The U.S. isostatic pressing market is set for substantial growth, with its value projected to increase from USD 1.7 billion in 2024 to USD 3 billion by 2032, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. This growth is propelled by rising demand for high-performance, precision-engineered components in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and energy.
Federal investments are bolstering the market's momentum. A notable example includes a USD 30 million funding initiative announced in March 2023 by the U.S. Department of Energy to support net shape manufacturing technologies including hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and powder metallurgy. These investments highlight the strategic value of isostatic pressing in modern manufacturing and national industrial competitiveness.
In aerospace and defense, isostatic pressing is used to produce critical parts like turbine blades and structural components that must withstand extreme conditions. Simultaneously, the automotive industry's pivot toward electric vehicles is increasing the demand for lightweight and durable materials processed via isostatic techniques.
