Sheet metal products have high strength and are deployed in sturdy structures. Moreover, these products are thin and lightweight, which makes them easy to transport. They are ideal for use in various weather conditions and provide moisture and corrosion resistance. Other advantages of using sheet metal include durability, recyclability, and widespread availability, thus making it a suitable choice for use in construction applications.

The increasing number of single-family construction projects in the U.S. contributes to economic growth and job creation in the construction industry and also caters to the evolving housing needs of individuals and families across the country. This has resulted in a growing population that prefers renting over homeownership, thereby increasing the demand for well-maintained single-family rental properties. This overall trend is expected to positively impact the market in the U.S.

The use of lightweight materials and alloys with titanium and aluminum is likely to contribute to the growth of the sector. Titanium is a stronger and lighter metal than steel. It is alloyed with iron, aluminum, manganese, and other metals to improve physical and chemical properties. Demand for titanium metal is anticipated to grow on account of its extensive use in the aerospace industry for applications, including aircraft skin, structural parts, engine components, hydraulic systems, missiles, and rockets.
