The iron powder industry is poised for robust growth, projected to register a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period, reaching a market valuation of approximately USD 10,265.75 million by 2032. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of iron powder in additive manufacturing and its widespread application in the automotive industry. Iron powder is extensively used in producing high-performance components and for enhancing the efficiency and durability of automotive parts. Furthermore, advancements in technology and the demand for lightweight, fuel-efficient vehicles are further propelling market expansion, positioning iron powder as a key material in automotive and industrial manufacturing processes.
Iron powder’s particle size does vary from 20 to 200 micrometer. The powder is available at the commercial level in 3 kinds – atomized powder, reduced iron powder, and electrolyte iron powder. Electrolyte iron powder holds the largest market share due to stability, purity, and monetary advantage. It’s actually at par with traditional iron salts as well as chelates used for fortification of food and water.
The other applications include soft magnets and welding in electromagnetics, wherein both – DC and ac are addressed. Iron powder does play an important role with respect to recycling of the industrial chemicals. As such, it is used in pharmaceutical and steel plants. Intake of iron is prescribed for those who are anemic. Regular intake of iron also helps in boosting the immunity.
Particle metallurgy alone accounts for majority of revenue, especially in the automobile sector. Iron powder finds its way as a filler in the friction materials-oriented applications like automotive OEMs and aftermarket brake pads with clutches. They are used in production of sintered parts; which cater to engines and transmissions.
At the same time, the fact that excessive consumption of iron powder is associated with chronic diseases can’t be ignored. An out-of-proportion consumption could result in diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or nausea. It has also been found that iron does accumulate in organs; thereby resulting in fatal damage to liver and brain. These factors could restrain the iron powder market in the near future.
Future Market Insights has entailed these facts with future prospects in its latest market study entitled ‘Iron Powder Market’. Its team of analysts and consultants has its bottom-up approach with 360-degree view regarding primary, secondary, and tertiary modes of research.
“With iron powder being increasingly used for separation and filtration of industrial appliances, in air purifiers, deodorizers, and likewise, the global iron powder market is likely to grow at a remarkable rate in the near future”, says an analyst from Future Market Insights.
Key Takeaways from the Iron Powder Market
