Different industries have vastly diverse manufacturing needs based on the types of products they sell. For example, the electronics industry may primarily need die casting and sheet metal stamping, while industrial equipment manufacturing requires die casting, investment casting, and metal forging.
The market for manufacturing services continues to grow. In fact, according to Fortune Business Insights, the global metal forging market was valued at $81.13 billion USD in 2023 and is expected to grow to $87.06 billion USD by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.6 percent. Fortune’s analysts also predict that the U.S. metal forging market, valued at $7.75 billion USD in 2022, will grow 6.1 percent by 2030.
The question, however, is, which process is the most efficient, effective, and cost-acceptable for the products you’re producing?
