Flanges Global Market Report 2025

Flanges, serving as ribs or rims, play a crucial role in providing strength, direction, and attachment in various systems. They facilitate the connection of pipes, valves, pumps, and other components to create a cohesive piping structure, commonly through welding or screwing methods.

The primary types of flanges include welding neck, long welding neck, slip-on, socket weld, lap joint, and other variations. Welding neck flanges, also known as high-hub or tapered hub flanges, are designed to distribute stress to the pipes, thereby reducing the concentration of high stress at the flange's base. These flanges offer increased strength, making them suitable for applications involving higher pressures, temperature variations causing line expansion or contraction, and other dynamic stresses. Flanges are crafted from diverse materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, polymers, and others, catering to a broad spectrum of industries including aviation and aerospace, petrochemical, architectural decoration, food and beverage processing, construction, and more.

The flanges market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.19 billion in 2024 to $5.53 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial growth and infrastructure development, expansion of oil and gas exploration, power generation projects, shipbuilding and marine industries, chemical and petrochemical sector growth.

The flanges market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of renewable energy projects, emphasis on corrosion-resistant materials, increased focus on sustainable practices, rise in pipeline construction projects, global events, and energy policies. Major trends in the forecast period include integration with digital twin technologies, focus on sealing technologies, technological integration in flange design, advancements in manufacturing technologies, global events and energy policies.

The expanding petroleum industry is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the flanges market. Flanges play a pivotal role in piping systems, with their demand escalating due to diverse factors such as pipeline construction and expansion, refinery operations, oil and gas exploration, as well as upstream and downstream projects. Additionally, global energy demand, technological advancements, government policies, and international trade collectively contribute to the heightened necessity for flanges. Notably, according to Statistique Canada's March 2023 report, the production of refined petroleum products surged to 112.3 million cubic meters in 2022, marking a 0.8% increase from the previous year. This growth was primarily attributed to a substantial uptick in kerosene-type jet fuel production by 44.7% and a 2.1% increase in distillate fuel oil production, solidifying the correlation between the petroleum industry's expansion and the burgeoning flanges market.

The burgeoning expansion of the automobile industry is poised to drive the growth of the flanges market. Flanges serve as indispensable components within exhaust systems, witnessing heightened demand fueled by increased vehicle production, stringent emission control mandates, and advancements in automotive technologies. Various factors including aftermarket sales for replacement parts, the global reach of the automotive sector, supply chain intricacies, government regulations, and evolving consumer preferences contribute to the escalating need for flanges. As reported by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association in February 2023, global motor vehicle production surged to 85.4 million units in 2022, reflecting a 5.7% increase compared to 2021. This notable rise in production strongly correlates with the escalating demand for flanges, substantiating the pivotal role of the automobile industry in propelling the growth of the flanges market.

Key players within the flanges market are directing their efforts towards product innovation to maintain their market standing. For instance, in April 2023, Attabox LLC, a prominent US-based manufacturer specializing in polycarbonate enclosures, introduced an innovative alternative to traditional mounting feet - full flanges that are compatible with polycarbonate enclosures or available as an accessory kit. These flanges, designed to adapt to various surfaces and compatible with diverse mounting hardware, feature a novel water-shedding design aimed at preventing water accumulation. Targeting industries such as electrical, oil and gas, manufacturing, security, and communications, these flanges offer installation flexibility through a mounting cross that supports multiple screw positions. They are available through standard enclosure catalog numbers or as standalone accessory kits, ideal for non-hazardous industrial applications, underscoring the commitment to innovation within the flanges market.

Prominent enterprises operating within the flanges market are directing their focus towards launching novel solutions featuring innovative designs, notably incorporating water-shedding designs, to bolster their market standing. The water-shedding design integrated into flanges encompasses specific features aimed at averting water accumulation. These designs often entail built-in radii or structural elements facilitating the efficient shedding of water, thereby preventing pooling or accumulation on the flange surfaces. For instance, in April 2023, Attabox LLC, a US-based manufacturer specializing in polycarbonate enclosures, unveiled a robust alternative to conventional mounting feet such as full flanges compatible with polycarbonate enclosures or available as supplementary accessory kits. Engineered to accommodate diverse surfaces and compatible with various mounting hardware, these flanges boast an innovative water-shedding design, effectively preventing water buildup. Tailored for applications across industries such as electrical, oil and gas, manufacturing, security, and communications, these flanges offer adaptable installation capabilities, incorporating a mounting cross that supports multiple screw positions. Accessible through standard enclosure catalog numbers or as standalone accessory kits, these flanges are well-suited for non-hazardous industrial applications, signifying a commitment to innovation within the market.
