Global Vacuum Furnaces Market

Global Vacuum Furnaces Market Research, 2031

The global global vacuum furnaces market size was valued at $934.1 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1.3 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2022 to 2031. Vacuum furnace is a special type of furnace that surrounds the workpiece in the furnace with a vacuum. This allows the workpiece to be heat-treated in absence of oxygen and other air components, thereby enabling the temperature to rise above 3,000 degrees Celsius without damaging the workpiece.

The vacuum furnaces market was hampered during the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, owing to restrictions on manufacturing activities. In addition, vacuum furnaces could not be effectively installed through OEMs during the lockdown period.

Industries that use metal in their processes are witnessing rapid growth all across the globe. This is attributed to rise in population, increase in disposable income of the people, and surge in global trade. The automotive industry is expected to reach pre-COVID-19 levels in the near future after negative impact of COVID-19. The extensive use of vacuum furnaces in automotive industry is anticipated to drive the demand for vacuum furnace. Furthermore, globalization is playing a major role in the growth of air travel across the world. This is leading to increased demand in aerospace sector, which eventually propels the vacuum furnaces market. Furthermore, the construction of residential and non-residential buildings is rising across the globe. This is fueled by rise in global population, surge in disposable income, and rapid rise in urbanization, especially in the developing nations such as Brazil, Argentina, India, and China. Building construction sector significantly uses products made of ceramics, such as tiles, decorative laminates, and WC seats. Manufacturers of these building products use vacuum furnaces in the manufacturing process. In addition to this, rise in elderly population, and rise in the number of diseases are fueling the demand for medical equipment. Manufacturing process of medical equipment requires them to be heat-treated. This positively influences the vacuum furnaces market growth.

Major players in the industry have focused on expanding their businesses to sustain harsh competition in the vacuum furnaces market. For instance, in September 2021, Centorr Vacuum Industries built six high-temperature and high-vacuum furnaces in its Workhorse product line, which will be used for precision heat treating, brazing, and annealing applications. Furthermore, in April 2020, Solar Manufacturing partnered with MetalPro Resources to expand its sales network in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky in the U.S. MetalPro has offices in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Cleveland, and it is known for offering many heat-treating services to its customers.

The novel coronavirus had rapidly spread across various countries and regions, causing an enormous impact on the lives of people and the overall community. It began as a human health condition and later became a significant threat to global trade, economy, and finance. The COVID-19 pandemic halted the production of many components of intelligent parcel lockers due to lockdown. The economic slowdown initially resulted in reduced spending on various vacuum furnaces by different end-user industries. However, owing to the introduction of various vaccines, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly decreased. As of mid-2022, the number of COVID-19 cases had significantly declined. This has led to the full-fledged reopening of vacuum furnace manufacturing facilities at their full-scale capacities. Furthermore, it has been more than two years since the outbreak of this pandemic, and many companies in the vacuum furnaces industry have already shown notable signs of recovery.

Furthermore, vacuum furnaces are widely used in R&D across industries, as they can maintain a controlled environment around the workpiece. Thus, rise in R&D activities is expected to fuel the market growth. Moreover, manufacturers are improving their products to make them more reliable and efficient. This is estimated to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the vacuum furnaces market during the forecast period.

The vacuum furnaces market is segmented on the basis of type, operation, end-user industries, and region. By component, the market is bifurcated into horizontal and vertical. On the basis of operation, it is segmented into external heat treatment, and internal heat treatment. On the basis of end-user industry, the market is categorized into industrial, and research. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific held the largest vacuum furnaces market share in 2021, accounting for the highest share in revenue, and LAMEA is anticipated to grow with highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to increase in spending of on residential and non-residential building projects, and also increased investments in industrial sector.
