Market Growth Factors
Portugal's construction programs and infrastructure programs that are strong support demand for metal fabrication. Investing in residential, commercial, and industrial construction developed transport infrastructure of bridges, roads, and seaports to ease use by the nation's transport network. These projects require structural steel structures and aluminum structures. Consequently, fabricators' capacities have been increased on account of the need for corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and durable materials in structures. Government efforts toward modernizing urban infrastructure support market growth in the construction industry. Green building support and increased demand from public and private investment also aid this market growth.
Portugal's metalworking industry is investing in new technologies including automation, robotics and CAM to produce more complex, high-precision metal products more cost-effectively, and faster. New welding, cutting and bending technologies improve product quality and durability, and Industry 4.0 is transforming the metalworking sector through clever production lines with real-time monitoring of metalworking processes, enabling greater productivity, reduced lead times and costs, and optimized use of materials and resources. Over 60% of Portuguese companies expect to increase tech investments in 2025, with the largest companies leading the way, as technology is seen as a competitiveness enabler.
Automotive and renewable energy industries are key drivers for the growth of the metal fabrication market. The automotive industry requires lightweight and durable metal components for vehicle bodies, chassis, and engines, and renewable energy requires metal structures for wind turbine towers, solar power systems, and energy storage requirements, among other applications. Government subsidies for clean energy encourage demand for electric vehicles. The investment by foreign nations in the construction of electric vehicle manufacturing plants has driven the development of higher strength steel and aluminum alloys. All of these factors create the need for precision-engineered metal components and assemblies.
