The global heat treating market size reached US$ 104.6 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 143.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% during 2024-2032.

Heat treating refers to the process of heating and cooling both ferrous as well as non-ferrous metals at various staged levels. It assists in obtaining the desired set of physical and mechanical properties. At present, several methods to improve the outcomes and cost-efficiency of heat treating have been developed, which are utilized depending on the metal type. For instance, superalloys employed in the aircraft industry undergo various heat-treating processes to optimize metal properties, including magnetism, hardness, toughness, ductility, brittleness, and electrical and corrosion resistance.

Heat Treating Market Trends:

The rising volume of air traffic on account of the expanding international trade, the increasing business travel, and the thriving tourism sector represents one of the key factors stimulating the market growth. Moreover, the boosting sales of vehicles worldwide are propelling the demand for heat treating to enhance the effective utilization of different components in the automotive industries while satisfying customer needs and environmental norms. Apart from this, as it assists in improving the machinability and surface properties and increasing strength, hardness, and wear resistance of metals, the heat-treating process is used to increase the thermomechanical behavior of Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) based alloys. These alloys find extensive applications in the biomedical sector to produce coils and treat cerebral aneurysms, which are localized dilations of the intracranial arteries. Furthermore, the leading market players are introducing a reliable, low-cost smart system for automating the heat-treating process. It includes a control unit, algorithm, sensor, and drive circuit that helps reduce time and human intervention and error. This is anticipated to impact the application of heat treating in the construction and oil and gas industries around the world.
