In the past, commercial steel buildings were reserved for commercial operations and some industrial and agricultural applications. The market has entered a public, residential and government use over the past few years with metal buildings now being used in home garages, sheds, public parks and recreational areas throughout the world. The commercial steel building market has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, including during the pandemic.

There was an upheaval in 2021 due to the corona virus pandemic with supply chain shortages and increased material costs. People worked from home and businesses downsized, it was a time of uncertainty. While construction experts predicted new constructions would decrease, the market increased with many people focusing on new construction projects.

It was expected that the new construction industry would only see a four percent increase, but it experienced a twelve percent increase, the construction boomed during the period, resulting in £715 billion in new constructions throughout the world. In the steel construction industry, there was a 12.9 percent increase during the pandemic. Metal roofing projects increased by 9.3 percent, exterior light steel framing increased by 9.5 percent and steel framing increased by three percent.

Construction specialists advised that commercial steel buildings made up more than half of their annual revenue with sixty percent coming from metal structures. Seventy-nine percent of construction projects continue to remain steel buildings with the rise in demand in industrial, commercial, residential and government buildings.

Graham Barral, the Director at Atlantic Steel Buildings in the United Kingdom, said “The cost of sheet metal around the world has peaked thanks to the undersupply and increased demand experienced during the pandemic. We are seeing rapid growth in commercial steel buildings this year and even with the hike in prices, which have now stabilised, the demand continues to soar. We offer the latest materials and innovations. We cater to agricultural, retail, recreational, industrial, warehousing and commercial clients throughout the United Kingdom.”
