Global Metal Heat Treatment Market 2016-2020
From: Technavio, London, UK, http://www.technavio.com
Date: May 2016
The global metal heat treatment market will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 6% by 2020. Copper and steel are two metals that are in high demand worldwide. As a result of rising investments in the construction sector, the demand for copper is likely to grow considerably. The rapid urbanization in the developing countries will also lead to an enormous demand for steel. This, in turn, will create the need for heat treatment processes that help copper and steel to attain desirable metallurgical properties and surface modifications.
The use of light-weight materials for automobile manufacturing is considered to be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market during the forecast period. Since countries across the globe are focusing more on environmental compatibility, preservation of resources, and safety, automobile companies have started manufacturing eco-friendly zero-emission vehicles. High tensile steel and light metals are expected to be in demand from the automobile industry and this, in turn, will augment the demand for the industrial heat treatment solutions.
According to this market study report, the automotive segment will account for about 32% of the total market share and will dominate the heat treatment market by 2020. Improvements in economic growth has led to an increase in the demand for fuel-efficient and technologically advanced cars equipped with more safety features. This rise in the sale and demand for automobiles coupled with increased investments in the automotive industry and the recent increase in the level of process automation will spur the demand for metal heat treatment in this market segment.
During 2015, APAC dominated the heat treatment market and accounted for more than 43% of the total market share. The increasing use of metal heat treatment processes in the automotive, manufacturing, and industrial sectors and the increased investments due to low-cost manufacturability in the region will lead to the growth of the metal heat treating market in the region during the forecast period.
The leading vendors in the market are Bluewater Thermal, General Metal, Keith, and Thermex. The other prominent vendors in the market are American Metal Treating, East-Lind Heat Treat, Engineered Heat Treat, Houston Heat Treat, Pacific Metallurgical, Paulo, Thermtech, and Tri-J Heat Treating.

Global Vacuum Heat Treatment Market 2016-2020
From: Technavio, London, UK, http://www.technavio.com
Date: Feb 2016
Vacuum heat treatment is a controlled process used to adjust the microstructure of materials such as metals and alloys. This process enhances the physical properties of the metal. There has been an increased use of this process in the copper processing industry in emerging nations such as India and China, which is primarily driving this market. These countries are going through extensive infrastructural developments, and this has boosted the requirement of copper. Companies are striving to reduce their product life cycle cost of operations, and environmental footprint, and hence, they are forced to bring in innovations according to market needs. For instance, ALD Vacuum Technologies launched a new vacuum heat treatment product “SyncroTherm”. SyncroTherm is integrated into manufacturing work center, and its use has resulted in dramatic cost reductions in component manufacturing.
The aerospace sector accounted for nearly 52% of the market share during 2015. Any deformation in the structural properties of a metal case can cause tragic accidents of the aircraft. Hence, precision is an important factor in the manufacturing of aerospace components. To avoid accidents, companies across the aerospace sector are using the latest vacuum heat treatment furnaces in their plants.
APAC accounted for the highest market share in 2015 and is expected to continue growing at an impressive rate over the next four years. Several organizations from EMEA and the Americas have started expanding their manufacturing operations to APAC because of low-cost manufacturability.
The leading vendors in the market are ALD Vacuum Technologies, ECM Technologies, Ipsen International, Seco/Warwick. Other prominent vendors in the market include Centorr Vacuum Industries, Consarc Engineering, Fours Industries BMI, G-M Enterprises, PVA TePla, Solar Manufacturing, TAV Vacuum Furnaces, Thermal Technology, T-M Vacuum Products, Sojitz JECT, Ulvac, and Vac Aero International.

From: IBISWorld, Los Angeles, CA/US, http://www.ibisworld.com
Date: Aug 2016
The market research report offers insightful industry analysis and research into the market at the national level and contains key industry statistics, market size, industry trends, and growth and profit forecasts for a 5-year outlook period.
In the past five years, the Metal Plating and Treating industry has lost some of its luster. In the coming years, there is significant potential for revenue growth as consumer and business confidence increase. This industry has a very low concentration of companies, with each business capturing only a small share of industry revenue. In 2016, IBISWorld estimates that the four largest companies account for less than 15.0% of industry revenue, which indicates a low level of market share concentration. According to US Census data, 96.4% of industry operators employ less than 100 workers, and 68.3% employ fewer than 20. This suggests that the majority of industry operators are small businesses that serve local and regional markets.

Metal Plating & Treating in Canada
From: IBISWorld, Los Angeles, CA/US, http://www.ibisworld.com
Date: Apr 2016
The metal plating and treating industry has moderately grown over the past five years, mostly due to expansion in the manufacturing and construction sectors, which are recovering from drastic falls suffered when the overall economy struggled. However, the industry is threatened by outsourced services to metal treating firms located in low-labour-cost countries. Industry operators provide services to steel and metal product manufacturers. As a result, industry establishments are concentrated in manufacturing hubs in Canada. Ontario accounts for the bulk of industry establishments, at 46.8%. The remaining industry establishments are concentrated in Quebec (18.1%), Alberta (15.4%) and British Columbia (12.2%). The distribution of establishments mostly matches the spread of the population across Canada. The four regions contain over 85.0% of the population.
Revenue also matches the distribution of establishments. Ontario accounts for 55.7% of total revenue.
