San Francisco, 17 April 2024: The Report Metal Forging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Raw Material (Carbon Steel, Aluminum, Alloy Steel), By Application (Automotive, Aerospace, Oil & Gas), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

The global metal forging market size is expected to reach USD 145.44 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. Rising awareness about climate change and increasing investment in renewables, especially in wind and hydro, by governments is expected to boost the consumption of forged components. Thus, this investment is expected to propel the product demand during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2021, the U.S government unveiled plans to build up to 7 major offshore wind farms. The government is targeting to produce 30 gigawatts of wind power by 2030.

Similarly, in April 2022, the government of the country announced that it is planning to develop a 40 GW offshore wind project by 2050 that is expected to spread over 50 wind farms.Metal forging is the process, in which metals are shaped and formed using compressive force. These forces are applied using pressing, hammering, and rolling. Increasing demand for the product in various industries, such as power, construction, agriculture, marine, and aerospace, is anticipated to augment the market growth.Based on raw material, carbon steel accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021 and it is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period.

The growth is attributed to the properties of the material as the product often has a tight grain structure, which makes it mechanically strong to withstand friction. Also, carbon steel is cheaper than its counterparts.Construction is anticipated to expand at a steady CAGR, in terms of revenue, during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to increasing government investment in the construction sector to untangle the negative impact created by the COVID-19 pandemic.In November 2021, the Italian government came up with a new recovery and resilience plan to foster economic growth by 1.5 to 2.5% by 2026. The government is expected to invest in the construction of public buildings, renewable energy, and waste & water management.

In 2021, Asia Pacific was the largest regional market, in terms of revenue as well as volume. China and India were the largest consumers of metal forgings in 2021 in the APAC region. The rising demand for forged products from various application industries, such as construction, automotive, and energy, has pushed product consumption in the region.The global metal market is highly competitive. The rising demand for forged products has forced key manufacturers to opt for merger & acquisition strategies. For instance, in June 2021, Bharat Forge, a leading forging company in India announced that they have acquired Sanghvi Forging & Engineering Ltd.

The demand for metal forged parts from the aerospace industry is driven by the rise in the number of flyers across the globe, which is propelling aircraft production and benefitting market growth. For instance, in 2021, Boeing delivered 302 aircraft, which was nearly double as compared to the previous year. Furthermore, in March 2022, Boeing announced that they are planning to double the production of 737 Max. This kind of trend in the aerospace industry is expected to boost the demand for metal forgings during the forecast period. The U.S. GDP grew by 6.9% in Q4 2021, compared to Q4 2020.

Metal Forging Market Report Highlights

• The aluminum raw materials segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to the high demand for lightweight materials from industries, such as aerospace, power generation, and automotive
• The aerospace application segment is expected to grow at a steady CAGR during the forecast period due to the high demand for air travel owing to changes in social behavior, which, in turn, is boosting aircraft production
• North America is expected to register a CAGR of 4.7%, in terms of volume, from2022 to 2030. Increasing investment in the construction & infrastructure industry and demand for renewables is driving the regional market
• The agriculture application segment is expected to register a significant CAGR, in terms of revenue, during the forecast period
• Steady demand for farm equipment in countries, such as India and Brazil, is likely to support market growth in the coming years

This surge was attributed to consumer activity and capital expenditure spending that augmented the U.S. economy to its strongest growth since 1984. The country touched a 37-year high of 5.7% in 2021. The recovery indicates a resumption of industrial activities, which, in turn, is anticipated to augment the demand for metal forgings in the country over the coming years. The growth of the market is being driven by the rising investments in energy, infrastructure, aerospace, and transportation, among others. In 2021, U.S. Senate passed a massive infrastructure bill worth USD 1 trillion. As per this bill, the government is heavily investing in roads, bridges, Electric Vehicle (EV) networks, public transit, high-speed internet, and clean drinking water.

Rising investment in the modernization of power generation and renewable energy is expected to boost the demand for metal forged components during the forecast period. For instance, in September 2021, a USD 550.00 billion clean energy investment bill was passed by U.S Senate. The bill has a provision of USD 73.00 billion for clean energy generation. The automotive industry has been one of the prominent end-users of the market and is anticipated to maintain its dominance in terms of both volume and revenue. However, a consistent decline in vehicle production in the past few years is an ongoing challenge for the market. For instance, U.S. auto sales witnessed a 20% decline in sales in Q4 2021.

Metal Forging Market Report Scope

Carbon steel held the largest revenue share of more than 43.5% in 2021 of the global market. Based on the carbon content, there are three grades of carbon steel, namely low, medium, and high. The material cost of carbon steel is less compared to stainless steel. Hence, carbon steel forgings are used in oilfield and automotive applications. Aluminum is expected to witness the fastest growth rate, in terms of volume, during the forecast period. The aluminum forged parts are ideal for places where safety is critical, and a lighter metal is required for energy efficiency or speed. Aluminum forged parts are used inside assemblies of automobiles, tractors, airplanes, energy missiles, drilling equipment, and ships.
