The global aircraft engine forging market size was valued at $2.6 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2023 to 2032.
Aircraft engine forging refers to the manufacturing process of shaping metal materials, typically high-strength alloys such as titanium, aluminum, and steel, into complex and precision-engineered components used in aircraft engines. This process involves subjecting metal billets or ingots to high temperatures and pressure within a die to achieve the desired shape and properties of the final component. By utilizing techniques such as closed die forging, the metal is compressed and shaped to exact specifications, ensuring high strength, durability, and resistance to the extreme conditions encountered in aircraft engines, such as high temperatures, pressure, and mechanical stress.
Closed die forging, also referred to as impression die forging, is a metal forming technique utilized to shape metal materials into intricate and precise components. In this process, two or more dies, or molds, encase the workpiece, typically a metal billet or ingot. These dies are engineered to endure high temperatures and pressures. Closed die forging facilitates the production of components with stringent tolerances and complex geometries, ensuring a precise fit and optimal functionality within aircraft engines. Through controlled deformation and grain flow, closed die forging enhances mechanical properties such as strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance, surpassing those of cast or machined components.
This method also promotes efficient material usage, minimizing waste and maximizing material utilization, particularly advantageous for costly materials such as titanium and nickel alloys. Despite potentially high initial tooling costs, closed die forging yields long-term cost savings due to its heightened productivity, reduced material waste, and improved material properties, rendering it financially viable for crafting high-performance aerospace components. As the aerospace sector continues to emphasize lightweighting, performance, and efficiency in aircraft engines, closed die forging is anticipated to assume a pivotal role in the market.
Moreover, rise in global population, urbanization, and disposable incomes have increased the demand for air travel, especially in emerging markets. To accommodate this demand, commercial airlines are expanding their fleets, creating a need for new aircraft engines and forged engine components. In addition, airlines are replacing older, less fuel-efficient aircraft with newer models featuring advanced engines, driven by the necessity to cut operating costs and adhere to environmental regulations. This trend of fleet modernization further boosts the demand for forged engine components that are optimized for enhanced performance and efficiency. Furthermore, the emergence of low-cost carriers has democratized air travel, making it more accessible to a wider audience. These carriers primarily operate single-aisle aircraft that rely on forged engine components. As low-cost carriers expand their fleets to cater to increasing demand, they play a significant role in driving the growth of the commercial aircraft engine forging market.
The aircraft engine forging market is segmented on the basis of type, material, aircraft type, and region. On the basis of type, the market is bifurcated into closed die forging and open die forging. On the basis of material, it is categorized into aluminum, titanium, nickel-based superalloys, steel alloys, and others. On the basis of aircraft type, the market is classified into commercial and military. On the basis of region, the market is analyzed in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA.
Some major companies operating in the market include Precision Castparts Corp., Canton Drop Forge, ATI Inc., Mettis Group, Alcoa, SIFCO Industries, Consolidated Industries, Inc., voestalpine BÖHLER Aerospace GmbH & Co KG, Forgital Group, and Safran.
