According to a research report published by decision advisor and Consulting, the Canada Sheet Metal Market is anticipated to reach USD 4,716.36 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.65% from 2025 to 2035. The market for sheet metal is expanding due to growing consumer demand for materials that are lightweight, affordable, and energy-efficient. Besides, growing automotive production, a spike in construction businesses, and developments in smart manufacturing processes are some of the key drivers for market expansion.

Market Overview

The industry in Canada that develops, manufactures, and distributes thin, flat metal pieces mainly made of steel and aluminium that are produced by industrial processes like rolling, bending, stamping, forging, and cutting is referred to as the sheet metal market. Sheet metal is employed extensively in many industries, such as manufacturing, transportation, aviation, and construction, because of its strength, adaptability, low weight, and simplicity of fabrication. Roofs, automobile body sheets, enclosures, frames, and machinery for industries are just some of the applications for sheet metal, which is an essential aspect in modern manufacturing and engineering. The market is driven by growing infrastructure projects, expanding automotive production, and Canada's acceptance of advanced manufacturing technologies. It includes activities that encompass advanced fabrication to raw material processing.

The Canadian government gave more than $24 million to help ten businesses in Southern Ontario's manufacturing sector, including MetalWorks Corp. and Accumetal Manufacturing Inc. The objective of this investment is to help these businesses get the newest welding and fabrication tools, make them more competitive, and come up with new ideas for the defence, energy, and transportation sectors. It also indicates that the government is directly trying to improve Canada's ability to make metal.

In July 2025, the Canadian government said it would take steps to make sure that Canadian steel is used first in federal procurement and national infrastructure projects. Steel imports that had been melted or poured in China from countries other than the U.S. had to pay an extra 25% countries, which strengthens support for making things locally. Further, the goal was to strengthen steel companies to make them more competitive and protect jobs. The government also made more companies eligible for lower-cost financing programs.
