The isostatic pressing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing urbanization, the rising electricity demand, and the increasing healthcare expenditure and growth in the medical devices industry. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on strategic investments, capacity expansions, technological advancements, new advanced project developments, product innovations, installation of new machines, and strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The rapidly expanding aerospace and defense industry is significantly driving growth in the isostatic pressing market. This industry focuses on designing, manufacturing, and developing advanced space systems, aircraft, and defense capabilities. Isostatic pressing is utilized in aerospace for producing castings, jet engine components, and turbine blades, while in the defense sector, it is employed for manufacturing bulletproof materials and gun parts. The growth of the aerospace and defense sector is expected to boost the demand for isostatic pressing. For instance, in September 2024, the Aerospace Industries Association, a U.S. government agency, reported that the U.S. aerospace and defense sector achieved over $955 billion in sales in 2023, reflecting a 7.1% increase from the previous year. Thus, the growth of the aerospace and defense industry is set to further enhance the isostatic pressing market.

The rising global demand for electricity is expected to drive growth in the isostatic pressing market. Hot isostatic pressing is utilized in the power generation sector to densify turbine blades, discs, and other components, effectively eliminating porosity and enhancing performance. For example, in July 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, projected that global electricity demand would increase by approximately 4% in 2024, compared to a growth rate of 2.5% in 2023. Consequently, the rising demand for electricity will contribute to the growth of the isostatic pressing market.

Key companies in the isostatic pressing market are focusing on innovating new products and solutions to enhance their market presence. For instance, in April 2023, Quintus Technologies AB, a Swedish high-pressure manufacturing technology firm, introduced the Purus Toolbox for hot isostatic pressing. This toolbox is designed to facilitate the achievement of oxidation-free component surfaces after hot isostatic pressing (HIP), eliminating the need for labor-intensive, costly, or hazardous pre- and post-processing. According to Quintus Purus, many of these challenges can be avoided or significantly reduced by utilizing their developed toolbox, which includes advanced HIP equipment hardware, software capabilities, and custom oxygen-getter cassettes. This innovation enhances component design, reduces manufacturing costs, and lowers environmental impact. The Purus system allows for the production of the HIP process without requiring manual wrapping of components in metal foil or the removal of oxidized surfaces through post-processing machining or chemical etching. Consequently, this leads to a decrease in the reliance on hazardous chemicals, reduced manufacturing costs, and lower energy consumption.

Companies in the isostatic pressing market are concentrating on strategic investments in new systems and technologies to enhance their growth. For example, in January 2022, HT-MX Tratamientos Secundarios, a heat treatment company based in Mexico, entered the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) market by investing in a QIH 48 M URC press from Quintus Technologies AB, a high-pressure manufacturing technology company in Sweden. This investment marked HT-MX as the first company in Mexico to adopt a HIP system. The QIH 48 M URC press features a unique uniform rapid cooling capability that integrates heat treatment and HIP into a single process. With a hot zone diameter of 375 mm (4.8 inches) and a height of 1200 mm (47.2 inches), the press operates at temperatures of up to 1400 °C (2550 °F) and pressures reaching 2070 °bar (30,000 psi). The investment in the HIP system also included HT-MX’s gas storage, NADCAP technology, and a long-term Quintus Care program.

In January 2023, strategic partnerships and investments are shaping the landscape of the isostatic pressing market. Trive Capital, a US-based private equity firm, announced a partnership and investment in Kittyhawk, Inc. This collaboration aims to capitalize on growth opportunities in the aerospace supply chain, positioning Kittyhawk, Inc. as a differentiated service provider offering material processing and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) services for diverse applications, including space, defense, commercial aerospace, and medical sectors.

Isostatic pressing is a powder metallurgy (PM) procedure that uniformly presses a powder compact in all directions, providing maximum uniformity of density and microstructure without the geometric constraints of uniaxial pressing.

The main types in isostatic pressing include Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP). Hot isostatic pressing involves compressing materials under high temperatures and pressure, enhancing the mechanical properties of castings by eliminating internal microporosity. Isostatic pressing is offered in the form of systems and services, encompassing process types such as wet bag pressing and dry bag pressing. The capacities range from small-sized to medium-sized and large-sized. These processes find applications in various end-user industries such as manufacturing, automotive, electronics and semiconductor, medical, aerospace and defense, energy and power, research and development, and others.
