Russia High Speed Steel Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2025-2031F

Molybdenum High-Speed Steel sector by Type held the highest revenue share in Russia High Speed Steel Market -6Wresearch

Molybdenum High-Speed Steel held a higher market share due to its cost-effectiveness compared to Tungsten HSS while maintaining excellent hardness, wear resistance, and red hardness. It is widely used in cutting tools, drills, and milling cutters for industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction. Additionally, its lighter weight and better machinability make it a preferred choice for mass production.

According to 6Wresearch, Russia High Speed Steel Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2025-2031F. Between 2022 and 2024, the Russia-Ukraine war significantly disrupted Russia's High-Speed Steel (HSS) market, driven by Western sanctions, which led to export restrictions, supply chain constraints, and logistical challenges. However, in 2024, the market demonstrated signs of recovery, supported by Russia’s strategic focus on domestic manufacturing across key sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and defense, thereby bolstering the market for HSS. This shift was reflected in Russia’s manufacturing GDP, which increased from $52.5 billion in Q2 2024 to $ 55.5 billion in Q3 2024, indicating resilience in industrial output.

Russia’s High Speed Steel market is expanding, driven by infrastructure and construction growth. In 2023, construction volume rose 7.9% to $172.8 billion, outpacing 2022’s 7.5% increase. The $26 billion, 679 km Moscow–St. Petersburg high-speed rail project, set for completion by 2028, is boosting demand for HSS in track-laying equipment, precision cutting, drilling, and welding tools. Large-scale projects like these are strengthening the HSS market, supporting Russia’s infrastructure and construction sectors.

Looking ahead, Russia’s growing automotive sector is set to drive HSS demand. The government’s ongoing push for domestic production and localization, along with its 2024 announcement of a $900 million investment over three years, would boost HSS usage in tooling and engine fabrication, strengthening market growth.

According to Shubham Deep, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the metal cutting segment holds the highest share in the High-Speed Steel (HSS) market due to its extensive use across industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing. HSS is widely used in drills, milling cutters, saw blades, reamers, and taps, essential for precision metal shaping and machining.
