South Korea is among the top 10 producers of vehicle. Automotive sector in the country is not performing well for the last 4 years. The key reasons behind the sluggish growth of the sector are poor R&D spending compared to developed countries and a lack of professionals in the sector.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has further affected automotive sales and production in the country. For instance, a South Korean manufacturer, Hyundai reported a 26% decline in automotive sales in the first five months of 2020 compared to the same period in the previous year. This is expected to negatively impact the demand for metal powders in the short term.

In the long run, the demand for metal powders in South Korea is projected to grow on account of the expansion of additive manufacturing in aerospace, healthcare, oil & gas, and other industrial applications.
