Tool steel market Share, Present Efficiencies and Future Challenges from 2016 to 2024

Tool Steel Market Share, Growth, Analysis, Statistics, Trends,
Forecast Report, 2024: Global Market Insights Inc.
A research analysis on Tool Steel Market says that it is expected to witness a surge
in demand owing to increase in manufacturing of various cutting including gear cutters,
instrument bits, drills, punches, taps, planers, milling cutters, saw blades, die, jointer
blades and router bits. The product provides cost effective machinability, good thermal
conduction and hardening, wear resistance and good polishing and acid treatment
properties.
Toot steel is a terminology used in several high hardness and abrasion resistant
processes. Some of the specific instrumental applications are cutting, dies (extrusion
or stamping), mold making and hammering. It is also commonly used in the
manufacture of knives. These are generally hard and are used to manufacture other
metal items in a wide range of shapes including flat bar, round bar, plate, square bar
and hexagon bar.
The benefit of the product is their high strength to bear cutting forces and low costs of
manufactured instruments from tool steel. Owning to useful feature of being most
economical material used in the manufacture for any type of cutting instrument, these
are used in variety of end use industries including plastics, automotive, chemical,
aerospace, oil & gas and healthcare.
On the basis of product type, metal cutting segment is anticipated to grow highest in
tool steel market owing to its increasing demand for machine apparatuses in numerous
applications including bore, mill, grind, cut, tap, shape, form, drill and cast. It is also
used in determining the product quality. Several chemicals such as molybdenum,
tungsten, vanadium and cobalt are present in tool steel which helps to increase the
durability and heat resistance of the metal. This makes them prefect for cutting and
drilling purposes.
Tool steel market is segmented into six types: cold-work, water-hardening, hot-work,
shock-resisting, high-speed, and special purpose. Factors including cost
effectiveness, surface harness, shock resistance, working temperature, strength and
durability requirement are vital for choosing appropriate type of product. During high
product demand for increased abrasiveness, extreme temperature, excessive loading
and high corrosion, higher alloy contents and carbides are crucially used.
Cutting instrument applications are leading the overall tool steel market demand owing
to the growing applications of metal cutting for complex and critical components with

comfort and utmost accuracy. Cutting of material can be carried out by single point or
multiple tolls. Better known as cutter, they are particularly used as single point cutting
instruments for various processes which include turning, planning, shaping and similar
operations. One edge cutting technique is expected to lead the overall cutting
technologies. Increasing tool steel market demand for end users is projected to remain
one of the vital growth drivers for cutting instruments in the forecasted period.
Automotive industry is the fastest growing end user of product and is projected to lead
the overall tool steel market globally in coming years. It is used to manufacture pumps,
injectors, valves, inserts, turbocharges, pistons, valve seats, valve balls and valve
needles. They are also used in the molding of plastics to manufacture tail lamps, inner
panels and headlamps of automobiles. Rising global demand for automotive and
growing mechanization in automotive industry has boosted tool steel market in this
industry.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness highest growth in the global tool steel market in the
coming future owing to high economic growth and increased investments by several
government and leading industry players in the region to carry out inventions in the
field of product. In addition, rise in disposable income of the middle-class population
and rapid industrialization in the region is driving tool steel market in various industries
including automotive, aviation, mining, and medical. China, Japan and India are
leading players in region.
Global tool steel market is fragmented as there is no major player for manufacturing
of the product. Key industry players are Hudson, Qilu Special, Sandvik Materials
Technology AB, Samuel Son, Voestalpine, Fushun Special, TG, Nachi-Fujikoshi,
Schmolz + Bickenbach, Hitachi, ERAMET and Universal Stainless. Some of the other
prominent players include ThyssenKrupp, Friedr. Lohmann, Alloy Tool Steel, Daido,
Kennametal and ArcelorMittal.
