Galvanized Sheet Price Trend Q3 2025
In Q3 2025, the global Galvanized Sheet market experienced a mild decline, with overall prices decreasing by approximately 1.57% versus the prior quarter. The drop has primarily been due to reduced demand from the construction and automotive industries, especially in China and the United States, which are among the top consumers in the world. Additionally, oversupply conditions, along with diminished purchasing orders from the infrastructure and appliance manufacturing industries, pressured the market.
In India and the United Kingdom, production volumes remained stable as limited downstream demand and a cautious approach to procurement limited trading activity. Relatively stable input costs and limited activity on projects also continued to add to the bearish outlook. Though currently weak, participants in the marketplace remain cautiously optimistic regarding gradual demand recovery based on long-term “megatrends” in infrastructure development and the industrial space.
