presented by manufacturers, by region & country, by Type and by Application.
