As the demand for steel is expected to rise in conventional areas, such as automotive, construction, housing, pipes, packaging and steel tubes this particular sector provides good prospects. Specialized steel will probably be in demand in hi-tech engineering industries. These industries include fertilizers, power generation and the petrochemical industry. This further increases the need for Iron and steel industry in UK.

There was tremendous demand in the oil and gas sector. The profits which can be gained in this sector are about $US 118 billion in the coming 5 decades. Due to the international demand for metal tubes and pipes, this specific sector retains viability.
