“The load-bearing core of an aircraft is built on forgings: landing gear, engine cases and disks, shafts, structural fittings that have to survive flight cycle after flight cycle. Two things make forging supply worth watching. The supplier base is concentrated for key applications, and the largest structural forgings depend on a small global count of presses at 20,000 tons and above.

The Aerospace Forgings market report characterizes and forecasts global demand by several segmentations, maps supply, and analyzes various technical and supply chain trends impacting the market. It includes:

• Forging demand by end-use market, aircraft system, material, and forging type
• The forging processes explained, from conventional closed-die to isothermal, open die, and forged rings
• Supplier structure and market shares, with detailed profiles of PCC, Howmet, and ATI and high-level profiles of 45 others
• Country risk levels and locations for the ≥20,000-ton presses that gate large structural forgings
• Key market, design, and technology trends impacting both demand and supply of forgings

Built for aerospace strategy, procurement and supply chain, and investor teams sourcing components where lead times are long and the qualified press capacity is finite.”
