Isostatic Pressing Market

The global isostatic pressing market size was valued at $5.81 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $7.97 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 6.0% from 2020 to 2027.  

The precision machine manufacturing segment impacted adversely with the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic.

Isostatic pressing are systems designed to use fluid (such as water or oil) or a gas (generally argon (Ar)) pressure to modify materials by uniformly pressuring them in all directions to achieve maximum uniformity of density. Isostatic pressing process can be done at high temperature as well as room temperature (cold). 

Cold isostatic pressing is used to produce very large and complex spare parts where the initial cost is unjustified. Hot isostatic pressing is similar as cold isostatic pressing but is conducted at high temperatures. In addition, uniform density distribution acts as a key driver for growth of isostatic pressing systems globally. Moreover, isostatic pressing technique enables removal of human error, which reduces any pressing flaws. 

Isostatic pressing is popular for use in automotive, healthcare, and aerospace & defense industries, owing to demand for low-penetrability material in 3D printed parts. Moreover, isostatic pressing has the capacity to increase the density of metals and lower tooling costs. Furthermore, isostatic pressing offers a large range of ceramic products such as balls, tubes, fuse tubes, lighting tubes, and spark plug insulators. Rise in demand for products with a short development cycle is expected to propel the isostatic pressing market growth in the coming years. 

The isostatic pressing industry is expected to witness growth during the forecast period, owing to rapid rise in demand for products with short production cycle in the healthcare sector. Moreover, rise in demand for additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology in the automotive sector, owing to surge in demand for low-cost spare parts manufacturing technique drives growth of the global isostatic pressing market growth. However, hot isostatic pressing comprises five major components such as pressure vessel and electrical system, which requires high initial investments. This, in turn, hampers demand for isostatic pressing in developing countries.  

Risks regarding competition with global players in the isostatic pressing market acts as a major challenge for small isostatic pressing manufacturers in developing countries. Increase in use of additive manufacturing technology in the defense sector is expected to provide significant opportunities for isostatic pressing technology. 

The COVID-10 outbreak has declined growth rate in production and manufacturing sectors in 2020, and the market is estimated to witness relatively slow growth till the end of 2021. Moreover, the COVID-19 has caused a significant and protracted drop in traveling bans and facilities, keeping workforce out of their factories; thus, influencing the isostatic pressing market share. Furthermore, markets such as automotive, healthcare, and aerospace were primarily hit by several obstacles created amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, industries such as healthcare and energy & power have witnessed considerable growth during the COVID-19 outbreak, which is expected to propel demand for the isostatic pressing market in the coming year.  

The isostatic pressing market share is analyzed by offering, type, HIP capacity, CIP process type, application, and region. On the basis of offering, it is fragmented into services and systems. The systems segment dominated the market, in terms of revenue in 2019, and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period. On the basis of type, it is segregated into hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and cold isostatic pressing (CIP). The hot isostatic pressing (HIP) segment dominated the market, in terms of revenue in 2019, however, the cold isostatic pressing (CIP) segment is projected to witness significant market share during the forecast period. By HIP capacity, it is divided into small-sized HIP, medium-sized HIP, and large-sized HIP. The global isostatic pressing market share of large-sized HIP segment accounted highest in 2019, and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period. By CIP process type, it is bifurcated into dry-bag pressing and wet-bag pressing. The dry pressing bag segment accounted for a major share in the global isostatic pressing market in 2019, however, the wet-bag pressing segment is expected to witness highest CAGR during the forecast period. 

By application, the market is segregated into automotive, aerospace & defense, medical, precision machine manufacturing, energy & power, and others. The aerospace & defense segment accounted for the major share in the global isostatic pressing market in 2019, however, the automotive segment is expected to witness highest CAGR during the forecast period.  By region, the isostatic press market trends are analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. North America dominated the market, in terms of revenue in 2019, and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period.

Top Impacting Factors

Significant factors that impact growth of the global isostatic pressing industry include surge in demand for hip coupled with other heat treatment processes, rise in demand for products with short development cycle, and rise in demand for additive manufacturing techniques. However, high initial investments in hot isostatic pressing, and isostatic pressing machinery requires a professional workforce to operate, which hampers growth of the market. On the contrary, surge in demand for low-cost titanium alloys in automotive sector, and growth in need for low cost medical applications in healthcare industry is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the isostatic pressing market during the forecast period.
