After all, iron ore is a finite natural resource. To combat this problem, manufacturers of steel looked for alternatives that ensured complete utilisation of the ore. Thus, the production of pellets gained momentum. 2. The other obvious reason for a higher demand of Iron Ore Pellets has been the rising demand for steel.
