La forge et la fonderie : panorama économique de nos métiers et marchés (forgefonderie.org)
Le chiffre d’affaires global des industriels de la fonderie en 2022 s’établit à 5,9 Md€, soit une hausse de 18 % par rapport à 2021, pour un volume de 1 584 million de tonnes. Ce résultat est le reflet de la demande soutenue de la plupart des marchés clients et se traduit par une légère augmentation des effectifs (0,05 %) soit 28288 salariés pour environ 330 établissements dénombrés, et ce malgré la fermeture d’une dizaine de fonderies durant l’année 2022.

EFF Annual Report – Europe’s Key Players
Available for download here The 2024 annual report of the European Foundry Federation (EFF) provides a comprehensive overview of the European foundry industry in a particularly challenging economic context. The year 2024 was marked by a widespread slowdown in industrial activity across Europe, affecting both ferrous and non-ferrous foundries. Total foundry production declined significantly due to a drop in demand from key customer sectors – automotive, construction, mechanical engineering, and industrial equipment – combined with high energy costs, increased regulatory pressure, and stronger international competition. Ferrous foundries were the most affected, while the non-ferrous segment showed greater resilience, although it too experienced a decline. The report also highlights the social and structural consequences of this situation: workforce reductions, site closures, and ongoing investment pressures. Despite these challenges, the foundry industry remains a strategic link in European industrial value chains, essential for the energy transition, infrastructure, mobility, and industrial sovereignty. Through this directory and statistical analysis, the EFF reaffirms its role as a reference for sector knowledge and its commitment to a competitive, resilient, and sustainable European foundry industry. ForgeFonderie France fully aligns with this dynamic as an active member of the European federation. Reports of the Countries |
