Processed metal products—including fabricated steel, aluminum components, copper parts, and other metal assemblies—play a crucial role in Iran’s manufacturing, construction, automotive, and machinery sectors.
Iran has developed advanced capabilities in metal fabrication techniques such as casting, forging, machining, welding, and surface treatment. These processes enable the production of high-quality finished and semi-finished metal products tailored to meet domestic and international standards.
Processed metal products contribute significantly to value addition beyond raw metal exports, supporting industrial diversification, job creation, and development of downstream industries. This sector also helps reduce dependency on raw material exports by moving up the value chain.
Iran supplies a range of fabricated metal goods to neighboring countries and regional markets. Competitive labor costs, proximity to key markets, and improving manufacturing technologies enhance Iran’s export potential.
Iran’s competitive advantages include a skilled workforce, access to raw materials, cost-effective energy, and strategic location. Continued investment in modern machinery, quality control, and international certifications can boost Iran’s competitiveness in the global processed metals market.
