The global isostatic pressing market is on track to reach USD 9.9 billion by 2029, growing from USD 7.6 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. This growth can be attributed to the increasing use of isostatic pressing technologies, particularly in high-demand sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and medical. Isostatic pressing, encompassing both Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP), plays a pivotal role in improving material properties and manufacturing efficiency. The industry’s expansion is fueled by the growing need for high-density, long-lifecycle materials across various sectors.

HIP Systems Fuel Market Growth

The Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) segment is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period, driven by its integration with other heat-treatment processes. HIP systems combine high-pressure and high-temperature treatment to enhance the mechanical properties of materials, making them ideal for powder metallurgy and the manufacturing of complex parts like valves, rods, and pipes. The growing demand from industries such as aerospace, defense, and automotive is boosting the adoption of HIP, particularly as these sectors require materials with improved mechanical strength and reliability.

In particular, HIP systems are finding greater usage in additive manufacturing. The ability of HIP to densify 3D-printed parts, reduce porosity, and increase material density makes it a critical technology in modern manufacturing. This technological synergy with additive manufacturing ensures that HIP will continue to see widespread use in high-performance industrial applications.

Service Segment Sees Significant Growth

The service segment, which includes HIP and CIP services such as casting densification, powder compacting, bonding, and diffusion, is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. These services are in high demand as industries seek long-lasting, reliable materials with flawless characteristics. The aerospace, automotive, and medical industries are driving this demand due to their stringent requirements for high-quality, durable components. Leading providers, such as Bodycote and MTC Powder Solutions, offer these critical services, which enhance the performance and lifecycle of manufactured components.

Dry Bag Pressing Dominates Cold Isostatic Pressing Market

Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) is divided into two primary processes: wet bag and dry bag pressing. Of these, dry bag pressing has gained prominence and was the dominant segment in 2023. Dry bag systems are often fully automated and come with user-friendly software and computerized controls, making them highly efficient for mass production. Dry bag pressing is also faster and more economical than wet bag processes, making it a preferred choice for small-volume component densification.

Precision Manufacturing Holds Largest Market Share

In terms of industries, precision machine manufacturing is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Isostatic pressing, particularly HIP, is crucial in manufacturing aluminum castings and heavy equipment for the precision machine sector. The widespread adoption of isostatic pressing systems in industries such as food & beverage, oil & gas, and steel manufacturing is also contributing to this growth. Technological advancements in the manufacturing industry are further driving the demand for isostatic pressing, particularly as companies look for efficient, high-performance solutions to improve production quality.
