Großhandel mit Erzen, Metallen und Metallhalbzeugen industry analysis

Die Marktsituation der Branche barg in den vergangenen fünf Jahren einige Herausforderungen für die Branchenakteure. Neben volatilen Metallrohstoffpreisen prägten handelspolitische Spannungen zwischen den USA, China und der Europäischen Union die Branchenentwicklung. Dabei waren es insbesondere die USA, die mit den von ihnen verhängten Importzöllen auf europäischen Stahl und Aluminium in Höhe von bis zu 25 % die Exporte in die USA unattraktiver, genauer gesagt teurer für deutsche Handelsunternehmen machten. Die Coronavirus-Pandemie und der Ukraine-Krieg wirkten sich ebenfalls negativ auf die Produktion in Abnehmerbranchen wie der Automobilindustrie aus. Der starke Anstieg der Rohstoffpreise im Jahr 2021 führte auch zu höheren Umsätzen im Großhandel. So stieg der Branchenumsatz von 2019 bis 2024 um durchschnittlich 1,9 % pro Jahr. Im aktuellen Jahr wird ein Branchenumsatz in Höhe von 91 Milliarden Euro erwartet. Dies entspricht einem Wachstum von 0,2 % gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Das Umsatzwachstum der Branche dürfte im aktuellen Jahr durch verhaltene Abnehmermärkte gebremst werden. Vor allem die anhaltende Abkühlung der Baukonjunktur trägt aktuell zu einem geringen Wachstum im Metallgroßhandel bei.
