Metal & Metal Manufactured Products Market

Metal & Metal Manufactured Products Market Outlook - 2030

The global metal & metal manufactured products market size was valued at $11.2 trillion in 2020, and is projected to reach $18.5 trillion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2030.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered acute declines in metals prices, mainly due to a collapse in metals demand. Short- and long-term supply were also disrupted by mine closures and a wave of capital spending cuts in the mining sector.

Metal is a reusable and vital resource with great thermal and electrical conductivity, density, and capacity to be deformed without splitting under pressure. Various metals are mined from specific ores in the earth's crust and classified as ferrous or nonferrous based on their iron makeup. Metal fabrication is a process that involves cutting, shaping, or moulding metal material into a finished product. Increase in demand for metal and metal produced products from various end-use industries, such as healthcare, aviation, energy & power, electrical & electronics, and others is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Furthermore, technical improvements and increase in demand for metals and metal-manufactured items from the automotive industry drive the global market's expansion. Steel, magnesium, and aluminium are popular metals used in the automotive industry because of their low cost and high safety. Government regulations, increase in operational efficiency to reduce operating costs, growing input material costs, and improving output quality are factors that hamper the growth of the market. Growth in the market for metals in emerging economies coupled with large-scale use of recycled metal & related products is expected to provide great opportunities for the metal and metal manufactured products market.

The metal & metal manufactured products market is segmented on the basis of metal type, product type, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of metal type, the metal type market is divided into lithium, magnesium, aluminum, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, molybdenum, silver, and others.
