North America and Europe Uniaxial Diffusion Bonding Furnace Market Size and Analysis by 2028

The uniaxial diffusion bonding furnace market is projected to grow from US$ 140.46 million in 2022 to US$ 230.74 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2022 to 2028.

Diffusion bonding refers to the bonding process of dissimilar materials. It is the only technique that can join surfaces without filling material like soldering foil. A few common materials that be joined with the help of diffusion bonding process comprise titanium, titanium alloys, steel, nickel-based alloys, and copper. In uniaxial diffusion bonding process, the component is heated on a furnace under high vacuum pressure coupled with an external joining force through a press plunger. The semiconductor, aerospace, medical, power engineering, automotive & electromobility, and plastic injection modelling are among the major application industries of diffusion bonding. The medical device manufacturing industry experienced a significant growth over the years due to the rising prevalence of chronic devices. According to the data published by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2022, 2.9 million individuals in Canada were suffering from diabetes. According to the same source, the country is expected to showcase an increase in diabetes patients, reaching the number to 3.2 million and 3.4 million by 2030 and 2045, respectively. Thus, the increasing manufacturing of medical products is expected to propel the uniaxial diffusion bonding furnace market growth in the coming years.

The uniaxial diffusion bonding furnace market in North America is segmented into Canada, the US, and Mexico. The US is one of the world-leading manufacturing economies accounting for about US$2.3 trillion in GDP. In September 2021, manufacturers of various sectors in the US were increasingly engaging themselves in opening various manufacturing plants. For instance, Lam Research announced the establishment of a new 45,000 square-feet semiconductor equipment manufacturing plant in Oregon. Superior Boiler announced the establishment of their third manufacturing facility of 75,000 square-feet in Hutchinson, Kansas. Meanwhile, SAF announced the establishment of a new metal fabrication manufacturing plant of 60,000 square-feet in Temple, Texas. Furthermore, in February 2022, Nucor Corporation announced the largest investment of US$2.7 billion in a new sheet steel mill plant in West Virginia. This new plant will have the capacity to produce up to 3 million tons of sheet steel per year for heavy equipment, agriculture, automobiles, appliances, HVAC, transportation, and construction. Such huge establishment of manufacturing plants of various sectors generated demand for metals and metal processing, propelling the uniaxial diffusion bonding furnace market growth in the US.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Uniaxial Diffusion Bonding Furnace Market

The US and other North American countries were severely impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The manufacturing sectors across the region were operating at a low capacity to combat the virus's infection spread, resulting in low production volume in the first two quarters of 2020. The decrease in production volume across aerospace, automotive, and tools & die industries owing to the lack of labour shortage and supply chain disruption negatively impacted dropped the demand for uniaxial diffusion bonding furnaces. The region is a home to several uniaxial diffusion bonding furnace market players. These companies witnessed a decrease in production volume in 2020 owing to supply chain disruptions, which lead to a delayed the supply of raw materials and other components. However, the normalization of the economy and reopening of trade borders aided the market in reviving since Q3 of 2020.
