Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the fabricated metal products market in Bosnia and Herzegovina will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period. It has been observed that the demand for metal doors and windows has increased significantly over the last few years, resulting in an increase in the revenue generated by this segment. The high demand for aluminum doors, aluminum thresholds for doors and windows, and aluminum frames from domestic and export markets was a major contributor to the growth of this market. Moreover, the rising demand for iron and steel doors and windows will also create a favorable environment for fabricated metal manufacturers to improve their profitability, and will be one of the major causes for propelling the growth of this market during the forecast period.
One of the emerging trends propelling the growth prospects of this market is the augmented production of light metal packaging products.
