According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Iron Powder Market is accounted for $6.78 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $11.02 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. The iron powder market refers to the global industry involved in the production, distribution, and utilization of iron powder, which is a finely divided form of elemental iron. This versatile material is derived through processes such as reduction of iron oxide, atomization of molten iron, or electrolysis. It serves as a myriad of essential purposes across diverse industries, making it a versatile material in the global market. In the field of magnetic materials, iron powder is employed in the creation of magnets and magnetic products.
According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (French: Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles) (OICA), China is the largest producer of automobiles. The country alone produced 2,60,82,220 units of vehicles in 2021.
Rise in electric vehicles
As the automotive sector undergoes a paradigm shift towards sustainable and electric mobility, the demand for iron powder has surged. Iron powder plays a vital role in the production of components for electric motor systems, including electric motors and electromagnetic cores. Additionally, with EVs becoming increasingly popular globally due to environmental concerns and government initiatives promoting clean energy, the need for efficient and high-performance materials in the manufacturing of electric vehicle components, such as soft magnetic components made from iron powder, has intensified.
Volatility in raw material prices
Iron powder production relies heavily on raw materials such as iron ore, and fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials can directly impact production costs. The iron ore is subject to various factors, including supply-demand dynamics, geopolitical events, and macroeconomic conditions, all of which contribute to price volatility. Sudden spikes or drops in iron ore prices can disrupt the cost structure for iron powder manufacturers, leading to uncertain profit margins and increased financial risks. However, managing these price fluctuations becomes crucial for market participants to ensure stable and competitive pricing of iron powder.
Growing construction activities and infrastructure development
Iron powder plays a pivotal role in the construction sector, particularly in the development of advanced materials with enhanced structural properties.
