The rising demand from end-use industries, such as construction and automotive, is expected to be the key driver. Aluminum powder has properties, such as light weight and high thermal conductivity, which make it suitable for applications in these industries. It is extensively used in the production of aluminum paste, aluminum wire, and aluminum foil. Additionally, increasing applications of 3D printing which uses aluminum powder as a prominent raw material will further augment the market growth. However, the availability of substitutes such as copper and zinc powders may hamper the market growth to some extent during the forecast period.

Drivers of the Market:

Expanding automotive industry

The global automotive industry has been undergoing steady expansion in recent years with increased vehicle production worldwide. As vehicle manufacturing grows, so does the demand for aluminum powder in this sector. Aluminum powder finds numerous applications in automotive manufacturing due to its lightweight yet durable properties. It is used as a raw material for producing aluminum components such as engine parts, wheels, transmission casings, and other structural elements in vehicles. The emphasis on fuel efficiency and emission reduction in modern automobiles has further increased the use of aluminum over heavier metals like iron. As automakers continue to focus on manufacturing lighter vehicles with improved mileage, the incorporation of aluminum powders in automotive production is expected to rise substantially.

Another factor aiding the automotive industry's growth is rising incomes in developing economies. Countries like India, Indonesia, Brazil, and others are witnessing a growing middle class population with increased disposable incomes. This has boosted the sales of passenger vehicles in these markets which were previously dominated by two-wheelers. The expansion of automotive sectors in emerging economies along with existing hubs like North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific indicates a steady rise in demand for aluminum powder from this application segment. Research also shows automakers moving more towards aluminum intensive vehicle platforms, which would strengthen the aluminum powder consumption over the coming years. Powder metallurgy technologies are also enabling complex die-cast parts using aluminum alloys, finding new avenues in the evolving automotive sector.
