DIE STEEL MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global die steel market size was USD 5.83 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 9.04 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5% from 2025 to 2033. Asia-Pacific is dominating the die steel market share in 2025.

Iron, non-ferrous metals, plus alloy derivative workpieces are frequently hot-formed at extremely high temperatures using die steels. These steels are widely used in industrial procedures such pressured die casting, dropped forging, and the manufacture of tubes and glasses. Whenever the tool surface gets into proximity to the material to be processed, hot-work steel tools and equipment are subjected to high temperature and varying thermic loads. High tempering resistance, solid thermal shock resistance, robust wear resistance, and high stiffness are the main properties of this advanced material. Industries employ high-quality this advanced material extensively to achieve the highest levels of operating productivity and efficiency.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Interruption in Supply Chains to Deplete Market Growth

The most recent article completely describes the COVID-19 pandemic's enormous effects on the market on a global scale. The global die steel market and the companies working in it have suffered greatly as a result of the coronavirus epidemic, which has completely altered the world's economic environment. Long-term company closures were caused by the worries about the spread of the deadly coronavirus and the strict social isolation policies, which stopped a variety of industrial activity. As a result, the severe effects of COVID-19 on the building and construction industry have reduced demand for this advanced material, significantly slowing the expansion of the global market. Market analysts predict that after COVID-19, the global die steel market growth will pick up steam in the coming years.

LATEST TRENDS

Adequate Ductility of the Material to Intensify Market Magnification

For the fabrication of tools used in the mass manufacturing of metal, plastic, and other elements, this steel are a common choice of material. These tools comprise extruding dies, pressured casting dies, molds, punch, and several other components for molding plastics using materials that have been heated to temperatures between 250 and 700 degrees Celsius. Since shape stability is a fundamental necessity for all tools, the material is used to create them that is able to withstand weights without causing plastic to deform while yet keeping a high level of abrasion resistance. The material has adequate ductility and impact strength, good hardness, and strength to ensure crack resistance.

DRIVING FACTORS

Elevation in Hot Forming Procedures to Boost Market Share

Hot forming techniques make use of this advanced material. A significant portion of metal products are produced using hot forming techniques, which are among the most significant and ancient metal forming techniques. In hot metal forming, the metal is formed using tools or dies during a process called plastic deformation or solidification. Above the temperature at which metals recrystallize, the hot deformation procedure takes place. The metal behaves precisely plastically at that temperature, making it simple to shape. The metals can be hot-worked indefinitely without the components breaking since they don't become internally strained or work-hardened. Hot forming techniques are on a significant rise which requires a constant utilization of the material. Therefore, promoting the die steel market share.

Utilization by Numerous Industries to Expand Market Forwarding

This advanced material has a wide range of uses, and the dies made with some of the steels are employed in numerous industries. In order to shape work pieces made from iron, non-ferrous metals, in addition to alloy derivatives, without cutting them, material are employed at high temperatures. They are used in the production of tubes and glass products as well as techniques including hot forging, pressured die casting, and extrusion.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Increased Setup Cost to Deplete Market Advancement

However, the cost of setting up machines and equipment to generate the advanced material is indeed very significant and needs constant maintenance, so an increment in machines and equipment setup cost raises the cost of material production. This, in turn, raises the cost of the end user. As a result, the die steel market growth is stifled.
