The global aluminium powder market size was valued at USD 1.76 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 1.84 billion in 2023 to USD 2.70 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the aluminium powder market with a market share of 47.16% in 2022. Moreover, the aluminium powder market size in the U.S. is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 537.56 million by 2032, driven by the rapid expansion of the industrial & automotive industries. 


Aluminium powder is a fine granular and crushed aluminium product. Spraying the molten aluminium at high speed to yield a dense powder is one of the popular techniques to obtain this powder. Two types of powders can be formed based on the type of atomizing gas used to burst the molten aluminium. Another way of processing the powder is dry magnetic stirring and hammering. The former is used for the production of granular and nodular powder, and the latter for the production of crusted and flattened powder.


The global market is experiencing a significant growth due to the increase in demand for brick production in the construction industry. The product is also a favored metal powder in fast prototyping and powder metallurgy. It is also a main ingredient in the production of solar cells, which drives the growth of the global market.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Disruptions in the Supply Chain Hampered Market Growth Amid COVID-19  


During the COVID-19 pandemic, extended lockdowns slowed down production in key industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace & defense, electronics, industrial machinery, and consumer appliances across all regions of the world, resulted in decreased product demand. Moreover, the production output of the major industries was significantly affected due to the disruption in supply chains. However, the market is projected to recover slowly in the upcoming years due to the mitigation strategies and business continuity plans adopted by the leading manufacturers and suppliers and government-backed initiatives to recover the economy.

DRIVING FACTORS


Consistently Rising Product Demand from Automotive and Aerospace & Defense Industries to Propel Market Growth


Increasing demand for product from powder metallurgy for manufacturing of parts or components used in several industries is anticipated to be the game changer for the global market. In recent years, the automotive sector has witnessed a paradigm shift, with stakeholders bidding high on the electric future. Moreover, the properties of the powder, including lightweight, high strength, malleability, flexibility, conductivity, and reflectivity, are pushing its demand from the rapidly growing automotive industry.


Moreover, the product is a major component in the manufacturing of microchips, capacitors, and other electronic equipment owing to its superior thermal resistance, high boiling, and melting point. The product is also widely used for heat sink insulation. This, in turn, has resulted in increased demand from electronics and semiconductors industries, which is anticipated to rise further during the forecast period owing to rising digitalization across the globe, significantly propelling the growth of the market.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Stringent Environmental Regulations coupled with High Cost May Limit the Market Growth


The implementation of stringent environmental regulations by governments and private associations is expected to have a negative effect on the market growth in the coming years. The increasing environmental issues and rising expectations from the public toward reducing pollution levels have forced several countries to introduce a new set of rules and regulations.


Manufacturing plants have been asked to meet new emission standards, which have increased the cost of the product. Furthermore, aluminium is known to have detrimental effects on human beings. Its exposure can have effects such as headaches, rashes, asthma, and insomnia. The product can ignite or explode, thereby posing workplace hazards, and its inhalation can cause pulmonary fibrosis.


Moreover, the availability of substitutes in different industries, including aerospace & defense, automotive, and certain industrial applications, may limit the aluminium powder market growth. 


SEGMENTATION


By Type Analysis


Atomized Aluminium Powder Segment to Dominate Owing to Superior Characteristics


Based on type, the market is segmented into atomized aluminium powder and flake aluminium powder.


The atomized aluminium powder segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Along with the general shape, metal chemistry (alloy) and particle size distribution are the primary product characteristics that distinguish atomized aluminium products. In the industry, atomized powder is a common material used in pigment production, mining and drilling explosives, rocket propulsion, and other applications.  


The flake aluminium powder segment is expected to show considerable growth during the forecast period. The wet milling process makes aluminium flake powders, which are dried with a vacuum mechanism that guarantees safety for further process. Moreover, aluminium flakes can oxidize in a controlled environment during drying. They are great for technical applications such as civil explosives and autoclaved aerated concrete, where the choice of lubricant and additives during the milling process gives the final product with different leafing or non-leafing characteristics. The finished results for shade applications are typically utilized in powder coatings, printing inks, material coatings, and others.
