Mexico Forging Market

Mexico Forging Market Overview:

The Mexico forging market size reached USD 148.44 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 246.44 Million by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.20% during ​2025-2033​. The market is driven by rising demand in automotive, aerospace, and construction industries. Technological advancements, increased automotive production, and the need for durable components are fueling market growth. Additionally, the shift to advanced materials and government infrastructure projects is boosting demand, expanding Mexico forging market share.

Mexico Forging Market Trends:

Increasing Automotive Demand

The automotive sector is a key driver of Mexico’s forging market growth. With Mexico being a prominent hub for automotive manufacturing, the demand for forged components has surged in recent years. For instance, as per industry reports, in 2024, Mexico's automotive industry accounted for 3.6% of the country's total GDP and 17.6% of its manufacturing output. As a leading vehicle producer, Mexico plays a central role in global automotive supply chains, particularly in North America. Notably, around 18% of all cars sold in the U.S. were manufactured in Mexico, underscoring its importance as a production hub for the region. Automakers need high-quality forged components for such crucial parts as engine blocks, crankshafts, and suspension components. The increase in vehicle manufacturing, particularly by multinational players within the country, has increased the demand for the components. The transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) is further defining new forging requirements, with EVs needing special components for batteries, motors, and body frames. As the automobile industry keeps on booming, it will play a major role in Mexico forging market development, inspiring competition and innovation in forging technology.

Rising Demand from Aerospace and Industrial Sectors

The aerospace and industrial segments in Mexico are demonstrating a strong demand for forged parts, fueling the Mexico forging market. With the increase in Mexico's aerospace industry, particularly with big aerospace players like Airbus, Bombardier, and Boeing opening manufacturing plants, a growing demand for precision forging parts to be utilized in airframes, engines, and turbines is being witnessed. Furthermore, the heavy machinery parts and equipment components requirement of the industrial sector is driving the demand for forgings. As Mexico further expands its industrial base, the demand for quality forged components will grow, further solidifying the direction of the market. For instance, in October 2024, ArcelorMittal Mexico announced plans to resume operations at its blast furnace in Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, after nearly five months of inactivity due to a labor dispute. The restart will enable the production of long steel products, including rod and wire rod, with an annual capacity of 1.5 million metric tons. This move brings the plant's total production capacity back to 5.3 million metric tons per year. Consequently, this sector is expected to play an important role in the Mexico forging market growth in the coming years.
