Analyst London, United Kingdom August 2025

The Metal Shaping industry, a key player in Europe’s manufacturing sector, has seen shifting fortunes over the past few 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. Europe’s construction sector has struggled in recent years, dampening demand for shaped metal. Furthermore, the automotive and engineering industries have shown greater volatility than in the past, making long-term planning more challenging. Rising energy costs, particularly in Germany, Italy, France and Austria, have prompted metal shapers to adopt energy-efficient strategies, boosting profit. Revenue is expected to increase at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2025 to €95.4 billion, including an estimated 0.4% boost in 2025.
