Automotive, one of the segments analysed in the report, is projected to record a 2.6% CAGR and reach US$ 37.3 billion by the end of the analysis period. After an early analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the construction segment has been readjusted to a revised 2.1% CAGR for the next seven-year period.

“The sheet metal market in the U.S. is estimated at US$ 19.4 billion in the year 2020.

In the global ‘Machinery’ segment of the report, the USA, Canada, Japan, China and Europe will drive the 2.6% CAGR estimated for this segment. These regional markets, accounting for a combined market size of US$ 10.8 billion in the year 2020, will reach a projected size of US$ 13 billion by the close of the analysis period. China will remain among the fastest growing in this cluster of regional markets.
