The Swedish market for base metal castors with mountings experienced significant fluctuations between 2020 and 2024. In physical terms, market volume grew from 2 361 t in 2020 to 2 662 t in 2021 and reached 2 596 t in 2022, before a sharp contraction to 1 839 t in 2023. A partial recovery followed in 2024, with volume climbing to 2 444 t. A similar pattern was observed in market value, which rose from 12.9 million USD in 2020 to a high of 16.4 million USD in 2022, then dropped to 12.9 million USD in 2023 and increased again to 14.3 million USD in 2024.

The market rebound in 2024 aligned with a period of rising global demand for caster wheels, particularly from the industrial automation, healthcare, automotive, and retail sectors. This growth was supported by broader trends in product innovation, quality focus, and customization. The preceding decline in 2023 represented a substantial market correction, interrupting the earlier expansion phase.
