Structural Metal Product Manufacturing in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Steel standing: Demand from major downstream markets to bolster industry performance

Structural metal product manufacturers make products like garage doors, window shutters, metal doors, door and window frames, steel railings, stairs, elevated platforms, balustrades and gates, as well as specialised and customised products for niche markets. These products are mostly supplied to downstream construction industries for use in their operations. Most of the industry comprises small manufacturers that produce standardised products, and the industry is highly fragmented - many companies are classified as non-employing businesses, meaning that price competition among manufacturers is substantial. Industry firms primarily manufacture architectural steel, wrought iron or other metal products. The industry does not include items used to maintain buildings’ structural integrity or structural metal products made from aluminium. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
