The global vertical furnaces market size was USD 385.9 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 651.96 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period.

Vertical furnaces are used to process wafers during semiconductor device manufacturing, including annealing, film formation, and resin film hardening. These furnaces use electric heating components to gain a near-vacuum state. These are primarily employed in tool and die, automotive, commercial heat treatments, and aerospace, among various industries. The vertical furnace is a type of furnace which is more efficient than the horizontal furnace. These furnaces can work at a high and uniform temperature and can be used for specific atmospheric conditions such as air-tight chambers and inert gases. 

Vertical furnaces are an external quench, brazing, and vacuum heat-treating furnaces designed for high-production aerospace, commercial and captive heat treating shops. These furnaces are capable of resisting high vacuum. These furnaces are designed for brazing, normalizing, annealing, sintering, degassing, and low-pressure carburizing. These furnaces are designed with an integrated heavy-duty support structure, gas cooling at various pressure, and a gas recirculation motor of around 300 horsepower. 

COVID-19 Impact: Halt in Air Travel During Pandemic Outbreak Impeded Product Demand 

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

The outbreak of COVID-19 affected the global economy by hindering the transport, manufacturing, and supply in various industries. During the pandemic, outbreak air travel and others were kept on hold, impeding product demand. All the industries such as transports, automotive, aerospace, constructions and others witnessed stagnancy in their growth due to complete lockdown and stringent rules and regulations by the government. The semiconductor and electronics industry was no exception as it witnessed a severe downfall. Air travel was prohibited, affecting the growth as the aerospace industry mainly uses these furnaces.
