The global metal stamping market size was estimated at USD 236.83 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2024 to 2030.
Growing consumer electronics industry is likely to remain a key driving factor based on application of metal frames in mobile phones, headphones, speakers, and gamepads & controllers. In mobile phones, metal stamping is used in manufacturing antennas, chassis, and camera lens holders as it offers high tolerance, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and a smooth finish. According to GSM Association, the global number of unique mobile subscribers was 5.31 billion in January 2021 and this number is growing at a rate of 1.8% per annum. This is likely to propel the demand for mobile phones and eventually metal stamping in coming years.

The U.S. is one of the prominent player in the industry. However, emergence of COVID-19 and subsequent temporary lockdown measures countrywide impacted operations of the industry. Downstream demand from key sectors including automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and others was largely disrupted owing to challenges in supply chain and dried-up demand from end-use customers. The situation has normalized as rate of vaccination has picked up pace. Growing demand for metal stamping in the U.S. has compelled manufacturers to expand their facilities.
For instance, in December 2020, General Motors Co. announced its plans about investing USD 6 million in its metal stamping facility in Parma, Ohio, U.S. The investment will be used to construct four new metal assembly cells to support increasing production of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.
According to International Energy Agency (IEA), global EV sales surpassed 3.4 million, out of which, China accounted for over 50% in 2021. Government initiatives, such as electric car subsidies to local manufacturers to support growth of EVs are major factors responsible for increased production. This is likely to boost the usage of sheet metal during production of auto components.
These components include chassis, interior and exterior structural, and transmission components. This, in turn, is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Market growth can be hindered as automobile manufacturers are replacing metals with plastic and carbon fiber as they assist in weight reduction of vehicles. A 10% reduction in weight of the vehicle results in a 5% to 7% increase in fuel efficiency.
Increasing production of lightweight vehicles owing to stringent government regulations in various countries is anticipated to drive demand for substitute products. For instance, in the U.S., developments in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations to enhance fuel efficiency are encouraging use of these substitute products in automobiles, which, in turn, is likely to hamper the market for metal stamping.
