The metals manufacturing market consists of sales of metals by entities ((organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that operate iron and steel foundries, iron and steel mills, and/or ferroalloy manufacturing businesses, and/or entities that undertake alumina and aluminium production and processing. The main types of metal manufacturing are iron and steel mills and ferroalloy manufacturing, nonferrous metal production and processing, alumina and aluminium production and processing, foundries, and steel product manufacturing. Steel product manufacturing refers to the products rolled, formed, shaped, drawn, extruded, forged, cast, fabricated or processed, or processed by a combination of two or more or such operations, from steel made by the open heath, basic oxygen, electric furnace, Bessemer or other steel making process. The metal types are aluminium, beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, cerium, chromium, cobalt, and other metal types. The various end-users involved are construction, manufacturing, and others. The global metal manufacturing market size is expected to grow from $3,023.2 billion in 2021 to $3,425 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3%. The global metal manufacturing market size is expected to grow to $4,542.55 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 7.3%. Industrial robotics is gaining traction among companies in the metals industry. This is mainly because industrial robotics aids companies in reducing labour costs, improving workplace safety, and driving productivity and efficiency.
