Metal Shaping in France - Market Research Report (2014-2029)

The European metal shaping industry, a key player in the region's manufacturing sector, has seen shifting fortunes over the past several years. Metal shaping is strongly tied to the performance of downstream sectors like motor vehicle manufacturing and construction, using its expertise in forging, pressing, stamping, and powder metallurgy to create end-products and intermediate goods. While Europe’s construction sector has seen upward trends, enhancing demand for shaped metal, challenges spurred by heating energy costs, particularly in Germany, Italy, France, and Austria, have nudged industry players to adopt energy-efficient strategies. Industry revenue is expected to tumble at a compound annual rate of 6.1% over the five years through 2024 to €70.4 billion – including an estimated 3.6% slump over the current year.
