Fine blanking technology is a major step ahead in the metal forming industry. Steady advancements in the tools and techniques have led fine blanking to be widely embraced for mass production of precision in various industries. The demand for fine blanking tools has risen in the automotive manufacturing. Businesses in the end-use industry increasingly deploy technology for production of precision parts for engines, manufacturing of range of gears, and parts for the breaking system. A key advantage of the technology appraised by end-use industries is elimination the need for machining process and other secondary processes unlike conventional metal stamping.
Various other end-use industries notably construction and aerospace have also gained benefits of salient features of fine blacking technology in making parts of remarkable precise geometries. Advancements in the impingement technologies and high performance materials for the tooling are propelling demand in the fine blacking tools market. The apt choice of the tool steel, brass alloys, and aluminum alloys boost the success rate of the fine blanking process. The automotive industry in particular has extensively benefitted from the adoption of fine blanking technology, spurring the sales in the fine blanking tools market.
Relentless focus by various automobile manufacturing companies and vehicle manufacturers on improving the safety parameters of automotive is a key driver for the fine blanking tools market. Over the past few decades, these tools have witnessed a wide scope of commercialization, anchored in the growing preference of the technology over stamping for making wide range of gears, notably spur gears, helical gears, multiple and complex gear sets. The tight dimensional tolerance and the remarkable surface finish underpin the growing proposition of products in the fine blanking tools market. In recent years, automakers have offered some niche applications of fine blanking, thereby unlocking new revenue streams in the fine blanking tools market.
Strides in the metal forming industry has spurred the demand for fine blanking tools in mass production of switchgears and compressors. As a result, the revenue prospects have risen from the adoption of the fine blanking technology in electronics and aviation industry.
Solution providers and manufacturers in the fine blanking tools market are focused on technological advancements that enable them to comply with regional and international standards prevailing in the metal forming industry. Prominent players have leveraged automated manufacturing for developing parts that may prove cost effective for clients in end-use industries in precision mass production techniques. This is because high cost is a major dampener for the adoption of the technology and hence of commercialization of fine blanking tools.
Some of the top players are targeting new revenues from emerging application in the aviation sector, heavy duty, medical, and the electronics industry. Providers of high-speed steel solutions are also catering to the demand for fine blacking tools, and many of them have grown their spending on powder metallurgy production programs.
Some of the key players in the fine blanking tools market are Quantum Manufacturing Limited, Ferrari & Carena, Menear Engineering, Petford Group, Kenmode Precision Metal Stamping, IFB Industries Limited, and Voestalpine.
Asia Pacific is emerging as potentially lucrative fine blanking tools market. The growth of revenues in the Asia Pacific fine blanking tools market is propelled increasingly by the rise in adoption of the technology by automotive manufacturers. Over the past several decades, the automotive and automobile industry has made vast strides in the developed as well as developing countries of the region have underpinned lucrative prospects of the regional market. North America, Europe, and Latin America are likely to contribute revenues to the global fine blanking tools market during the forecast period of 2021 – 2031.
