Global Metal Heat Treatment Market Customer Landscape
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.
The integration of metal heat treatment processes into production lines is driving market growth. Rapid globalization and increasing investments in the automotive sector have led to intense competition in the automotive sector. As a result, several organizations are streamlining their processes to increase their operational efficiency. The rising demand for high-quality products due to globalization and population growth has encouraged companies to undertake automation in manufacturing. This growth mainly focuses on areas such as technology, hardware, software, services, and advanced machinery.
The development of cost-effective, high-quality products compelled automotive companies to adopt automation in factory operations. Many companies are integrating metal heat treatment processes into their production lines. Thus, the integration of heat treatment processes into production lines is expected to drive the growth of the global metal heat treatment market during the forecast period.
The increasing demand for CNC-incorporated machine tools is a key trend shaping the market. The design that provides the desired shape to the final product is the most important aspect of any product development process. Computer numerical control (CNC) machines adhere to design specifications and help in conveniently developing products in the desired form with maximum accuracy. Continuous R&D efforts are leading to advances in machine tools, especially CNC machines. CNC machines are highly productive, with the incorporation of modem technologies in functional units of end-user industries.
The growing demand for high-quality products has encouraged companies to adopt automation in their manufacturing operations. Therefore, businesses and investors globally are investing in process automation. Manually controlled machine tools, especially in SMEs, are being replaced by numerical control (NC) and CNC machines. The new machines use programmed commands and computers to ensure high productivity. NC and CNC machines reduce the time and human effort involved in manufacturing processes. In addition, the adoption of industrial automation across various end-user industries requires advanced metal heat treatment processes, which, in turn, will boost the growth of the global metal heat treatment market during the forecast period.
The growth of the global second-hand machine market is challenging market growth. Several manufacturing companies have moved to APAC owing to low-cost manufacturing and high use of second-hand machines from the US and Europe, especially in emerging economies such as China, India, and Pakistan. Many Asian contractors and mining companies purchase second-hand European construction machinery at low prices. This enables contractors and rental providers to control their capital investments. China is a major market for second-hand machines among European companies.
The growing second-hand machine market will negatively impact the demand for new industrial and construction equipment, which, in turn, can limit the adoption of metal heat treatment solutions. Many metal heat treatment equipment manufacturers are selling second-hand metal heat treatment equipment. Thus, the growing global second-hand machine market will adversely affect the global metal heat treatment market during the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.

The automotive segment was valued at USD 31.91 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Some of the vendors providing metal heat treatment for the automotive industry are Bodycote, Bluewater Thermal Solutions, Keith Co. Inc. (Keith), and East-Lind Heat Treat Inc. (East-Lind Heat Treat). Thus, the increasing establishment of new automotive production facilities across the world is expected to create a demand for metal heat treatment during the forecast period.
The steel segment will account for a significant share of market growth during the forecast period. The increasing demand for heat-treated steel parts in the construction industry, especially in the US, China, and India, is anticipated to increase the demand for steel heat treating during the forecast period. Steel is heated to achieve various mechanical qualities, such as strength, wear resistance, and surface hardness. The machining and formability of steel structures are enhanced by controlled heating and cooling. The advantages of heat treatment steel are expected to increase demand for steel heat treatment, which, in turn, will boost the growth of the global metal heat treatment market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 50% to the growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.
The demand for metal heat treatment from countries, such as China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Japan, South Korea, and India is increasing across the world. Rapid industrialization and significant production of automobiles and industrial machinery are increasing the demand for metal heat treatment processes. In APAC, the growth of end-user industries, competitive manufacturing costs, and high economic growth rates are supporting the growth of the market in end-user industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction. The oil and gas industry is growing, with an increase in the number of offshoring and nearshoring activities in countries such as China and India, which, in turn, will fuel the demand for metal heat treatment.
The outbreak of COVID-19 led to a strict lockdown in most developed and developing countries, which resulted in a decline in the process of using metal heat treatment by the automotive and construction industries globally. However, from Q3 2020, the ease of lockdowns in different countries and the focus on resuming the operations of businesses will lead to the gradual growth of industrial activities. This will, in turn, propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
