Metals
Metals is a $2+ trillion industry dominated by giants - especially on the primary metals side of the sector. Primary metals headquarters were concentrated for many years in Western Europe, North America, Japan and Russia, however, fastest growth centers of primary production today are in emerging economies like India, Brazil, and China.
Metals processing runs the gamut from fabricated metal parts and metal profiles for transportation, building and construction, packaging, electrical and electronics, etc. In the US alone, revenue attributed to metals processing exceeds $260 billion. Challenges to the industry include fluctuations in commodity pricing, fluctuating demand, and limits on emissions from manufacturing operations. In the US, for example, manufacturers face boiler MACT rules which will limit carbon monoxide and mercury emissions from large coil-fired boilers.
