According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Metal Forging Market," The metal forging market was valued at $83.4 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $168 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2023 to 2032.Metal forging is the technique of shaping metal by the application of compressive force. If its is done at room temperature, it is termed as cold forging, and if done at elevated temperature, it is termed as warm or hot forging. The compressive force helps the grains of metal to align properly to achieve greater strength. Therefore forging process is suited for forming metal components for demanding and crucial applications in sectors such as automotive, aircraft, railroads, marine, and industrial machinery.
Metal forging is a widely adopted process used for making various components for automotive, aerospace & defense, industrial machinery, and other industries. Thus, growth in these sectors is anticipated to drive the market demand. For instance, in April 2023, Boing, a major aircraft manufacturer announced that it is ramping up the production of its 737 Max aircraft. In addition, rise in industrialization in developing nations drives up the demand for industrial machinery, which is anticipated to require large volumes of forged metal components in the coming years.
However, the limitations of the metal forging process for producing complicated shaped products and various other limitations restrain the market growth.
Furthermore, due to COVID-19, the metal forging market witnessed a halt, which led to a small-term decline in the market. However, as the number of COVID-19 cases dropped to a significant number, the market has fully recovered.
Contrarily, the development of technologically advanced and automated metal forging machines is anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the key players in the market.
The metal forging market is segmented on the basis of raw material, technique, application, and region. By raw material, the market is categorized into carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and others. Depending on technique, the market is classified into open die forging, closed die forging, and ring forging. On the basis of application, it is divided into automotive, aerospace & defense, railway, industrial machinery, and others. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, UK, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa).
Competitive analysis and profiles of the major players in the metal forging market is provided in the report. Major companies included in the report include, ATI Inc., American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., Bruck GmbH, ELLWOOD Group, Inc., Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (Precision Castparts Corp.), ASAHI FORGE CORPORATION, Trenton Forging, NIPPON STEEL CORPORATION, Bharat Forge Limited, and Canada Forgings Inc. Moreover, acquisition has been a key development strategy adopted by the key players to increase their market share.
