The global foundry and forging robots market size reached USD 292.1 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 495.9 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.76% during 2025-2033. The escalating demand to produce premium quality products involving lower operational costs, the rising complexity of numerous foundry and forge applications, and the increasing adoption of the six-sigma in manufacturing processes represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Foundry is a type of factory where metal castings are made from a variety of metals while forging refers to a manufacturing process of giving desired shapes to the heated metal by using compressive forces. Forging and foundry robots refer to the technology that automates entire forging processes and thus increases productivity, availability of products, and efficiency. These robots are made to operate in hot and dangerous conditions so they can tolerate heat, pollution, and noise. Robots are specifically designed to endure exposure to toxic chemicals, high pressure environments, and dust, and do the job precisely. As it is a physically challenging job in a harsh environment, it is less desirable for human operation. Using these robots provides several advantages, such as a reduction in operational costs, no additional expenditures on training and healthcare, and enhanced worker safety. Forging and foundry robots can perform various functions, such as die casting, gravity casting, sand casting, finishing, chemical cleaning or water cleaning, and forging.
The escalating demand to produce premium quality products involving lower operational costs, particularly in the developing economies, is a significant factor driving the market growth. This can be attributed to the rapid industrialization resulting in the growing need for metal components. In line with this, with continual technological advancements, the complexity of numerous foundry and forge applications is increasing, which, in turn, is providing an impetus to the market. Additionally, numerous product innovations, such as responsive software programming, integration of artificial intelligence (AI), and flexible positioning and point precision, are creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Besides this, the increasing adoption of the six-sigma in the production process in various manufacturing facilities is resulting in a higher product uptake in industrial operations. However, the high cost associated with the installation and maintenance of foundry and forging robots is a major factor that is hindering the growth of the market. Conversely, fierce competition among the foundry operators on the production cost of ferrous and non-ferrous metal castings, leading to the augmenting demand for heavy-duty and heat-resistant robots, is fueling the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include rapid industrialization, inflating disposable income levels, considerable growth in the semiconductor industry and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
