Flanges Global Market Report 2026

Flanges, serving as ribs or rims, play a crucial role in providing strength, direction, and attachment in various systems. They facilitate the connection of pipes, valves, pumps, and other components to create a cohesive piping structure, commonly through welding or screwing methods.

The primary types of flanges include welding neck, long welding neck, slip-on, socket weld, lap joint, and other variations. Welding neck flanges, also known as high-hub or tapered hub flanges, are designed to distribute stress to the pipes, thereby reducing the concentration of high stress at the flange's base. These flanges offer increased strength, making them suitable for applications involving higher pressures, temperature variations causing line expansion or contraction, and other dynamic stresses. Flanges are crafted from diverse materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, polymers, and others, catering to a broad spectrum of industries including aviation and aerospace, petrochemical, architectural decoration, food and beverage processing, construction, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally.

The flanges market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.5 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in petrochemical and chemical processing plants, expansion in construction and infrastructure projects, increasing adoption of high-grade stainless steel and aluminum flanges, rising use in aviation and aerospace applications, demand for custom-designed and high-precision flanges. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of welding neck and slip-on flanges, use of stainless steel and carbon steel flanges, integration of flanges in petrochemical and food processing industries, development of raised face and threaded flanges, implementation of standardized flange dimensions and specifications.

The growing expansion of the petroleum industry is expected to drive the growth of the flanges market in the coming years. Flanges are essential components in piping systems, and their demand is influenced by the construction and expansion of pipelines, refinery operations, oil and gas exploration, upstream and downstream projects, global energy demand, technological advancements, government policies, and international trade. For example, in May 2025, Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, reported that EU refineries produced 537.4 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) of petroleum products in 2023. Consequently, the ongoing expansion of the petroleum industry is fueling growth in the flanges market.

Leading companies in the flanges market are focusing on introducing innovative solutions, such as water-shedding designs, to maintain their market position. A water-shedding flange design incorporates features that prevent water accumulation, often using a built-in radius or other structural elements to facilitate water runoff and avoid pooling. For example, in April 2023, Attabox LLC, a US-based polycarbonate enclosure manufacturer, launched a durable alternative to traditional mounting feet-full flanges compatible with polycarbonate enclosures or available as an accessory kit. These flanges, designed for various surfaces and compatible with multiple mounting hardware types, feature an innovative water-shedding design to prevent water buildup. Ideal for industries such as electrical, oil and gas, manufacturing, security, and communications, the flanges provide installation flexibility with a mounting cross supporting multiple screw positions. They are available through standard enclosure catalog numbers or as standalone accessory kits, suitable for non-hazardous industrial applications.

In March 2024, Genesys Industries, a U.S.-based industrial manufacturing firm, acquired Latrobe Foundry Machine & Supply Company for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to broaden its presence in the manufacturing of mechanical hardware components, enhance its product offerings, and leverage synergies to deliver a wider range of products and improved service levels to customers. Latrobe Foundry Machine & Supply Company is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in premium threaded and flanged aluminum pipe fittings and hardware components.
