Isostatic Pressing Market Outlook - 2027
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.
Isostatic pressing is a system 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. The isostatic pressing process can be done at high temperatures 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 to cold isostatic pressing but is conducted at high temperatures. In addition, uniform density distribution acts as a key driver for the growth of isostatic pressing systems globally. Moreover, the isostatic pressing technique enables the removal of human error, which reduces any pressing flaws.
Isostatic pressing is popular for use in automotive, healthcare, and aerospace & defense industries, owing to the demand for low-penetrability material in 3D printed parts. Moreover, isostatic pressing can 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. A 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 a rapid rise in demand for products with short production cycles in the healthcare sector. Moreover, the rise in demand for additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology in the automotive sector, owing to the surge in demand for low-cost spare parts manufacturing techniques drives growth of the global isostatic pressing market growth. However, hot isostatic pressing comprises five major components such as pressure vessels and electrical systems, which require 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 act as a major challenge for small isostatic pressing manufacturers in developing countries. An increase in the use of additive manufacturing technology in the defense sector is expected to provide significant opportunities for isostatic pressing technology.

By HIP capacity, it is divided into small-sized HIP, medium-sized HIP, and large-sized HIP. The global isostatic pressing market share of the 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 the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
By Application
Automotive segment is expected to secure leading position during 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.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 7.7% during 2020-2027
Top Impacting Factors
Significant factors that impact the growth of the global isostatic pressing industry include a surge in demand for hip coupled with other heat treatment processes, a rise in demand for products with short development cycles, and a rise in demand for additive manufacturing techniques. However, high initial investments in hot isostatic pressing and isostatic pressing machinery require a professional workforce to operate, which hampers the growth of the market. On the contrary, the surge in demand for low-cost titanium alloys in the automotive sector, and growth in the need for low-cost medical applications in the healthcare industry are anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the isostatic pressing market during the forecast period.
