Japan Forged Steel Market Trends:

Increased Demand for High-Performance Automotive Components

Automotive industry in Japan is a major driver for the forged steel market in the country. With the demand for performance cars always growing, high-quality, long-lasting forged steel parts is needed more than ever. This comprises of key components like crankshafts, suspension parts, and gears that need the reliability and strength of forged steel. The growth towards electric vehicles is also creating new avenues in the forged steel industry as they call for specialized components in batteries, motors, and frames. With Japanese automakers more concerned about weight reduction and fuel efficiency, they increasingly depend on new material technology, driving demand for high-performance forged steel products. Improvement in forging technologies is a main driver of Japan forged steel market growth. For instance, in June 2024, Super Screws Pvt Ltd entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Japan's Mitsuchi Corporation to establish a joint venture for the production of cold forged parts in India. This collaboration aims to combine Mitsuchi’s advanced technology with Super Screws’ engineering expertise to manufacture high-quality components for both the Indian market and global exports, with a focus on the automotive and industrial sectors.

Advancements in Forging Technologies and Process Optimization

New technologies like precision forging, isothermal forging, and closed-die forging are optimizing efficiency, quality, and flexibility of manufacturing processes. Such technologies enable producers to create parts with less waste of material, better mechanical properties, and closer tolerances. Automation and robotics in forging processes are also maximizing production efficiency, lowering labor expenses, and enhancing accuracy. As Japan becomes more inclined to embrace these modern technologies, the capacity for producing increasingly complex, high-performance steel parts will grow, solidifying Japan's competitive position in the international forged steel market. For instance, in March 2025, Yamato Kogyo Co., Ltd. and JFE Steel Corporation announced a collaboration in Japan's section steel market. JFE Steel will use Yamato Steel as a supplier for selected H-beam products. The partnership aims to optimize production systems, improve productivity, and meet customer demands, while addressing the structural steel market's challenges. This, in turn, will enhance the efficiency and flexibility of steel production, supporting technological advancements in forging processes.
