KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 Impact: 

Downturn in Industrial Activity due to Pandemic Decreased Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels. The pandemic immensely impacted global supply chains which obstructed the production and availability of components and raw materials. This emergency also delayed the manufacturing and delivery of induction heating rollers. In addition, several industries experienced a slowdown or temporary shutdowns due to lockdowns and restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the virus. This decline in industrial activity resulted in a decreased demand for various industrial equipment, including induction heating rollers. Consequently, the market experienced a decay in demand and revenue during the pandemic. While the industry may eventually recover as the situation improves, the immediate impact of COVID-19 was predominantly negative for the global market.

LATEST TRENDS

Continuous Technological Advancements to Develop Market Opportunities

The induction heating industry has been witnessing continuous technological advancements, including improvements in control systems, automation, and the integration of smart technologies. Enhanced control and automation features contribute to increased efficiency and precision in heating processes. Advanced control systems in induction heating technology involve the use of sophisticated algorithms and precise instrumentation to monitor and regulate the heating process. These systems enable operators to achieve a higher degree of control over parameters such as temperature, power, and heating duration that ensure optimal and consistent results in industrial applications.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), induction heating systems can reduce industrial energy consumption by 30% compared to conventional heating methods, driving adoption in roller technologies.

• The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in 2023 that industrial electrification projects rose by 18% globally, with induction heating rollers increasingly replacing fossil fuel-based heating equipment.

Induction Heating Roller Market SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Single-Axis Induction Heating Roller and Biaxial Induction Heating Roller.

Single-axis induction heating rollers are specialized equipment designed for precise and directional heating of materials along a single axis. On the other hand, biaxial induction heating rollers represent an advanced form of induction heating equipment that features heating elements along two axes. Unlike the single-axis design, biaxial rollers provide more versatility by offering simultaneous heating in multiple directions.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Metallic Material, Plastic and Rubber, Paper and Printing, and Others.

Metallic material plays a vital role in heat treatment processes for metals, enhancing strength and durability in applications like automotive manufacturing. Plastic and Rubber applications involve shaping and molding processes, facilitating efficient production in industries like plastic extrusion and rubber processing. while, in paper and printing, induction heating rollers are utilized for drying inks and curing adhesives which contribute to quality and efficiency in printing and paper processing

DRIVING FACTORS
