TAILORED BLANK MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Tailored Blank Market is projected to reach USD 6.84 billion in 2025, steadily progressing to USD 19.72 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 14.16% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Tailored Blank market size is expected to reach USD 2.184 billion by 2025, with Europe reaching USD 1.602 billion, and China at USD 2.167 billion.

Tailored blanks, also known as semi-finished parts, are often created from sheets of various metals, thicknesses, coatings, or other types of material. These will undergo thorough drawing or stamping after joining. ThyssenKrupp created tailored blanks to create sheets that were broader than those produced at the time's rolling mills. Modern products like door panels, which are thick near the hinges and thin near the lock to withstand various loads or corrosion attacks, are made from customised blanks.

Wider sheets than those produced on the time's existing rolling mills were made possible by the development of tailored blanks. Modern products like door panels, which are thick near the hinges and thin near the lock to withstand various loads or corrosion attacks, are made from customised blanks. Compared to traditional sheets, they are frequently lighter and less expensive. Steel is usually used to make tailored products. Tailor-made blanks made of aluminium and other materials are also available but less frequently.

Key Findings 

COVID-19 Impact

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the tailored blank market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 crisis has affected the world economy with stringent lockdown and halt of day to day operations in every industry. The panic situation has created a negative impact in the industries with the restrictions imposed by the government. This has resulted in decline in the market as well, there was a direct and indirect impact from various industries manufacturing tailored blanks. With the revival of the market post COVID-19 is seeing a recovery of the market where the blanks are restructured with product innovation and investments into R&D activities to develop the advanced technologies to meet advanced requirements will project a proposed increase in the forecasted period.

LATEST TRENDS

Indulgence in the Lightweight Construction to Attract the Market Share

Innovation and continuous product development are two pillars of industrial growth. Almost all the tailored products developed and introduced to the market are used in modern lightweight construction. The demand for lightweight construction and functionality is constantly growing all the time. Constant advancement in the tailored products has resulted in cost effectiveness and mass production suitability. With the laser-welded blanks made of aluminium, the research department of Baosteel tailored products has brought to market a product that is even lighter and thus much cheaper to use than a mono blank which is made of aluminium.

• According to the European Steel Association (EUROFER), the adoption of tailored blanks in lightweight vehicle manufacturing increased by 18% from 2021 to 2023, as OEMs prioritized fuel efficiency and emissions reduction through laser-welded steel panels.

• As reported by the Japan Iron and Steel Federation (JISF), over 5,600 metric tons of tailored aluminium blanks were processed in 2023 for use in next-generation electric vehicle (EV) body frames, replacing mono blanks in 3 out of 5 new EV platforms.

DRIVING FACTORS

Spike in Use of Vehicles to Boost the Market Growth

Tailored Blanks are manufactured from individual steel or aluminium sheets of varying thickness, strength, and coating that are laser welded together. The vehicle body, chassis, interiors, exteriors, seating, powertrains, electronics, closures, roof systems, and modules are just a few examples of automotive elements and components. To provide consumers with the optimum driving experience, all the parts and components are put in a vehicles with the help of tailored products. There are numerous benefits to using tailored products; the manufacturing process ensures that the right material is used in the right place and reduces part weight. Only high-quality, expensive materials are used when absolutely necessary. In high-stress areas, stronger materials can be used. This improves energy absorption by increasing rigidity. Material utilisation is maximised through optimised nesting. Reduced investment costs are achieved by using fewer parts in tools and assembly lines. The elimination of overlapping joints improves corrosion properties.

The Numerous Applications in the Automotive Industry to Multiply the Market Share

Millions of cars worldwide utilize tailored products now a days, most of them are used in the automotive industry. In parts like door inner panels, B-pillars, and side panels, the highest safety standards are combined with cost-effective, lightweight design. They satisfy various requirements such as tailored products employ less materials overall, which reduces the weight of the car and greatly lowers the cost because the high-end expensive materials are only used when absolutely essential. Additionally, the amount of extra reinforcements and overlapping joints on the car body are decreased by tailored products. In order to satisfy our customers' expectations, tailored products greatly simplifies the process of automobile body assembly.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office, using tailored welded blanks can reduce vehicle body weight by up to 31%, resulting in improved energy absorption and crash safety performance in over 75% of modern sedans.

• As stated by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), local tailored blank adoption in German automotive plants grew by 23% from 2020 to 2023, attributed to higher steel-aluminium hybrid usage in car doors and B-pillars.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Challenges Associated with the Manufacturing to Restrain Market Expansion

The process needs to be transformed to building applications, which will require overcoming a variety of production challenges. A number of manufacturing challenges, including increased weld duration, precise section cutting, and stable clamping, are presented by the rise in component size from automotive to construction items. Additionally, considerations for the surface finish, cost management concerns, and blanking distribution will be necessary. Hence the resultant can restrain the tailored blank market growth globally.

• According to the World Steel Association, production losses from weld-related defects in tailored blank manufacturing exceeded 7.2% globally in 2023, particularly in patchwork blank and tailor heat-treated formats.

• As per India’s Ministry of Heavy Industries, small and mid-sized sheet metal suppliers faced rejection rates of up to 12% in tailored blank parts due to challenges in maintaining cut precision and weld overlap within ±0.1 mm tolerance.
