Metal Powder Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Material Type (Ferrous Metals and Non-Ferrous Metals), Production Method, Technology, Application and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Metal Powder Market is accounted for $8.1 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $13.1 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period. Metal powders are finely ground particles of metallic substances. It's produced through various methods like atomization, chemical reduction, or grinding. These powders possess unique properties, making them valuable in various industries. They're used in powder metallurgy processes like pressing, sintering, and heat treatment to create intricate components with high strength, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy. Additionally, metal powders are crucial in additive manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, where layers of metal powder are selectively fused to fabricate complex shapes with precision. Industries like aerospace, automotive, healthcare and electronics rely on metal powders for manufacturing components ranging from engine parts to medical implants. Their versatility, coupled with advancements in processing technologies, continues to expand their applications, driving innovation across multiple sectors.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rising demand from the automotive industry
The automotive industry is constantly exploring new applications for metal powder. Metal powder is being used in engine components for better performance and weight reduction, complex transmission parts due to its design flexibility, and even body panels for enhanced aesthetics and safety. Moreover manufacturers are developing new metal powder formulations with improved properties like higher strength, better flow characteristics, and compatibility with 3D printing techniques. This fosters a positive cycle where innovation is driven by demand.
Restraint:
Health and safety concerns
Stringent safety regulations and protocols to mitigate health risks add to the overall production cost of metal powders. Proper ventilation systems, protective gear for workers, and waste disposal procedures all require investment, making metal powders less price-competitive compared to traditional materials and the fear of potential health risks and liability issues can act as a deterrent, especially for smaller companies with limited resources for implementing robust safety measures hampering the market growth.
Opportunity:
Increasing demand for electrical & electronics products
The increasing demand for electrical and electronics products has a significant impact on the metal powder market. These products rely on a wide range of metal components, many of which are manufactured using metal powders. As the demand for electrical and electronics products rises, so does the need for high-performance materials that offer properties like conductivity, thermal resistance, and durability. Additionally, the trend towards miniaturization and the production of lighter, more energy-efficient electronics further fuels the demand for specialized metal powders.
Threat:
Technical challenges
Metal AM involves melting metal powder layer by layer to build the desired object. However, eliminating all porosity (air gaps) within the printed part remains a challenge. Excess porosity can weaken the final product and compromise its structural integrity. Optimizing printing parameters and powder characteristics is crucial for achieving dense parts with minimal porosity. Thus inconsistencies in powder quality can lead to failed prints, wasted materials, and difficulty achieving desired product specifications.
Covid-19 Impact
Companies operating in the market experienced an irregular demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The companies experienced a slight increase in demand for applications such as industrial services, operations, and repairs. Automotive companies were also facing closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies were either closing their plants or lowering their production capacity due to staff shortages and lack of raw materials. The demand for automobiles declined as consumers focused on having essential services and products. Key automotive manufacturers have lowered their production rates, which reduced their market share in the global market.
The ferrous metals segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The ferrous metals is expected to be the largest during the forecast period because the ferrous metal type includes iron and steel. They find applications in a variety of products such as dental restoration, oil-less bearings, automotive transmission gears, orthopedic implants, and aircraft brake pads. Ferrous metal offers better durability, tensile strength, lower cost, and broad flexibility, which is expected to boost the market growth.
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Powdered iron is utilized in the automotive sector for processes such as particle metallurgy, hot isostatic pressing, sintering, and injection molding. Increasing vehicle production, rising use of technology in vehicles, and shifting focus to lighter vehicles are key attributes that determine the market growth. Powdered metal is used in many manufacturing techniques to create metal parts. With this product, unlike traditional machining, there is no waste and there is a flexibility to design a wide variety of metal and alloy parts. Such favorable properties are expected to promote the growth of the segment.
Region with largest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to demand for different sintered parts in transmissions and engines have been reduced as a result of the increasing popularity of vehicles that are both energy-efficient and hybrids. Nevertheless, the market vendors are expected to have lucrative opportunities over the next few years through powder forging technology. According to the Federation of Metal Powder Industries, almost 30% of automotive coupling rods are produced through powder forging processes worldwide.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period as China, Japan, India, and South Korea are driving the growth of the market in the region. This is largely due to China being a manufacturing center for products covering automotive OEMs to electronic products. In Asia Pacific, China has the largest share in global powdered metal production due to the presence of various medium & small-sized manufacturers. Increasing aircraft delivery and ordering facilities due to the demand for new generation aircraft will boost regional demand.
