Size of the Commercial Heat Treat Market, SECO/WARWICK
For years now “The Monty Heat Treat News” has commented on the size of the global commercial heat-treating market-we have always pointed out that this is extremely difficult to calculate as every estimate seems to use different criteria as to what exactly constitutes heat treating.
This press release from one of the largest furnace builders in the world, “SECO/WARWICK” wades into this debate with these thoughts;
“The commercial heat treatment market is entering a decade of dynamic growth. According to the latest report, the global value of heat treatment services is expected to rise from USD 3.17 billion in 2025 to USD 7.04 billion in 2035, representing an average annual growth rate of 8.3 percent. The main drivers of this development are the aerospace and automotive industries, which are increasingly seeking materials with high strength, thermal resistance and stability over long operational cycles. In these sectors, the properties achieved through advanced heat treatment technologies are crucial for the safety and efficiency of entire constructions. As a result, there is a significant increase in the sales volume of metal processing equipment for this sector. The SECO/WARWICK Group plays a substantial role in this area.”
Commercial heat treatment plants are among SECO/WARWICK Group’s key partners. Some have been working with the company for decades, and the solutions delivered support both large commercial heat treatment facilities with extensive machine parks, and smaller local plants or companies just starting their heat treatment operations. Among these clients are heat treatment plants that continuously expand their equipment park with SECO/WARWICK-branded devices. Service plants are frequently equipped with SECO/WARWICK technology processes, among them, tools and die, gearbox components, pipe, heat exchangers, jet engine parts, gas turbine components, as well as fuel lines, levers, gears, transmissions and battery coolers.
SECO/WARWICK has been cooperating with heat treatment plants worldwide for years, implementing solutions that allow flexible adaptation of processes to market requirements. A good example is the cooperation with HART-TECH, which began in 2010 with the purchase of a retort furnace for nitriding. Over time, the machine park was supplemented with CaseMaster Evolution multi-chamber vacuum lines, enabling low-pressure carburizing (LPC) with oil or gas quenching. Thanks to these systems, HART-TECH could offer the tooling industry processes that minimize component distortion, and further investments in Vector vacuum furnaces with gas quenching provided the company with even greater versatility. SECO/WARWICK technologies enabled the heat treatment plant to expand its operations and build process advantages, while the new generation of CaseMaster Evolution furnaces increased production efficiency and organizational flexibility.
“The commercial heat treatment market is growing at an impressive pace, and SECO/WARWICK delivers solutions that allow our partners to benefit from this potential. We can see how vacuum technologies like the CaseMaster Evolution and Vector are transforming the face of modern heat treatment plants, offering them greater efficiency, better quality, and flexibility in serving demanding industries such as aerospace and automotive. These investments pay off not only economically but also environmentally, which today is one of the most important challenges for industry,” – said Sławomir Woźniak, CEO of SECO/WARWICK Group.”Read the entire article here; “Perspectives for the Commercial Heat Treatment Market”
