Description

The global metal stamping market size is projected to grow from USD 195.23 billion in 2020 to USD 247.62 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 3.42% from 2021 to 2027. Metal stamping is considered a manufacturing process mainly executed to convert flat metal sheets into specific shapes. It is a complicated process that can include several metal forming techniques: blanking, embossing, bending, coining, deep drawing, and flanging.

Growth in the global consumer electronics industry is estimated to drive the demand for the application of metal frames in headphones, mobile phones, gamepads, speakers, and controllers. According to GSM Association, the global number of unique mobile subscribers is predicted to touch 6 billion by 2025 from over 5 billion in 2017, which is likely to propel the mobile phone demand and eventually metal stamping during the forecast period.

The U.S. is among the prominent players in the metal stamping industry. However, the emergence of COVID-19 and subsequent temporary lockdown measures in the country widely impacted the industry's operations. The downstream demand from key sectors, including automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and others, was largely disrupted due to supply chain challenges and dried-up demand from end-use customers. The situation is projected to normalize by the end of 2021 or 2022 based on the rate of vaccination and control measures to limit new variants of the coronavirus in the country.

In April 2018, a U.S.-based automobile component manufacturer named American Axle and Manufacturing and a China-based manufacturer Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Industry Co. Ltd. entered a joint venture “Liuzhou AAM Automotive Driveline System Co. Ltd.” China to produce rear axles and drive heads. The joint venture aimed at meeting the growing demand for vans, minivans, and sport utility vehicles in the country. The increasing production of auto components is anticipated to propel the growth of the market.

Global Metal Stamping Market Dynamics

Drivers: Rising Investments by Key Vendors in Emerging Economies Supports the Market Growth

Global metal stamping market witnesses a huge opportunity in emerging economies like China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa, owing to rapid growth in various end-user industries such as automotive, aerospace & aviation, consumer electronics, electrical, and other electronics, industrial machinery, telecommunications, and medical devices in the recent years. Citing the growth and future demand for metal components from these industries, many metal stamping equipment and service providers are strategically investing in these countries for the expansion & construction of new metal stamping facilities; for instance, in April 2018, Weiss-Aug Co. Inc. started operations in Nuevo Leon, Mexico with the addition of two 22-ton high-speed Bruderer presses to increase metal stamping capabilities. Also, in February 2017, Gestamp invested USD 38.67 million to construct a new hot stamping plant in Pune, India. This was an effort from the company to capture the rising demand for metal stamping with a preference for safer & lighter vehicles.

Opportunities: Next-Generation Metal Stamping is Catching the Attention!

The emergence of next-generation stamping is gaining traction in the global metal stamping market. The next-generation metal stamping reduces the time and cost required to produce metal and metallic parts. It eliminated the process of designing dies which is a costly procedure. It helped in the implementation of next-generation tooling simulation software to improve tooling lineups before cutting tools. Automotive parts such as fenders, headliners, side and quarter panels, exhausts, brake shoes, valves, and hangers have increased the adoption of next-generation metal stamping technologies in the market. Moreover, this technology is also successfully managing to attract investors; in November 2017, Toyotetsu Canada (automotive part manufacturer) was awarded nearly USD 1.2 million in Ontario government grants through the Southwestern Ontario Development Fund (SWODF).
