The isothermal forging market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.89 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of automation in isothermal forging, growth in electric vehicle component forging, increasing demand for lightweight high-strength alloys, expansion of defense and aerospace projects, increasing integration of smart manufacturing technologies in forging plants. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of automated isothermal forging systems, increasing use of advanced heating processes for metal forming, growth in aerospace and defense component production, expansion of automotive and construction equipment applications, rising demand for high-precision titanium and alloy forgings.

The rising demand for automobiles is projected to boost the growth of the isothermal forging market in the future. Automobiles are land-based, self-propelled vehicles designed for passenger or commercial use, typically featuring four or more wheels and powered by combustion engines. Isothermal forging is a crucial process in the automotive industry for manufacturing high-performance, intricately shaped components that require strength, durability, and precision. As the demand for automobiles increases, it will consequently drive the expansion of the isothermal forging market. For instance, in March 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based organization representing leading automobile manufacturers, reported that the EU car market grew significantly in 2023, with a 13.9% increase compared to 2022, reaching a total volume of 10.5 million units. Therefore, the growing demand for automobiles is propelling the growth of the isothermal forging market.

Key players in the isothermal forging market are increasingly investing in the development of advanced technologies, such as isothermal forging modules, to boost production efficiency, improve the mechanical properties of forged components, and satisfy the stringent performance standards of sectors like aerospace and automotive. Isothermal forging modules are specialized manufacturing systems engineered to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the forging process, which optimizes material properties and enhances the performance of the finished components. For example, in April 2024, ALD, a fleet management and operational car leasing company based in France, was chosen by Safran to provide an isothermal forging system. This state-of-the-art system is designed to enhance the forging process, enabling the production of complex geometries with superior mechanical properties. By leveraging isothermal forging, ALD’s system improves the material characteristics of components, leading to greater strength and durability, which are essential for high-demand applications in the aerospace industry.

In April 2023, Airbus, a France-based aviation and aerospace component manufacturing company, joined forces with Safran and Tikehau Capital to acquire Aubert & Duval for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition marks a significant milestone in the development of a major European leader in vital components and materials, poised to compete globally, support the aerospace and defense sectors, and reduce international supply risks. Aubert & Duval, a France-based provider of essential components and forged materials, adds strategic value to the collaborative effort.
