The global vacuum furnaces market size was valued at $934.1 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,298.8 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.2% from 2021 to 2031. Vacuum furnace heat-treats workpieces in an air-free environment. The absence of oxygen in the furnace allows the furnace to heat the workpiece at extremely elevated temperatures. This way, vacuum furnace prevents oxidation or decarburization of the workpiece during heat treatment; thus, no metamorphic layers are formed.
Vacuum furnaces are available in a wide range of sizes, capacities, operations, and technologies in the market, thereby making them usable for a wide range of applications in industries and R&D institutes. Often, when the workpiece is heated in a traditional furnace, it tends to change its surface characteristics; thus, vacuum furnaces are used.
Rise in population, globalization, and rise in disposable income of people has fueled the growth of industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical equipment manufacturing. These industries are major users of vacuum furnaces; thus, growth in these industries is expected to drive the vacuum furnaces market. In addition, rise in population and urbanization has fueled the demand in building construction sector, which is expected to positively affect the vacuum furnaces market. Furthermore, rise in R&D activities in developing countries such as India, China, Vietnam, Brazil and others is anticipated to drive the demand for vacuum furnaces market. However, the low heat transfer efficiency of vacuum furnaces is expected to constrain the market. Furthermore, development of technologies that have enabled vacuum furnaces to be more efficient is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the vacuum furnaces market growth.
The vacuum furnaces market is segmented on the basis of type, operation, end-user industries, and region. By component, the market is bifurcated into horizontal and vertical. On the basis of operation, it is segmented into external heat treatment and internal heat treatment. Furthermore, on the basis of end-user industry, the market is categorized into industrial and research. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The major players that operate in the global market have adopted key strategies such as business expansion, partnership, product launch, and product development to strengthen their market outreach and sustain the stiff competition in the market.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Global Vacuum Furnaces Market," the global vacuum furnaces market size was valued at $934.09 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $1.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2022 to 2031.The most commonly observed types of vacuum furnaces available on the market are horizontal and vertical. Among these, the horizontal segment accounted for the highest market share in 2021, owing to its easy usability and easy maintenance. The market is analyzed with respect to different operations of vacuum furnaces, such as external heat treatment and internal heat treatment. Among these, internal heat treatment segment is expected to witness the fastest growth with a high CAGR, owing to faster heating and cooling speed. And by end-user industry, it is segmented into industrial and research. Among these, industrial segment registered the highest revenue in 2021. Furthermore, the market is mainly driven by rise in automotive and aerospace industry, which is attributed to rise in R&D activities across the globe. However, low heat transfer efficiency of the vacuum furnace constrains the vacuum furnaces market growth.
In 2021, Asia-Pacific dominated the global vacuum furnaces market share in terms of revenue, followed by North America and Europe. Moreover, the market in LAMEA is expected to grow at a high CAGR, owing to growth in number of industries.
The key players in the vacuum furnaces industry are constantly working on making their products efficient and production-friendly. For instance, in April 2021, SECO/WARWICK, Inc., received the patent for a low-pressure carburizing pit vacuum furnace. This new technology is known as Pit-LPC®. It is an efficient alternative to gas carburizing. It is three times more efficient than a gas-fired furnace.
However, during the pandemic lockdown, various manufacturers in the vacuum furnaces market had to stop their business in countries such as China, the U.S., and India. This halt directly impacted sales of vacuum furnace manufacturing companies in the initial lockdowns. In addition, lack of manpower and raw materials constrained the supply of raw materials for vacuum furnaces and negatively influenced the growth of the market. However, after two years of the COVID-19 outbreak and introduction of vaccinations, the severity of the pandemic has significantly reduced and key players in the market are recovering rapidly.
