Metal-Forming Machinery & Machine Tool Manufacturing in Europe industry analysis

Major influences on the European Metal Forming Machinery and Machine Tool manufacturing industry include motor vehicle and aerospace manufacturers, major sheet metal purchasers and high-precision machinery. Over the five years through 2024, industry revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 6.5% to €43.1 billion, including a dip of 1.5% in 2024. Car production in the EU has remained below pre-pandemic levels. ACEA data reveals that 2022’s output was approximately 3.1 million units below 2019. The automotive industry requires large quantities of sheet metal; therefore, the dwindling production numbers indicate a shrinking sales pool for manufacturers to tap into. Commercial air traffic also remains down on pre-pandemic levels in many European countries, leading to a slowdown in order intake from aerospace manufacturers.
