The market for galvanized steel will have potential opportunities to grow considerably as a consequence of increased product consumption in the building sector. Initially, this form of steel was not often employed for structural reasons in structures due to its expensive cost. The availability and pricing of this steel have, however, significantly grown over the past 10 years due to technological advancements that have also improved its corrosion resistance and endurance.

Geographically, Vietnam dominated the Southeast Asian galvanized steel market in 2021. A big portion of this market may be credited to the country's expanding industrial parks, warehouses, and logistics facilities, as well as to the population's rising spending power, which drives up demand for autos in the nation. VinFast, a Vietnamese manufacturer of electric vehicles, started constructing a battery manufacturing facility in the province of Ha Tinh in 2021. The first phase of the project is expected to cost USD 173.7 million. VinFast is doing this to capitalize on the growing consumer interest in electric vehicles. The market in Southeast Asia, however, was dominated by Indonesia in 2021, accounting for the second-largest share. The expanding steel sector and government efforts to enhance Indonesia's infrastructure are primarily responsible for this nation's substantial contribution. By 2028, Indonesia's government hopes to become one of the ten largest economies in the world. The core of this objective is the expansion of Indonesia's manufacturing industry.
