Forging Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing Demand for Forged Steel in Automotive Industry
The durability, reliability, and strength of steel forgings make it a preferred choice in the automotive industry. Stainless steel, alloy, and carbon steel are among the extensively used steel types in the automotive industry for producing various components such as connecting rods, control arms, rocker arms, crankshafts, camshafts, tie rod ends, and steering knuckles. The steel forging process can produce automotive parts with near-net shapes, requiring no further machining through the closed die method, thus saving both money and time. Also, the closed die forging method can be used to customize all kinds of automotive components made from steel alloys, such as ASTM4140 steel and AISI 1045 steel. The closed die steel forging techniques are mostly used for manufacturing automotive parts for various commercial and passenger vehicles and lightweight steel forgings for electric vehicles (EVs). Thus, the growing use of forged steel in the automotive industry is driving the forging market.
Improving Economic Conditions and Technological Advancements in Forging Equipment and Process
In the fast-developing industries, the demand for complex and innovative forged products is rising. The automated closed die forging process has drawn the attention of equipment suppliers toward the development of new forging equipment and forging processes. In commercial aerospace applications, these new forging machines are able to forge extra-large nickel- and titanium-based alloy parts. Currently, automation in the industry has a moderate positive impact on the growth of the closed-die forging market, but it is expected to increase during the forecast period.
The companies operating in this market are engaged in providing lean, resilient, flexible, and adaptable forging processes to sustain the rising competition in the metal forming market. Further, end-use industries such as oil & gas, shipbuilding, automotive, power generation, aerospace, and construction are experiencing significant growth in nations such as India and China for closed-die forged products. Thus, improving economic conditions and constant technological innovations in forging techniques are expected to provide opportunities in the forging market during the forecast period.
