As per Future Market Insights (FMI), the global metal bellows market stands at US$ 1.97 Billion as of now and is expected to reach US$ 3.55 Billion by the year 2032 at a CAGR of 6% between 2022 and 2032.

Bellows come through as ‘flexible seats’, mainly due to the fact that they have a pretty predictable spring rate due to elasticity. The manufacturing sector couldn’t be imagined without bellows, especially in flexible joints, vacuum seals, accumulators, and likewise. Welded bellow holds the largest market share due to better spring rate, resistance against chemicals, leak rate stroke, and likewise.

Metal bellows are capable of easily absorbing thermal and mechanical movement, and have a longer life-span. They are well-known for safeguarding against higher temperature. The tensile strength possessed by metal bellows is unparalleled. Those dealing with pipe joints prefer metal bellows as they help in curbing movement caused due to equipment movement, thermal fluctuation, and pressure pulsation or vibration.

Metal bellows are being preferred in traditional boilers, expansion joints, gas turbines, fuel gas duct systems, mechanical seals, thermal expansion tanks, engine exhaust systems, and steam turbines.

At the same time, it needs to be noted that metal bellows are not conducive to the food & beverage vertical, basically due to the fact that the convolutions of bellows result in bug traps, which is actually tough to clean at the time of operational processes. Future Market Insights has walked through these facts with future perspectives in its latest market study entitled ‘Metal Bellows Market’.

Key Takeaways from Metal Bellows Market

  • North America holds a significant market share and is expected to continue with the winning streak even in the forecast period. This could be attributed to an increasing usage of metal bellows by the aerospace and defense vertical.
  • Europe is expected to witness steadiness in the metal bellows market due to rising demand for welded bellows in marine and aerospace industries. Italy and Germany lead from the front. As per Germany Trade and Invest, the second biggest sector all across Germany is the machinery and equipment one.
  • The Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the metal bellows market. This could be reasoned with spike in demand for metal bellows in power & energy, military & defense, automotive, aerospace, and petrochemical vertical. Indian Automobile Manufacturers have mentioned that passenger vehicles’ trade did increase by ~2% in the year 2019.
