Italy Metal Fabrication Equipment Market Overview, 2029

The Italian metal fabrication equipment market is fragmented and highly competitive, wherein the fabrications are increasingly looking to embrace digital technology trends to automate the fabricating processes. Hence, continuous and rigorous innovation is driving the companies to improve their profit margins and sales turnovers across the world. In Italy, the market for metal manufacturing equipment was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The supply chain for raw materials across borders has been hampered by the implementation of different rules, such as complete lockdown, social distancing norms, and the ban on imports and exports. Governments have been forced to permit the production of beds, medical equipment, and other products with a limited labor force due to public demand, which has fueled the market's need for metal fabrication tools. However, as things are picking up and governments are removing restrictions on manufacturing facilities, the need for metal fabrication equipment is expected to increase over the next few years and the Italian manufacturing area is critical to its economy, with its strong global brand and reputation. It majorly includes small and medium enterprises with less than 10 employees. Currently, the manufacturing area is established enough to take advantage of the technological transformations in the industry due to the "Industry 4.0" revolution. It is actively looking to leverage its educated workforce, strategic geographical position in Europe, and reputation for high-quality products. The manufacturing area is highly fragmented, with SMEs dominating machinery and equipment production. August 2022, the Italian Sovema Group was acquired by Schuler, a part of the global technology group ANDRITZ, enabling it to become a leading systems supplier of battery cell production solutions for the automobile industry and other markets and in collaboration with Sovema, Schuler will create the tools required to outfit gig factories for the mass fabrication of lithium-ion batteries, whose widespread availability is crucial for the commercial viability of eco-friendly e-mobility.
