The India heat treating market size was valued at USD 3.8 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 8.37 billion by 2027 at a 7.5% CAGR. Prospective growth in crude steel production in the country has resulted in rapid market growth over the recent past. With a view to improve quality, reduce labor costs, and human intervention, computer control is being used to manage the increasingly large number of functions in the heat treatment shop.
These range from work piece tracking and delivery management to close control of furnace temperatures and atmospheres. It is expected that by the turn of the century, continuous processing technology will dominate over batch heat treating. Another noticeable trend is a switch from electric heat-treating furnaces to gas-fired units. This change is expected to result in a reduction in operating costs and better control of environmental pollution.
