Metal Powder Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Production, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2020-2027

The global Metal Powder market size is expected to be worth around US$ 9.6 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Metal Powder market size was valued at US$ 5.6 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% during forecast period 2020 to 2027.

Growth Factors

Increasing demand for medical products, constant automotive production, and high consumer potential in Southeast Asian countries, India, and China are anticipated to drive the demand for finished parts manufactured using metal powder.

The press and sinter technology segment dominated the market with a volume share of over 93.0% in 2019. Press and sinter, also commonly known as sintering, is a widely adopted technology in the automotive sector. Numerous companies have now started using sintered gears in transmission instead of forged gears. As per the European Union, forged gears are one of the key reasons behind emissions from vehicles. This has increased the penetration of sintered gears in automotive. It has been also found that mass balancer produced using a sintering process helps to reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve efficiency.

Report Highlights

Ferrous was the largest segment in 2019 and accounted for a volume share of over 88.0% in 2019. The ferrous segment includes metal powders consisting of all types of steel and their alloys, iron, and alloying elements, such as nickel, molybdenum, and chromium. Steel is one of the cheapest forms of metal in additive manufacturing. It can also be used in a mixture with other metals, such as bronze.

The emerging interest in titanium implants in the healthcare industry is expected to support the segment growth. Companies such as Novax DMA and CEIT Biomedical Engineering have ventured into the manufacturing of titanium-based medical implants to address deformations in the human skull, bones, and vertebrae.

Press and sinter was the largest technology segment with a volume share of over 92.0% in 2019. Press and sinter is a conventional powder metallurgy process. It is economic and produces near-net-shape components. It involves thermal treatment or compaction at a temperature lower than the melting point of metal to produce a green compact.

Metal injection molding (MIM) has been gaining significant importance in the components manufacturing industry for the last 20 years. Similar to press and sinter, this process relies on the shaping and sintering of metal particles. This method can manufacture a high volume of complex-shaped parts with high manufacturing precision. The MIM process includes various steps, such as mixing or preparation of feedstock, injection molding, binder removal, and sintering.

The automotive segment accounted for the largest volume share of 70.0% in 2019. The automotive industry is one of the leading consumers of metal powder, wherein various parts are manufactured using press and sinter, additive manufacturing (AM), hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and metal injection molding (MIM) processes. Press and sinter process dominates the automotive application segment in terms of auto parts manufacturing. However, other processes such as AM, HIP, and MIM are observing faster penetration compared to the press and sinter.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the automotive industry by creating disruptions in high volume manufacturing in Europe, auto parts exports in China, and closure of assembly lines in India and the U.S. In terms of demand, manufacturers were affected by the shutdown of manufacturing activities and the limited supply of vehicle parts. In terms of supply, a drop in vehicle sales and the lowering of working capital have been observed. For instance, as per the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), passenger vehicle sales in India observed a decline of 78.6% from April to June 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

The Asia Pacific accounted for the largest volume share of 33.5% in 2019. The region witnessed the highest demand for metal powder in 2019, primarily from the automotive and aerospace industries. The presence of small- and medium-sized component manufacturers for press and sinter products and growing demand for metal powder for additive manufacturing are expected to drive the market in the region.

In terms of revenue, North America is projected to expand at a growth rate of 6.0% from 2020 to 2027. The increasing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles has primarily decreased the demand for various sintered parts in transmissions and engines in the region. However, powder forging technology is projected to provide lucrative opportunities for market vendors in the coming years. 

In March 2020, iron powder shipments witnessed a y-o-y decline of 19.1% in North America. As per the local government regulations, numerous companies observed temporary closure of the non-essential businesses in the first half of 2020.
