Metal Powder Market Size To Reach $ 10.18 Billion By 2030

Metal Powder Market Growth & Trends

The global metal powder market size is anticipated to reach USD 10.18 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2024 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growth of the aerospace & defense market is anticipated to propel the demand for products across the forecast period.

A wide range of metals, including magnesium, aluminum, titanium, and nickel, are used in the aerospace industry. These materials are ideal for lighter structural elements due to their high strength to weight ratio. Thus, it is widely used in the production of aircraft and spacecraft components, like engines, turbines, heat exchangers, rocket snores, or structural elements.

Based on technology, the press & sinter held the largest revenue share of the market in 2023. Due to cost-effective nature of this technology, it is widely used in the market. Also, it is capable of manufacturing relatively complex designs/components. Rising demand for automotive parts is expected to drive growth of this segment.

Based on material, ferrous-based is anticipated to register a growth rate of 6.4%, in terms of revenue, over the forecast period. Ferrous-based products have become a major component of tools, cars, electrical appliances, firearms, and buildings due to their reduced cost and strong tensile properties. It is, therefore, expected that the segment will continue to have a dominant position over the forecast period.

Based on region, North America is anticipated to register a growth rate of 6.5% in terms of revenue over the forecast period. The penetration of AM and MIM in the sectors of aerospace & defense, medical research, and automotive can be attributed to a growing demand for metal powders in North America.

The market witnesses intense competition owing to the growing demand for metal powder. Key players are using mergers and acquisitions activity across the globe. For instance, in November 2023, 6K Additive acquired Global Metal Powder company. This acquisition is expected to help the company in expansion of refractory powder production and sustainable product development.
