Metal Stamping And Fabrication

Global Market Outlook on Metal Stamping and Fabrication

• The global metal fabrication market is highly fragmented with the major supply bases spread across China, India, Germany, the US, Japan, South Korea, etc.

• The demand from major end uses at the global level has relatively increased during H2-2022 due to the resumption of major OEM industries. Zero COVID policy and Russia–Ukraine war have created an impact on the supply market, thereby causing lead time delays and price increase.

Market Overview: Metal Fabrication

• The global metal fabrication market is expected to grow from $278 Billion in 2022 to reach $302 billion in 2024 at a CAGR of 3.5–4.5 percent

• The global metal fabrication market is highly fragmented with the major supply bases spread across China, India, Germany, US, Japan, South Korea, etc.

• Supply base is categorized based on industry requirement, in terms of product tolerance levels. Industries, like aerospace, defense, and medical typically require high tolerance levels and thereby, high-end technologies. Steel and aluminum account for the major portion of the materials processed using the fabrication services at the global level

• Increasing demand for Electric Vehicle in the automotive sector is expected to boost the metal fabrication market globally.

• Fabricators will benefit from a growing demand from Construction, Electronics, Aerospace and Defense, Medical, Energy, Technology sectors as well corporate spending on machinery and automation.

Global Metal Fabrication Drivers and Constraints

Drivers

Demand from High Precision Industries

• Demand from automotive, aerospace and defense industries, which typically have tight tolerance levels for components, is expected to support the metal fabrication market during 2022-2025

End-use Market

• Major end-use from construction and building/piping and architecture is expected to drive the market growth. Metal Fabricators are focusing on end use applications to design the products accordingly

Demand for APAC Region

• Due to increasing demand from Asia Pacific countries, many companies are shifting their manufacturing base to APAC, and this is expected to drive the regions Metal Fabrication services market growth.

Constraints

Impact, due to Russia–Ukraine war

• The Russia–Ukraine war has impacted the raw material supply (copper, aluminum, etc.), as Russia accounts for ~6 percent of global aluminum production and ~4 percent of global copper production

Inability to Automate Production Process

• Metal fabrication is a customized process, based on project-based orders that constraints the standardization of the manufacturing process beyond a certain level

• This constraint keeps the manufacturing costs high and increases pressure to reduce costs in a competitive market

Cost Structure: Metal Fabrication

• The major cost factors involved are raw materials and labor which account for about 75 percent of the total cost.

• Production of metal fabrication in high-cost countries, like the U.S., Germany, and in regions of Europe and North America, has a higher share of labor and raw material in the cost structure, when compared to low-cost countries, like China or India.

• Despite, higher electricity prices in countries such as Germany, U.K, etc., the impact on the overall cost of production is minimal, as the electricity cost constitutes a smaller share on the overall cost structure.
