There are several on-going projects in private sector companies, in the end-user segment, such as oil and gas, mining, and construction. As a result, the metal fabrication industry in Canada is not expected to witness a sudden surge, and remain stable over the next few years. The industry is highly fragmented due the presence of a large number of small- and medium-sized companies.  Metal fabrication is expected to have a large scope in end-user segments, such as oil and gas, mining, construction, aerospace, power generation, and ship building.  The reshoring of various manufacturing activities in Canada had a positive impact on the steel fabrication industry in the country. Automotive companies and other manufacturing companies that require fabricated steel products have been outsourcing majority of their businesses to low-cost countries, like China. Government initiatives and increasing labor cost in low-cost countries, in comparison to Canada, have attracted the manufacturers to shift production to Canada.  Majority of the metal fabrication companies in Canada have been adhering to the traditional manufacturing practices, and the adoption of advanced technologies in the industry has been very low.
