“ Key technology advances in metal stamping include the integration of artificial intelligence( AI), machine learning( ML), automation and energy-saving features into presses and stamping operations.”
The global metal stamping market size was valued at US $ 220.2 billion in 2024, according to analyst iMARC Group.
“ We estimate the market to reach US $ 281.5 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.8 % during 2025-2033. Asia Pacific currently dominates the market. The increasing emphasis on sustainable manufacturing practices, along with the rising adoption of metal-stamped parts in the oil and gas sector for equipment and machinery, is propelling the metal stamping market share,” commented the analyst.
Metal stamping, or pressing, converts flat metal sheet( or blanks), as well as coil, into specific shapes. It is a complex process that includes several metal forming techniques such as blanking; punching; flanging; drawing; embossing; trimming; coining and piercing. Stamping dies are the tools that shape and cut sheet metal parts. Some of the most common types of metal stamping machines include mechanical, hydraulic, hydroforming and servo presses that are fitted with multiple dies to cut and shape sheets of stainless steel and metals such as aluminium, zinc and copper.
