has announced the addition of the "Fabricated Metal Product
Manufacturing" report to their offering.
The US fabricated metal product manufacturing industry includes
about 55,000 companies with about $295 billion in combined annual
revenue. Major companies in specialty segments include Ball
Corporation, Flowserve, Mueller Industries, Snap-On, and The Timken
Company. Because of the special manufacturing processes involved
for individual parts, most companies make a limited range of
products. The industry as a whole is fragmented: the largest 50
companies account for about 20 percent of revenue. But
concentration can be high in industry segments such as boiler,
cutlery, metal can, and spring manufacturing.
Globally, the fabricated metal product manufacturing industry
generates about $1.5 trillion in annual revenue. Top producers
include the US, China, Japan, Germany, Italy, and Canada. Major
companies based outside the US include Schaeffler Technologies
(Germany), Toyo Seikan Kaisha (Japan), and Jiangsu Guotai
International (China).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand is driven largely by the needs of other industrial
companies and is therefore linked to economic growth. The
profitability of individual companies depends on technical
expertise and efficient manufacturing. Large companies have
economies of scale in purchasing raw materials.
