US Demand for Fabricated Metal Products to Increase 2.7% Yearly to 2022

CLEVELAND, Aug. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- US demand for fabricated metal products is forecast to rise 2.7% per annum through 2022, according to Fabricated Metal Products: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Suppliers will benefit from rising domestic durable goods shipments and continued growth in the US construction sector and tariffs on imports of foreign steel and aluminum, as well as fabricated metal products. However, further gains will be limited by ongoing competition from metal castings and alternative materials such as plastics.
