Growing Industrialization Fuels North America Isostatic Pressing Market
Growing industrialization has led to a heightened demand for advanced materials with specific properties such as enhanced strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Isostatic pressing is a key manufacturing process for shaping and consolidating these materials. In the aerospace industry, where components require high strength and lightweight properties, isostatic pressing is used to manufacture intricate parts from advanced materials such as titanium, alloys, and ceramics. Industrialization has driven the adoption of powder metallurgy techniques, and isostatic pressing is integral to this process. It allows for efficient shaping and consolidation of metal powders to produce high-performance components.For example, in automotive manufacturing, isostatic pressing is utilized to shape and consolidate metal powders for producing components such as gears, bushings, and connecting rods with superior mechanical properties. As industries become more specialized, there is an increasing need for precision and consistency in the production of components. Isostatic pressing ensures uniform density and accurate shaping, meeting stringent quality requirements. In the medical sector, isostatic pressing is employed to manufacture precise and consistent components such as dental implants and prosthetics, where accuracy is crucial for optimal performance.
A combination of factors, including government policy, entrepreneurial ambitions, and labor-saving inventions, can drive industrialization. Thus, the growing industrialization is driving the isostatic pressing market by creating demand for advanced materials, precision-manufactured components, efficient powder metallurgy, metal matrix composites, and supporting additive manufacturing.
North America Isostatic Pressing Market Overview
The North America isostatic pressing market is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The North America aviation industry would continue to generate relatively higher profits from the US because of the presence of many aircraft OEMs in the US. The country is the world's largest aircraft manufacturer. With the launch and purchase of new aircraft, several contracts and agreements are routinely signed among aircraft providers, airlines, and defense agencies. These factors are fueling the demand for aircrafts in North America significantly. According to the General Aviation Manufacturer's Association (GAMA), in 2020, 1,312 Piston Aircraft were delivered in the US; this number increased to 1,409 in 2021.Similarly, ~443 Turboprop Aircraft were delivered in 2020, and the number reached 527 in 2021. Also, 674 helicopters were delivered in 2020 which raised to 860 in 2021. Isostatic pressing is extensively used in the aerospace industry. Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is used to remove porosity from a large range of nickel-based superalloy and titanium precision castings for structural components and aircraft engines.
Aerospace materials that typically can be densified using HIP, such as aluminum alloy castings, metal matrix composites (MMCs), cobalt-chromium alloy castings, stainless steel castings, alloy steel castings, nickel and cobalt-based superalloy castings, and titanium alloy castings. Therefore, with the growing aerospace industry, the demand for isostatic pressing is increasing.
