Metallurgy and mining play a crucial role in the manufacturing industry, and their interdependence underscores their significance to the national economy.

Although the metalworking industry  has been impacted by the economic and health crisis, it has adapted by embracing technological progress, leading to increased demand for skilled staff. The metallurgy sector accounts for 3 million direct and indirect jobs, with around 43,000 companies, mainly SMEs, as well as major groups such as Airbus, Alstom, Naval Group and Schneider Electric.

Innovation is central to this sector, where advanced techniques are used to produce a wide range of metal products for various industrial applications. However, the sector remains heavily reliant on primary natural resources, raising concerns about their responsible management

Issues & Challenges

The challenges facing the sector require :

  • Invest in emerging technologies  to sustain competitiveness and address market demands.
  • Recruit, train and retain skilled workers to meet growing market demand.
  • Optimise the routing of materials to reduce the environmental footprint of transport.
  • Responsibly manage dwindling primary natural resources.
