Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market volume for base metal castors with mountings in Portugal increased from 828 t to 1299 t, while the market value rose from 6.4 million USD to 7.3 million USD. This growth was primarily driven by higher imports. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and caused raw material shortages and price increases, leading to a contraction in market volume to 936 t and a value of 6.5 million USD.

After 2020, import volumes remained elevated, peaking at 1109 t in 2024, while exports stayed below pre-pandemic levels. The metalworking sector entered a gradual recovery phase, focusing on technological innovation and decarbonization, which supported sustained domestic demand for castors.

By 2025, the industry faced new European regulations such as the Construction Products Regulation, affecting metal materials for construction, and growing demand for metals from the electric vehicle market. However, structural disadvantages like high energy costs in Portugal continued to pose challenges for the sector's competitiveness.
