The induction furnace market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of the induction furnace has witnessed robust growth in previous years. Its expansion is projected to continue, escalating from $1.21 billion in 2024 up to $1.29 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
Factors for this growth during the historic period include a surge in urbanization, an upswing in construction activity, augmented development of the iron and steel sectors, and sturdy economic progression in emerging markets.
The induction furnace market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of induction furnaces is projected to undergo significant expansion in the upcoming years, reaching $1.7 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 7.1%.
Numerous factors driving this growth can be identified like, swift industrialization, an expanding automotive market, growth in the aerospace industry quite apart from the escalating global requirement for steel and copper. Forecasted trends during this period are inclusive of enhanced automation and IoT integration, development of more compact and portable furnaces, adoption of eco-friendly technologies, product novelties and an increased employment of induction stirring technology.
The expansion of the aerospace industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the induction furnace market. Induction furnaces are frequently used by aerospace companies due to their predetermined specifications for manufacturing processes. They offer various applications in the production of aircraft, including heat treating, metal hardening, curing of epoxies and coatings, research and testing of special materials, heating and bonding of composite materials, and casting of diverse metals like titanium and super alloys. They also enable vacuum and levitation melting of special alloys. For instance, the Aerospace Industries Association, a US government agency, reported in September 2024 that the U.S. aerospace and defense industry surpassed sales of $955 billion in 2023, marking a 7.1 percent growth from the previous year. Consequently, the burgeoning growth of the aerospace sector will fuel the future of the induction furnace market.
