Weathering steel, also known as Corten steel, is a specialized steel alloy designed to develop a protective rust-like patina when exposed to weather conditions. This self-protecting oxide layer eliminates the need for painting and provides superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor applications. The material offers exceptional durability, reduced maintenance costs, and aesthetic appeal, particularly in architectural and infrastructure projects. Its unique properties make it highly suitable for bridges, building facades, sculptures, and transportation infrastructure. The increasing focus on sustainable construction materials and long-term cost-effectiveness has boosted the adoption of weathering steel across various applications. The material's ability to maintain structural integrity while providing an attractive appearance has made it a preferred choice among architects and engineers.

The weathering steel market is estimated to be valued at USD 2.76 Bn in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.78 Bn by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2024 to 2031.
