While demand from the domestic construction sector has spurred Metal Structure Manufacturing industry growth, it has faced challenges due to intense import competition and volatile input prices. An influx of cheap imported steel from abroad has adversely affected demand for metal structure manufacturers. Over the five years through 2023-24, metal structure makers' revenue is forecast to fall at a compound annual rate of 1.9% to £8.2 billion.

Companies in this industry manufacture metal structures such as metal frameworks, parts for construction and industrial frameworks.
