North America Forging Market: Key Drivers, Trends and Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
North America Key Forging Market Driver
Rising renewable energy applications are notably driving the market growth. The increasing demand for renewable energy applications, such as wind turbines and hydroelectric installations, has had a significant influence on the metal forging market in the region. Renewable energy projects need specialized components that can withstand the rigors of these environments, and forging plays a critical part in constructing durable and reliable parts for these applications. Further, components used in renewable energy applications, particularly wind turbines, are required to withstand high mechanical stresses and loads. Forging delivers a manufacturing method that can produce parts with the essential stability and durability.
In addition, forging allows for the use of high-performance materials, such as specialized alloys and steels, that are important for assuring the performance and longevity of components in renewable energy applications. Therefore, the growing renewable energy applications and their benefits will fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
North America Key Forging Market Trends
The application of robotics to enhance forging operations is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Forging manufacturing techniques are commonly used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical. Automation in forging acts as a differentiator and increases production volume. It enables quick changeover between batches, resulting in better manufacturing tolerances and product quality. The robots in use are equipped with sensors that ensure they don't crash into other moving parts in the production process. Collision resistance not only enhances throughput but also reduces damage to machines and tools. ABB, a global automation provider, has incorporated collision resistance into its robots to improve the throughput of forging manufacturers.
Furthermore, another innovation in robotic technology is software that allows robots to pick and place parts in any direction. This flexibility allows robots to handle a variety of tasks, which in turn enhances the flexibility of the production lines and improves forging operations. This is expected to contribute to the growth of the forging market in the US during the forecast period
North America Major Forging Market Challenge
The lack of a skilled workforce is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The rising demand for commodities has been supporting the revival of many industrial manufacturing units. Numerous conventional factory floor machines are being replaced with computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Such machines guarantee that requirements such as higher efficiency, better quality products, and customer satisfaction are met duly within the prescribed time. There is a shortage of skilled machinists in the workforce although factory floors are upgrading rapidly. An enormous gap exists between the demand and the availability of people who have these skills.
However, unlike Asian countries that possess a rich pool of skilled people ready to work at lower costs, North America faces a challenge in terms of a lack of skilled workers. Moreover, the existing workforce demands higher pay grades, making it even more difficult for enterprises operating in the region, which will adversely influence the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

The automotive segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 4,902.29 million in 2017. Forged components offer a favourable strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for replacing heavier cast or welded parts. Forged components offer greater resistance to wear, corrosion, and extreme temperatures, which is beneficial for vehicle functioning and longevity. Moreover, forging can deliver more efficient supply chains since many components can be produced in-house or by local suppliers, lowering lead times and transportation costs. Forging enables complex geometries and tailored properties, allowing manufacturers to create components that precisely meet the necessities of specific automotive applications which may have a positive impact on the growth of metal forging market. Therefore, such factors will contribute to the growth of the automotive segment, which will drive the market to focus during the forecast period.
