About this industry
Industry definition
Die Branche der Stahlbearbeitung hat als Abnehmer von Stahl und Zulieferer von Stahlprodukten eine Schlüsselstellung für wichtige Industriezweige der deutschen Wirtschaft inne. Neben dem Stahlpreis wird die Branche von nachgelagerten Branchen, insbesondere dem Baugewerbe und der Automobilindustrie, beeinflusst. Der Branchenumsatz ist in den letzten fünf Jahren um durchschnittlich 1,8 % pro Jahr auf 9,5 Milliarden Euro gestiegen. Dies ist insbesondere auf die insgesamt hohe Stahlnachfrage seitens der Bau- und Automobilindustrie sowie auf die sehr hohen Stahlpreise zwischen 2021 und 2023 zurückzuführen.<BR />Im Jahr 2024 wird der Branchenumsatz voraussichtlich um 5,5 % sinken, was vor allem auf den hohen Leitzins der Europäischen Zentralbank zurückzuführen ist. Dadurch sind Bau- und Immobilienfinanzierungen aktuell relativ teuer, was die Bautätigkeit dämpft. Dies wiederum führt zu einer schwachen Nachfrage im Bausektor nach Branchenprodukten wie Kaltprofilen und Sandwichplatten. Obwohl Deutschland nicht über die Produktionskapazitäten von Ländern wie China verfügt, sind die Erzeugnisse der deutschen Stahlbearbeiter international wettbewerbsfähig. Das liegt vorwiegend daran, dass sich die Unternehmen der Branche auf die Produktion hochwertiger Stähle konzentrieren und stark in moderne Maschinen, Anlagen und fortschrittliche Produktionsverfahren investieren.<BR />In den nächsten fünf Jahren wird der Branchenumsatz voraussichtlich um durchschnittlich 0,1 % zurückgehen und im Jahr 2029 einen Stand von 9,4 Milliarden Euro erreichen. Der Trend zur Leichtbauweise in Industriezweigen wie der Automobilbau und der Luft- und Raumfahrt sorgt dafür, dass in den Produkten zunehmend Metalle wie Aluminium und andere Werkstoffe anstelle von Stahl verwendet werden. Dieser Trend dürfte sich auch in Zukunft fortsetzen und sich negativ auf die Entwicklung der Branche auswirken. Hinzu kommt, dass die Branchenakteure wegen der immer strengeren Umweltvorschriften erhebliche Investitionen in die Modernisierung ihrer Maschinen und Anlagen tätigen müssen, um ihre CO2-Emissionen zu senken. Viele Branchenunternehmen können sich dies finanziell nicht leisten, weshalb in den nächsten fünf Jahren mit Marktaustritten und Konsolidierungen auf dem Markt zu rechnen ist.
