Market Overview (2017-2027)
Tungsten metals are in high demand due to their widespread use in manufacturing processes such as welding, coatings, and cutting tools, among others. Tungsten carbide is a common cutting tool used in the manufacturing industry. Leading manufacturers’ growing efforts in developing high precision cutting tools for improved accuracy and less scrap during production have contributed to market growth. During the projected period, demand for recycled tungsten material is expected to rise due to increased recycling activities around the world, as well as increased demand for insert coating in the automotive and electronics sectors. Furthermore, higher government regulations on exports and mining are expected to boost demand for recycled tungsten during the projection period. Furthermore, the increased need for high-performance refractories will increase tungsten consumption, which would boost market expansion.
Industry Definition and Major Segments
Metals that are particularly heat and wear resistant are known as refractory metals. These are typically used in construction tasks. These metals’ principal characteristics include melting temperatures that exceed 20000°C/3632°F. These metals have a very high density and corrosion resistance in their pure state. Furthermore, refractory metals are used as alloying elements in steel, heat resistant alloys, stainless steel, and superalloys to preserve the metal against corrosion.
On the basis of metal type, the market is segmented into:
• Molybdenum Metal
• Tungsten Metal
• Niobium Metal
• Tantalum Metal
• Rhenium Metal
• Others
On the basis of application, the market is divided into:
• Steel Industry
• Electrical and Electronics
• Power Generation
• Chemical
• Medical Industry
• Others
On the basis of region, the market is segmented into:
• North America
• Europe
• Asia
• Latin America
• Middle East and Africa
