Hot Roll Slitter Global Market Report 2024

The hot roll slitter market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.47 billion in 2023 to $2.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of the steel and metal industry, the demand for precision slitting processes, requirements from the automotive sector, the globalization of manufacturing, and the demand from the energy sector.

The hot roll slitter market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.06 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as renewable energy infrastructure projects, a focus on lightweight materials, increasing demand for customization and flexibility, adherence to stricter environmental standards, and ongoing urbanization and construction trends. Key trends in the forecast period encompass the digitalization of manufacturing processes, technological advancements in metal processing, the adoption of advanced material handling technologies, the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies, and a heightened focus on energy efficiency and sustainability.

The hot roll slitter market is poised for growth due to the increasing demand for stainless steel. Stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance due to chromium content, has witnessed a surge in global production. In 2021, global stainless-steel production increased by 10.6% compared to 2020, reaching 56.3 million tons, and it is expected to further grow by 4% year-over-year, reaching 58.6 million tons in 2022. This heightened demand for stainless steel is a key driver behind the growth of the hot roll slitter market. Hot roll slitters play a crucial role by cutting hot-rolled stainless-steel strips into smaller widths and recoiling them into finished coils.

The hot-roll slitter market is also anticipated to experience growth driven by the increasing demand from the metal manufacturing industry. This diverse sector involves various entities engaged in the creation, advancement, production, and modification of metal items. Hot roll slitters are instrumental in the metal manufacturing process, slicing metal coils based on required thickness and measurements. Notably, the metal manufacturing industry in Ontario saw a significant increase, with sales in the primary metal manufacturing segment rising by 54.6% in 2021, contributing to an overall growth of 11.6% in total manufacturing sales. This escalating demand from the metal manufacturing industry is propelling the hot roll slitter market.

The growth of the hot-roll slitter market may face constraints due to disruptions in supply chains. Short-term challenges such as supply chain disruptions can lead to increased costs for raw materials and transportation, impacting the profitability of hot roll slitter manufacturers. A survey conducted in November 2022 revealed that over three-quarters of companies experienced some form of external supply chain disruption, with material shortages being a prominent challenge. These disruptions in supply chains pose a challenge to the growth of the hot-roll slitter market.

Major companies in the hot roll slitter market are adopting innovative products to provide reliable services to customers. One such innovation is the introduction of shape-correction slitters, designed to correct the shape of metal coils before slitting. For instance, Ohio Pickling & Processing launched the Braner .25 Stilling Line, a Hi-Performance Shape-Correction Turret Head Slitting Line with Automatic Slit Coil Packaging. This machinery can efficiently process various metal coils, offering tight-line, single-loop, and double-loop operating modes. It features in-line CNC shape-correction leveling, ensuring the production of high-quality slit coils.

In July 2022, Zhejiang Yongsheng Technology extended its collaboration with Goebel IMS, a provider of slitter rewinders. This partnership resulted in the addition of two primary slitter rewinders, MONOSLIT 9000 BOPET and MONOSLIT GIANT 11000 BOPET, for BOPET converting. Zhejiang Yongsheng Technology is a China-based industrial control valves creator and producer.
