According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Heat Treating Market is accounted for $109.48 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $158.20 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. A collection of industrial, thermal, and metallurgical procedures known as "heat treating" are used to change a material's physical, and sometimes chemical, qualities. The most typical use is in metallurgy. Many other materials, including glass, are made through heat treatments as well. Heat treatment uses heating or cooling-typically to very high temperatures-to harden or soften materials in order to obtain the desired outcome.
Due to expanding worldwide vehicle sales, there is an increasing demand for heat treatment to improve the efficient use of numerous components in the automotive industry. Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloys are heat-treated in order to improve their thermomechanical properties. It boosts the strength, hardness, and wear resistance of metals while also enhancing their machinability and surface qualities.
The heat treatment process employed in the metal business consumes a lot of energy, which limits market expansion. Low-energy machine use can be harmful to the environment and lessen the overall efficiency of a company's operations. Small and medium-sized firms that use outdated technologies and varied practices have become obsolete. Additionally, the market's potential growth is threatened by the high installation costs related to heat treatment.
High-strength alloys, composites, and superalloys are only a few of the cutting-edge materials that have been developed, which has increased the demand for precise and specialized heat-treating procedures. The qualities of these materials, such as their hardness, strength, ductility, and resistance to wear, corrosion, and fatigue, are all greatly improved by heat treatment. Industries like automotive and aerospace are utilizing lightweight materials like aluminum, titanium, and sophisticated composites more and more in an effort to increase fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Heat treating techniques enable these materials' attributes to be optimized while preserving their light weight properties, improving their performance and safety.
The heat treating sector is subjected to a number of legal requirements as well as environmental laws pertaining to worker safety, waste management, and emissions. Heat-treating procedures may become more complicated and expensive as a result of meeting these standards. The use of specific heat-treating techniques or chemicals could also cause environmental issues, forcing the development of more eco-friendly procedures.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused supply chain and raw material pricing volatility, which had a substantial negative impact on the U.S. automotive sector. Additionally, the pandemic hastened the emergence of environmental issues, which is expected to boost demand for environmentally friendly heat treatment equipment during the course of the projected period. Global supply chains were disrupted by the pandemic as a result of travel restrictions, lockdown procedures, and temporary industrial closures. Raw materials, components, and equipment required for heat treating procedures were affected by these disruptions.
Steel segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for heat-treated steel parts in the construction industry, particularly in the U.S., China, and India, is anticipated to drive up demand for steel heat treating. Steel is subjected to heat to achieve a variety of mechanical qualities, including as strength, wear resistance, and surface hardness. The machining and formability of steel structures are enhanced by controlled heating and cooling, which also recovers grain size.
As a result of the rapid industrialization and urbanization occurring in the region, Asia-Pacific will have the largest share over the projection period. The rapidly expanding automotive, aerospace, and construction sectors in emerging economies like India, China, and Indonesia are major drivers of the heat-treating services market. Furthermore, over the course of the projected period, it is expected that the government will spend additional funds on important infrastructure projects due to the region's fast-expanding construction sector.
Asia Pacific is estimated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period. Several government efforts to expand and strengthen these nations' manufacturing industries are driving the rapid rise of industrial activities in India. In order to increase their automobile production, a number of Indian automakers have begun researching the program and revising and calibrating their manufacturing schedules. Additionally, the region's rising demand for environmentally friendly heat treatment technology is mostly due to the region's strict government rules regarding the usage of green technologies.
