#13 In EuropeThe Metal Treatment, Coating & Machining industry in Europe is all about honing and enhancing metal. Using processes such as electroplating, heat treatment and laser cutting, it gets metals ready for their various end uses - anything from construction to motor vehicle manufacturing. However, this work isn't easy or cheap, as it needs lots of energy. Not to mention, the ever-rising energy costs in Europe have pushed up production costs, hitting countries like Germany, Italy, France, and Austria pretty hard. Industry revenue is expected to tumble at a compound annual rate of 4.5% over the five years through 2024 to €151.2 billion – including an estimated 2.5% slump over the current year.
