Metal Powder Market Analysis
The Global Metal Powder Market is projected to register a CAGR of above 4% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the metal powder market because of quarantined workforces, widespread shutdown of business, and disrupted supply chain. During the pandemic, many factories responsible for metal production such as iron, aluminum, bronze, and nickel for the metal powder industry were shut down. The closure of these manufacturing plants has dampened the sales of metal powder. The sectors like automobile, aerospace, and chemicals were on temporary hold. In the automobile industry, metal powder is used to produce complex parts such as steering and transmission components, braking & fuel systems & engine components. Therefore, the growth of the metal powder sector has been severely affected by dwindling sales of vehicles due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Over the short term, rising demand for lightweight parts in automotive and aerospace industry, increasing of different of 3D-printing technologies, and increasing use of electronic devices are some of the driving factors which are stimulating the market demand.
- Environmental implications of using metal powder are hindering the market's growth.
- However, increasing developments in medical industries as bridges, partials, and copings are fabricated from metal powders in the dental field is likely to create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
- Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Metal Powder Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Metal Powder Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Usage in the Transportation Industry
- Metal powder is the fastest-growing product in the automobile industry. The properties of metal powder help to improve the bulk properties of complex components such as reactivity, flow ability, compressibility, porosity, and hardenability.
- The global total production of vehicles was around 7,76,21,582 in 2020, and it increased to 8,01,45,988 in 2021. Also, in terms of revenue, the global automobile was generated about USD 2.7 trillion in 2021. It is projected that the market will grow to some USD 2.8 trillion in 2022.
- On average across all geographical regions, around 80% of all metal powder structural components are produced for automotive applications. The metal powder finds application in various automobile parts such as in oil pumps particularly gears, shock absorbers (piston rod guides, piston valves, end valves), Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), Exhaust systems (flanges, oxygen sensor bosses), Chassis components, Variable Valve Timing systems, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems, and Turbochargers
- Automobile manufacturers prefer iron powder for making brake pads and magnetic products to lower the brake weight, minimize the noise, and reduce material usage. The other products which are produced from metal powders are pulleys, thrust and backup washers, differential gear sets, helical gears, bevel gears, planetary gears, sprockets, output pulleys, fuel system flanges, exhaust flanges, access covers, spacers, racks, and many others. China is the leading exporter of automotive components with annual vehicle production accounted for over 30% of worldwide vehicle production. This enhanced the growth of automobile industry which has stimulated the market demand for metal powder.
