Metal Casing Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Production, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2021-2028

The global Metal Casing market size is expected to be worth around US$ 47.41 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Metal Casing market size was valued at US$ 36.99 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% during forecast period 2021 to 2028.

Growth Factors

Growing preference for the metal body in smartphones, laptops, and notebooks is anticipated to propel market growth over the forecast period.

Metal casing is referred to as an external component used in several products, such as phone, tablet, laptop, and notebook. It is produced by various technologies, including stamping, metal injection molding (MIM), die casting, and extrusion using materials, such as magnesium, aluminum, titanium alloys, and stainless steel.

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are mainly used for metal casing. Factors including rigidity, durability, stylish appeal, ease of manufacturing, and good heat conduction have boosted the product demand. Although metals and plastics come at a similar price range, the cost of metal processing is higher, which makes the overall metal casing expensive, giving the end product a premium appeal.

Mobile phones, tablets, movable power sources, notebooks and laptops, and wearable devices are the key application segments of the global market. All metal designs have witnessed high penetration in the overall casing market. With the introduction of smart devices, metal casing witnessed an upsurge in demand. The COVID-19 pandemic augmented the growth of the PC industry as demand for notebooks and laptops witnessed a boost in sectors, such as IT, banks, BPOs, and education.

Companies have reported positive growth in sales of their laptops and notebooks during the pandemic. For example, The Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), a renowned IT company, reported its third-quarter sales in August 2020, where its net revenue for notebooks was USD 7,304 million for the period of April-July 2020, which is 30% higher on a yearly basis and 44% higher on a quarterly basis.

Report Highlights

Mobile phones emerged as the largest application segment of the market, accounting for a revenue share of more than 47.02% in 2019. They are expected to maintain their lead over the forecast period. Metal casing gained prominence in the mobile phone industry with the advent of smartphones. In addition, its preference further increased due to the demand for eco-friendly, slim, and multi-functional smartphones as these casings provide high tensile strength, high ventilation efficiency, and enhanced aesthetic appeal.

Tablet is another prominent application segment of the global market. Metal casing provides robustness to slim tablet devices. Metal started replacing plastics in tablets to achieve a better build and quality. Prominent brands such as Amazon and Samsung utilize metal casing for their tablets. The demand for tablets accelerated owing to the spread of COVID-19 as there was a surge in the adoption of e-learning across educational institutions and enterprises. Additionally, tablet manufacturers are expected to strike partnerships with schools, colleges, and edutech firms in India to expand their target markets. Growing demand for tablets is expected to boost market growth in the near future.

Movable power sources such as power banks and portable generators use metal casing. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and surge in recreational activities worldwide have driven the demand for movable power sources. The COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase in outdoor activities, such as running, cycling, day hiking, bird watching, and camping, in the U.S. These activities propelled the demand for movable power sources, thereby benefiting the metal casing demand.

The stamping and MIM segment accounted for the largest share of more than 88.02% in 2020 and is expected to maintain its lead over the forecast period. Metal stamping delivers high tolerance, electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and smooth finish. The stamping process in the manufacturing of metal casing has gained popularity owing to its faster speed, cost-effectiveness, and ability to manufacture large quantities of products.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM) allows the manufacturing and shaping of complex casing in a cost-effective manner, which is why it has gained the manufacturers’ preference. The ability to produce components on a large scale with enhanced properties and minimum wastage has augmented the use of the MIM process in the market, especially in North America and Europe.

Die casting is another manufacturing process used in the market where the liquid metal melt is pressed into a mold under very high pressure and at a very high filling speed. Metal casing manufactured using die casting is economical. Moreover, die casting is one of the quickest manufacturing processes. Extrusion is anticipated to register a higher growth rate over die casting as extrusion is ideal for uniform cross-section and offers a lower tooling cost.

Asia Pacific dominated the global market and accounted for a share of more than 56.02% in 2020. The region is a hub for smartphones and consumer electronics manufacturers. Although the U.S.-based companies are known for their products, their assembly and manufacturing take place in Asia. For example, all Apple smartphones and Google Pixel phones are manufactured in China, whereas Samsung has its phones manufactured in South Korea, Sony in Japan, ASUS in Taiwan, and LG in India.

North America held the second-largest share in the market in 2020 owing to a wide presence of prominent PC manufacturers in the region. Although Asia, particularly China, dominates the assembly lines, there are prominent players who have their manufacturing based outside China. For example, Dell, Hewlett-Packard or HP, and Apple Inc. are among the major players of the PC industry who have production and assembly lines in the U.S.
