Shift Toward Lightweight Materials in Automotive Sector
One of the major trends propelling Japan forging market growth is the automobile industry's move towards lightweight materials. With automobile manufacturers in need of enhancing fuel efficiency and minimizing carbon emissions, the demand for light forged parts from advanced material such as aluminum and high-strength steel continues to increase. The material presents a combination of durability and weight savings necessary for enhancing car performance. The growing use of electric vehicles (EVs) also presents new application opportunities for forged components in battery systems, motors, and structural parts. As Japan remains a center for worldwide automobile manufacturing, demand for advanced forged products will increase, subsequently driving the Japan forging market growth. For instance, in June 2024, Super Screws Pvt Ltd signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mitsuchi Corporation of Japan to form a joint venture for manufacturing cold forged parts in India. The partnership aims to leverage Mitsuchi’s advanced technology and Super Screws’ engineering capabilities to produce high-quality components for the Indian market and global exports, particularly for the automotive and industrial sectors.
Technological Advancements in Forging Processes
Technological innovation in forging operations is another driving force for the forging industry in Japan. Precision forging, closed-die forging, and additive manufacturing processes are enhancing product quality, operational effectiveness, and customization. The new technologies enable manufacturers to create highly complex, high-performance parts with lower material waste. The use of automation and robotics in forging operations is also improving the capacity of production, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. For instance, Ohmi Press Works and Forging in Japan has ordered a new, energy-efficient ring rolling machine from SMS group, marking its sixth machine purchase. The RAW EH machine, set to operate in 2024, will produce seamless rings up to 4,500 millimeters in diameter with reduced energy consumption. Featuring the electrohydraulic direct drive concept, it will lower energy usage by up to 50%, improving production efficiency while meeting high-quality standards in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding. As Japan continues to adopt these advanced technologies, the market for forged products will expand, particularly in industries like aerospace and heavy machinery where precision and reliability are critical. These developments are crucial to strengthening Japan’s position in the global forging industry, contributing to overall market growth.
