The top three revenue contributing type segments are discussed below

Global closed-die forging market: The manufacturing of closed die forging or impression-die forging involves the use of an impression die to compress the workpiece. Closed dies are mainly used in the automotive and commercial aerospace segments.

Vendors in the market are redesigning the robots used in forging to enhance their productivity through the incorporation of new technologies. One such development is collision resistance,” says Anju Ajaykumar, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on metals and minerals.

Global open-die forging market: Open die forging, also sometimes referred to as ‘upsetting,’ involves the use of two flat dies to reduce the height of the workpiece by the application of compressive force. This type of forging is used in industry segments such as oil and gas, defense and aerospace, and metal processing.

Global seamless rings market: The seamless rings market is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the global forging market. The process of manufacturing seamless forged rings is also known as ‘ring rolling’ and is performed using rolling mills.
