How do you gauge the metal forming industry in India?

The market size of India’s metal forming sector during 2016-2017 was ` 2,450 crore Indian metal forming industry has a market share of around 25 per cent. Around 75 per cent of metal forming machines consumed in India are imported.

India’s metal forming sector contributed around 20 per cent of the total machine tool demand in India during 2016-2017. The long-term prospects look good with demand picking up in consumer durables, electronics and automobile industries.

Metal forming industry is expected to grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of around 15 per cent in the next 3-5 years.

How mature is the metal forming industry in India in terms of technology adoption? How do you see the impact of Industry 4.0 on metal forming?

Technology development is crucial for improving productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. With demand for quality on end products increasing, metal forming sector is significantly moving towards intelligent manufacturing as elucidated by the use of Industry 4.0 or Industrial Internet of Things, increasing use of metal additive manufacturing or 3D Printing, etc. Every segment including large original equipment buyers are opting for new premium technologies such as near net shape forming, hydro forming, laser processing, three-point bending and folding, and so on to bring forth products with zero-defect.

Further, there is plenty of scope for automation in sheet metal machines. Indian customers are also realising the potential that automation provides in terms of quality improvement, safety in handling of sheet metal and fatigue of operators, etc. Smaller firms are opting for automated machines selectively.
