Global Isostatic Pressing Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing Emphasis on the Combination of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) With Other Heat Treatment Processes
The HIP and heat treatment processes in a conventional practice are carried out at different facilities, where the parts have to be loaded and unloaded into process vessels twice and shipped from one facility to another, which consumes time. Thus, combining HIP and other heat treatment processes in a single and integrated unit can help reduce energy consumption and meet the components' delivery time. The constant improvements in HIP equipment from the 1970s have led to advanced processing options, such as rapid cooling capability and automatic processing. For instance, processes such as HIP, additive manufacturing, and spark plasma sintering can be used as a single unit to create high-integrity, near-net-shaped parts from metal powder while reducing processing costs and energy consumption.
Some of such combined techniques are used in the aerospace industry. However, their implementation has yet to be commercialized for civil nuclear applications. The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) (UK) is planning to invest in industry-led projects to assess the potential of these processes in the civil nuclear sector. The organization has designed a strategy to commercialize such promising techniques for production processes.
Restraint:Requirement of high initial investments
The market for isostatic pressing necessitates a significant initial investment due to the need for advanced machinery, specialized technologies, and high-pressure vessels. Establishing an isostatic pressing facility involves substantial costs associated with acquiring equipment, implementing safety measures, and ensuring proper training and maintenance. This initial investment acts as a barrier to entry for new entrants and contributes to a competitive landscape dominated by established companies. However, despite the high initial costs, the potential for long-term benefits, such as market growth and the ability to meet the increasing demand for high-quality components, justifies the investment in isostatic pressing.
Opportunity: Growing demand for low-cost titanium and its alloys in the automotive industry.
Titanium and its alloys are light in weight, corrosive resistant, and feature high strength, which makes them ideal for use in various automobile applications. The increasing focus on the light weighing of automobiles has encouraged manufacturers and designers to use titanium tubes and titanium-welded tubes. However, the cost of titanium is the main drawback associated with using this metal. Therefore, the manufacturers are looking forward to developing new innovative ways to produce low-cost titanium for different automobile applications. Hence, the HIP processes decrease the manufacturing cost of titanium alloys and other PM superalloys by ensuring lower manufacturing time and cost than conventional processes. This cost-related benefit is expected to fuel adopting HIP systems in titanium alloy manufacturing for the automotive industry and soon create lucrative opportunities for market players.
Challenge: Limited size and shape capabilities of Isostatic Pressing
Isostatic pressing is typically best suited for small to medium-sized parts. More significant parts can be difficult to manufacture using this process because it requires large equipment, which can be expensive to purchase and maintain. Isostatic pressing is best suited for parts with simple geometries. More complex shapes can be difficult to manufacture using this process. This is because the powder must be evenly distributed in the mold, which can be challenging to achieve with complex shapes. The tooling cost required for isostatic pressing can be significant, particularly for parts with complex shapes. This can make the process less cost-effective for parts with irregular shapes. The thickness of the part can also be a limiting factor for isostatic pressing. Parts that are too thick can be difficult to manufacture using this process because the powder may not be able to be evenly distributed in the mold.

Market Definition
Isostatic pressing is a powder metallurgy-based process in which equal pressure is applied on powdered materials, such as metals, alloys, or ceramics, in all directions to achieve maximum uniformity of density and microstructure without the geometric limitations of uniaxial pressing. Isostatic pressing is categorized into two types: hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and cold isostatic pressing (CIP). The HIP system processes materials using the synergistic effects of temperature and pressure. The HIP is part of the powder metrology process for pressure-assisted brazing and fabrication of metal composites. Manufacturing companies are extensively installing HIP systems to enhance their working efficiency. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) is a powder-forming technology with uniform pressure to compress powdered materials into various shapes, mainly at room temperature. The CIP system is widely used in ceramic and powder metallurgy as an effective forming method. In the CIP system, a mold is placed into a chamber filled with a working fluid, usually water, with a corrosion inhibitor that is pressurized using an external pump.
The isostatic pressing market is consolidated, with a few players holding a major market share. The companies in the isostatic pressing ecosystem are highly focused on strengthening their positions and increasing their market shares. Kobe Steel, Ltd. (Japan), Bodycote (UK), Kennametal, Inc.
