Metal Forging Market Growth & Trends

The global metal forging market size is expected to reach USD 145.44 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. Rising awareness about climate change and increasing investment in renewables, especially in wind and hydro, by governments is expected to boost the consumption of forged components. Thus, this investment is expected to propel the product demand during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2021, the U.S government unveiled plans to build up to 7 major offshore wind farms. The government is targeting to produce 30 gigawatts of wind power by 2030.

This surge was attributed to consumer activity and capital expenditure spending that augmented the U.S. economy to its strongest growth since 1984. The country touched a 37-year high of 5.7% in 2021. The recovery indicates a resumption of industrial activities, which, in turn, is anticipated to augment the demand for metal forgings in the country over the coming years. The growth of the market is being driven by the rising investments in energy, infrastructure, aerospace, and transportation, among others. In 2021, U.S. Senate passed a massive infrastructure bill worth USD 1 trillion. As per this bill, the government is heavily investing in roads, bridges, Electric Vehicle (EV) networks, public transit, high-speed internet, and clean drinking water.

Similarly, in April 2022, the government of the country announced that it is planning to develop a 40 GW offshore wind project by 2050 that is expected to spread over 50 wind farms.Metal forging is the process, in which metals are shaped and formed using compressive force. These forces are applied using pressing, hammering, and rolling. Increasing demand for the product in various industries, such as power, construction, agriculture, marine, and aerospace, is anticipated to augment the market growth.Based on raw material, carbon steel accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021 and it is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period.

The growth is attributed to the properties of the material as the product often has a tight grain structure, which makes it mechanically strong to withstand friction. Also, carbon steel is cheaper than its counterparts.Construction is anticipated to expand at a steady CAGR, in terms of revenue, during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to increasing government investment in the construction sector to untangle the negative impact created by the COVID-19 pandemic.In November 2021, the Italian government came up with a new recovery and resilience plan to foster economic growth by 1.5 to 2.5% by 2026. The government is expected to invest in the construction of public buildings, renewable energy, and waste & water management.

In 2021, Asia Pacific was the largest regional market, in terms of revenue as well as volume. China and India were the largest consumers of metal forgings in 2021 in the APAC region. The rising demand for forged products from various application industries, such as construction, automotive, and energy, has pushed product consumption in the region.The global metal market is highly competitive. The rising demand for forged products has forced key manufacturers to opt for merger & acquisition strategies. For instance, in June 2021, Bharat Forge, a leading forging company in India announced that they have acquired Sanghvi Forging & Engineering Ltd.

Condom Market Growth & Trends

The global condom market size is anticipated to reach USD 20.73 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.72% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to grow due to increasing awareness about the use of condoms for reducing the spread of HIV and other STIs, along with the availability of a variety of condom types to meet consumer preferences.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2023, approximately 374 million new cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis were reported annually. In the same year, WHO reported that 39.0 million people were living with HIV globally, with two-thirds of them residing in the African countries. This can lead to serious complications beyond the immediate effect of the infection itself. If left untreated, STDs can lead to complications such as impotence and infertility. According to a study published on Factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes of maternal syphilis in Henan, China, 2016-2022, in 2016, around 1 million pregnant women were detected with active syphilis, which resulted in 200,000 stillbirths and 350,000 adverse birth outcomes. This is expected to boost demand for the use of condoms during the forecast period.

The market for condoms is expected to witness new opportunities arising from the integration of technological advancements, including the introduction of smart condoms, as well as the development of eco-friendly and sustainable condom options. These innovations could lead to a shift in consumer preferences and behaviors, resulting in future growth of the market. The i.Con Smart Condom, manufactured by British Condoms, marketed as the “world's first smart condom,” is in reality a ring that fits over a traditional condom and tracks various metrics related to sexual activity. This device measures parameters like thrust speed, calories burned, duration of the session, & span and even compares performance through an app.

Online platforms, such as Besharam, Amazon, JUMIA GROUP, Condom King, Clicks, shycart, Chemistdirect.co.uk, and Kasha Kenya, offer a wide range of condom brands and variations. The availability of condoms on e-commerce websites is helping customers avoid the need for face-to-face interaction when purchasing condoms, which is helping to overcome social prejudices and stigma surrounding their use. This is expected to further boost the demand for condoms through online channels.
