Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024-2036

Superplastic Alloys Market size is poised to reach USD 40 billion by the end of 2036, expanding around 12% CAGR during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of superplastic alloys was over USD 17 billion. The major factor to influence the sector growth is the growing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive sector. Lightweight materials possess a lot of potential for enhancing vehicle efficiency since they requires less energy to accelerate a lighter item than a heavy one. A 6%–8% increase in fuel efficiency might be obtained with a 10% decrease in vehicle weight.

Moreover, due to superplastic formation, car manufacturers are able to produce intricate parts made of thin and lightweight materials without having to break the budget. This is done by replaying cast iron and conventional steel components with lightweight alternatives including high-strength steel, magnesium (Mg) alloys, aluminum (Al) alloys, and more. This may instantly decrease a vehicle's body and chassis weight by up to 50%, which in turn lowers fuel consumption. As a result, the superplastic alloys market is rising.

Superplastic Alloys Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Utilization for Superplastic Alloy in Aerospace - The aircraft industry uses superplastic forming as a cost-effective method for producing complicated components to nearly net shape as a single piece. This decreases the number of individual pieces and the assembly costs that are sometimes involved with producing complex components. For many years, the aerospace sector has been employing this forming technology for specialized goods. One of the most significant superplastic alloy materials used in aerospace is titanium. Owing to its toughness, tolerance to high temperatures, and low weight, this material is extensively utilized in the aircraft industry. Additionally, the use of aluminum is also growing rigorously in this sector. Hence, the superplastic alloys market revenue is projected to increase.
  • Rising Use of Recycled Superplastic Alloy - The creation of environmentally conscious and sustainable superplastic materials is a current trend in the superplastic materials sector. As the desire to protect the environment becomes more pressing, producers are looking into ways to make superplastic materials that have lower carbon footprints. Green production techniques and the utilization of recyclable resources are instances of recent innovations. This development offers superplastic materials as ethical options for industries that care about the environment and is in line with the global trend towards sustainable practices.
  • Surge in the Use of Automation to Produce Superplastic Alloy - As the demand for higher output and cost reduction persists, firms involved in the manufacturing of superplastic alloys are turning to automation and Industry 4.0 solutions to boost their productivity. Various issues which including stock shortages may be prevented from occurring during downtime by employing devices that track materials at a workstation or in inventory. Observing equipment run durations could be sufficient to save downtime by modifying workflow to minimize changeovers, or it could show which areas would benefit from further automation investments. Furthermore, automated equipment increases repeatability, which lowers inconsistency in manufacturing and raises quality. Moreover, with the advancement of digital technologies including IIoT, robots, and machine vision, factory automation is set to grow in the future. Hence, the production of superplastic alloy is set to grow efficiently which would also drive superplastic alloys market expansion.

Challenges

  • Low Rate of Formation of Superplastic Alloy
  • Growing Risk of Superplastic Alloy on the Environment
  • Requires High Investment in the Formation of Superplastic Alloys - Compared to traditional alloys, the formation of superplastic is a slower process and requires more expensive materials. Superplastic forming usually offers a financial benefit when it comes to tiny to medium-sized complex pieces, which are typically made of pricey materials with poor formability. However, in case of huge consignment, the need for great quality materials increases which further also boosts the need for investment. As a result, the manufacturer's preference for traditional alloys might grow which would hinder the adoption of superplastic alloys.

Superplastic Alloys Segmentation

Substrate Material (Aluminum Alloy, Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites, Nickel Based Alloys, Iron Based Alloys, Magnesium Based Alloys, Titanium Alloys)

The aluminum alloy segment is predicted to hold 30% share of the global superplastic alloys market by 2036. The major factor to dominate the segment expansion is rising construction activities. In 2016, there were projected to be 794,431 built-up areas (BUAs) around the world. This figure is expected to rise to about 849,406 people by 2022. Moreover, by 2050, it's anticipated that 2 million new buildings will be built. Hence, the demand for aluminum alloy is also surging since it is used in developing the lining of buildings. Also, these alloys have the best corrosion resistivity properties. As a result, they are most preferred in the construction sector. Moreover, aluminum alloys that have been superplastically formed, or SPF, are capable of being heated to many times their original size without breaking. As a result of their exceptional flexibility, components can be shaped into the desired shape using specialized forming equipment that applies air pressure and/or tool movement.

Superplasticity Mechanism (Microstructural, Dynamic)

The microstructural segment in the superplastic alloys market is poised to garner largest revenue share of about 60% over the forecast period. Microstructural is considered to be the most significant process for the production of superplastic alloy since it could go through deformation at high temperatures. Hence, its application is also growing in the medical sector since it is required to molded in unique shapes and sizes. Further, it has also been rigorously used in manufacturing various consumer electronics which includes wearable devices, smartphones, headphones, and more since these devices need to carry low weight and durability.
