Global Cold Heading Machine Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Cold Heading Machine market size is predicted to grow from US$ 762 million in 2025 to US$ 904 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2026 to 2032.

Cold heading machine is a product that forges steel billets into a certain shape at room temperature. With the continuous development and progress of production technology, fully automatic cold heading machines have been widely used in the manufacture of automobiles and mechanical parts. The equipment fully automates the batch production of double-click whole-die standard parts such as nuts and nuts. It feeds from rollers, cuts off in sequence, presses corners and punches to form, and is completed in one machine, eliminating the time-consuming and expensive annealing process. Cold heading machine is a kind of steel bar forging machine that uses manpower as the original power to press the head of the steel bar into the required shape. Cold heading machine belongs to the category of wire forming automatic machines in stamping machinery. It is a high-efficiency and automated forging machine. It mainly pumps wire into the machine and forms it into screws inside the machine. It mainly produces bolts, pins, rollers and other multi-station screw standard parts, as well as complex cold-formed parts and automotive parts such as bevel gear shafts, ball pins, spark plugs, etc. It is a machine that realizes multi-station processes with little or no cutting.

The key players of Cold Heading Machine include Siijn Intelligent Forming Machinery, Chun zu and Yeswin Machinery, etc. The top three players hold a share over 28%. China is the largest market, and has a share about 32%. In terms of product type, 4-5 Forging Station is the largest segment, occupied for a share of about 42%. And in terms of application, Automotive Field has a share about 34%.
