航太鍛造材料市場機會、成長動力、產業趨勢分析及2025-2034年預測

2024年，全球航太鍛造材料市場價值為1,28億美元，預計2034年將以5.8%的複合年成長率成長，達到222億美元。這一成長主要得益於行業對材料性能和耐用性的日益關注。航太零件在高壓、高溫和巨大機械應力等極端條件下運行，需要具有卓越抗疲勞性、機械強度和使用壽命的材料。因此，鍛造材料因其在關鍵航太功能中的可靠性和結構完整性而廣泛應用。與鑄造或機械加工零件不同，鍛造零件不易出現缺陷，並具有增強的冶金性能，使其成為航太領域高風險應用的理想選擇。

隨著航空業傾向於更輕、更有效率的飛機以提高燃油經濟性並減少碳排放，對飛機的需求也不斷成長。減輕飛機重量直接有助於降低油耗，並符合全球永續發展目標。這種轉變增加了先進金屬合金在航太鍛造中的應用，尤其是那些以高強度重量比著稱的合金。鈦和鋁等金屬因其能夠在不影響強度或性能的情況下提供輕量化解決方案而成為首選。這些趨勢凸顯了航空製造業向材料創新和效率的廣泛轉變。

2024年，航太鍛造材料市場依材質細分為鋁合金、鈦合金、鋼合金、鎂合金、鎳基合金等。鈦合金憑藉其優異的強度、耐腐蝕性和輕量化特性，佔據最大佔有率，市佔率達33.2%。鈦合金能夠耐受極端環境，尤其適用於航太結構和引擎系統。鋁合金因其成本效益高、易於成型而廣受青睞，尤其是在機身結構領域。儘管鋼合金較重，但在強度和抗疲勞性至關重要的高負荷領域，它仍然不可或缺。

根據鍛造技術，2024 年的市場分為閉式模鍛、輥鍛造、開式模鍛、精密鍛造等。閉式模鍛憑藉其精度高、尺寸穩定性高、生產複雜航太零件的效率高，佔據 45.4% 的市場佔有率，在該領域處於領先地位。這種方法因其能夠生產具有一致重複性的高強度零件而備受推崇。開式模鍛隨後成為一個重要的細分市場，尤其適用於生產對機械完整性要求高的大型重型零件。輥鍛具有可控的晶粒流動，通常用於製造長而扁平的零件。精密鍛造因其能夠減少原料浪費和最大程度降低加工要求而繼續受到製造商的青睞。

就應用而言，2024 年市場細分為引擎部件、機身部件、變速箱和旋翼部件、起落架部件、控制面及其他部件。機身部件佔最大佔有率，為 32.5%，這得益於機身框架、翼樑和隔板等結構部件中鍛造材料的廣泛使用。鑑於對耐高應力、耐高溫零件的需求，引擎零件也佔據了相當大的佔有率。鍛造零件對於確保惡劣工作條件下的耐用性和性能至關重要。起落架部件必須承受反覆的衝擊和應力，通常依靠鋼和鈦鍛件來確保長期可靠性。

美國在全球航太鍛造材料市場佔有顯著佔有率，2024年佔17.8%，價值23億美元，預計到2034年將增加至41億美元。美國航太業在國家經濟中發揮至關重要的作用，涵蓋商用航空和飛機製造。該產業擁有超過60萬名專業勞動力，對國家GDP貢獻巨大，支持持續創新和全球競爭力。

The Global Aerospace Forging Materials Market was valued at USD 12.8 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% to reach USD 22.2 billion by 2034. This growth is primarily influenced by the industry's increasing focus on material performance and durability. Aerospace components operate under extreme conditions such as high pressure, intense heat, and significant mechanical stress, demanding materials that exhibit exceptional fatigue resistance, mechanical strength, and longevity. As a result, forged materials are gaining widespread adoption due to their reliability and structural integrity in critical aerospace functions. Unlike cast or machined parts, forged components are less prone to defects and deliver enhanced metallurgical properties, making them ideal for high-risk applications across the aerospace sector.

Demand is also rising as the industry leans toward lighter, more efficient aircraft to improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions. Reducing aircraft weight directly contributes to lower fuel consumption and aligns with global sustainability objectives. This shift has increased the adoption of advanced metal alloys in aerospace forging, particularly those known for their high strength-to-weight ratios. Metals like titanium and aluminum are becoming the go-to options, thanks to their ability to deliver lightweight solutions without compromising strength or performance. These trends highlight the broader shift toward material innovation and efficiency in aviation manufacturing.

In 2024, the aerospace forging materials market was segmented by material into aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, steel alloys, magnesium alloys, nickel-based alloys, and others. Titanium alloys held the largest share, accounting for 33.2% of the market, owing to their excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight characteristics. Their ability to endure extreme environments makes them especially suitable for aerospace structures and engine systems. Aluminum alloys are widely favored for their cost-efficiency and ease of formability, especially in airframe structures. Although heavier, steel alloys remain essential in high-load areas where strength and fatigue resistance are critical.

Based on forging techniques, the market in 2024 was classified into closed die forging, roll forging, open die forging, precision forging, and others. Closed die forging led the segment with a 45.4% market share due to its precision, dimensional stability, and efficiency in producing complex aerospace components. This method is especially valued for its ability to produce high-strength parts with consistent repeatability. Open die forging followed as a significant segment, especially for producing large, heavy-duty components that require high mechanical integrity. Roll forging, with its controlled grain flow, is typically used for manufacturing long, flat parts. Precision forging continues to gain traction among manufacturers for its ability to reduce raw material waste and minimize machining requirements.

In terms of applications, the market was segmented in 2024 into engine components, airframe components, transmission and rotor components, landing gear components, control surfaces, and others. Airframe components accounted for the largest share at 32.5%, driven by the widespread use of forged materials in structural parts such as fuselage frames, spars, and bulkheads. Engine components also represent a significant portion, given the demand for high-stress, high-temperature-resistant parts. Forged components are vital in ensuring durability and performance under harsh operating conditions. Landing gear components, which must endure repetitive impact and stress, typically rely on steel and titanium forging to ensure long-term reliability.

The United States captured a notable share of the global aerospace forging materials market, holding 17.8% in 2024. This equated to USD 2.3 billion and is projected to rise to USD 4.1 billion by 2034. The U.S. aerospace sector plays a vital role in the country's economy, encompassing commercial aviation and aircraft manufacturing. With a workforce of over 600,000 professionals and substantial contributions to the national GDP, the industry supports continuous innovation and global competitiveness.

Leading companies shaping the competitive landscape include Arconic Corporation, Precision Castparts Corp., Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI), Bharat Forge Limited, KOBE STEEL, LTD., VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation, and Nippon Steel Corporation.
