Establishments primarily engaged in rolling, drawing, and extruding nonferrous metals other than copper and aluminum. The products of this industry are in the form of basic shapes, such as plate, sheet, strip, bar, and tubing. Establishments primarily engaged in recovering nonferrous metals and alloys from scrap or dross are classified in Industry 3341; those manufacturing gold, silver, tin, and other foils, except aluminum, are classified in Industry 3497; and those manufacturing aluminum foil are classified in Industry 3353.
The Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding of Nonferrous Metals industry (NAICS 3356), excluding copper and aluminum, has witnessed several significant trends. One notable trend is the increased focus on sustainability and recycling. Companies are investing heavily in sustainable practices to meet consumer and regulatory demands, reducing their environmental footprint through advanced recycling techniques and energy-efficient processes.
Additionally, technological advancements are playing a critical role in enhancing production efficiency. The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as IoT, AI, and machine learning, is on the rise, enabling predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and improved quality control.
The demand for nonferrous metals is also being driven by the renewable energy sector, particularly in the manufacturing of batteries and electric vehicles (EVs). Governments and corporations alike are investing in green technologies, which in turn boosts the need for metals like lithium, nickel, and zinc. This trend is expected to continue as the transition to renewable energy sources accelerates.
Geopolitical factors and supply chain disruptions pose both challenges and opportunities for the industry. Companies are seeking to diversify their supply chains to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical tensions and pandemic-related disruptions. This has led to an increased interest in localizing supply chains and investing in domestic production capabilities.
Overall, the near future for the NAICS 3356 industry looks promising, with sustainability, technological innovation, and the renewable energy sector driving significant growth and transformation. Companies that adapt to these trends are likely to gain a competitive edge in the evolving market landscape.
