The Steel Fabrication Market Size was valued at USD 20.66 Billion in 2023. The Steel Fabrication industry is projected to grow from USD 21.34 Billion in 2024 to USD 27.67 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.30% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Steel fabrication is defined as producing steel-crafted structures and assemblies. This is referred to be a value-added service since it uses multiple methods such as welding, machining, shaping, and cutting to distort the raw material and build a completely new structure. Welding, cutting, machining, and shearing are just a few of the value-added services offered by steel fabrication facilities. Steel fabricators provide value to their customers by offering a comprehensive range of services in one location. The burgeoning growth of the building & construction industry is grabbing the attention of stakeholders in the market. Builders and contractors are increasing efforts to gain a clear understanding of steel building construction techniques to specialize in various end-use cases. A rise in public sector investments in non-residential buildings and non-residential structures is also expected to drive market growth.
