Cold Forming and Cold Heading Market Developments and Forecast by 2028

The cold forming and cold heading market are expected to grow from US$ 19,510.15 million in 2022 to US$ 27,332.39 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2022 to 2028.

The process of forging  metals at room temperature is referred to as cold forming. Metal wires are cut into small segments to form multiple die progression in a cold heading machine. Every step of the process imparts specific geometrical features to the design of the product being manufactured, such as automotive, industrial equipment, and medical equipment, that offers manufacturability and a long-term production life cycle. The cold forming process has zero processing scrap, which is one of the major reasons it is preferred over traditional metal machining.

Cold forming and cold heading solutions are applied for commercial and military aircraft production. It helps in building the structure of aircraft bodies. The rising air passenger traffic across the globe is increasing the demand for aircraft fleets operated by major airlines across developed and developing countries. The rise in demand for military aircraft from the defense industry has also boosted aircraft manufacturing. For instance, in July 2022, Voyager Aviation Holdings, LLC (VAH) announced a purchase agreement of US$ 300 million to work with a blue-chip aircraft leasing firm for 7 new and in-production aircraft. Similarly, in November 2021, Indigo partner portfolios announced the procurement of 255 additional A321neo aircraft. Additionally, in September 2021, the Indian government announced the procurement of 56 Airbus C-295 military aircraft worth US$ 2.5 billion. Thus, the above-mentioned contracts would increase aircraft manufacturing activities, thereby propelling the demand for cold forming and cold heading solutions.

– Cold Forming and Cold Heading Market

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Cold Forming and Cold Heading Market

North America is significantly influenced by the strong presence of the US, owing to its considerable penetration of passenger vehicles per capita and large presence of automobile manufacturing capabilities in the region. Though the US witnessed a notable surge in the number of COVID-19 cases, the lack of stringent government measures and restrictions minimally impacted the overall automotive industry; hence, the cold forming and cold heading market  share witnessed a moderate impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the ongoing US and China trade war influenced the availability of materials and components for various automotive OEMs, which affected the market following the pandemic. Further, Mexico and Canada witnessed a decline in the demand for automotive sales and a notable decline in their overall market growth for various automotive components, including cold forming and cold heading and its related components.
