Hardware Global Market Report 2024

The hardware market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $118.29 billion in 2023 to $126.52 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to robust economic growth in emerging markets, swift advancement in the automotive industry, an increase in construction activity, and the ongoing development of infrastructure.

The hardware market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $160.38 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The anticipated expansion in the forecast period can be ascribed to accelerated urbanization, growing government support, increased metal consumption by the aerospace sector, and the ongoing evolution of the automotive industry. Notable trends expected in the forecast period encompass the introduction of metal additives for manufacturing products, an emphasis on innovative new designs, strategic collaborations and acquisitions among market players, a focus on net-zero carbon products, and the utilization of recycled metals.

The forecast period is expected to see an increase in metal consumption by the aerospace sector, thereby propelling the hardware manufacturing market. This surge is primarily driven by the growing demand for commercial airplanes due to the rise in air travel. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported approximately 3.8 billion air travelers, a number projected to reach 7.2 billion by 2035. Boeing estimates a demand for around 42,730 new jets valued at $6.3 trillion over the next two decades to accommodate the increasing passenger traffic and upcoming retirements of airplanes. This heightened demand, especially for aluminum, is anticipated to drive the hardware manufacturing market in the forecast period.

Geopolitical tensions are expected to have a negative impact on the hardware manufacturing market during the forecast period. Consequences of such tensions include sanctions on Russia, trade protectionism, and increased military tensions in the Middle East. In March 2022, the U.S. Department of State and The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) intensified pressure on Russia by imposing sanctions on numerous Russian elites and their family members. These sanctions involved identifying certain properties of these individuals as blocked and targeting Russian intelligence-directed disinformation outlets. This action followed OFAC's sanctions in January 2022, which identified Russian agents involved in activities attempting to destabilize the Ukrainian government. The situation builds upon sanctions imposed in April 2021 for Russian-backed efforts to influence U.S. elections.

Major companies in the hardware market are introducing new products, such as specialty hardware items, to cater to broader customer bases, drive increased sales, and boost overall revenue.

Major companies in the hardware market are also launching new products, including customizable hardware finishes, to expand their customer reach, drive more sales, and enhance revenue. Customizable hardware finishes involve the ability to personalize the surface appearance of hardware products, such as metal fixtures or fasteners, to align with specific aesthetic or functional requirements for a particular project or application. In January 2023, Cafe Appliances, a U.S.-based appliance provider, introduced two new hardware finishes, Brushed Brass and Flat Black. These finishes enable customers to achieve a more personalized design look in their kitchens. The Brushed Brass finish is vibrant and striking, adding a rich accent to appliances, while the Flat Black finish is chic and enticing, enhancing kitchens with a strong sense of style. This product stands out by delivering fresh kitchen accessories that follow the latest design trends while bringing refinement and flair to homes.
