Country-wise Insights

Why Should Tungsten Carbide Powder Suppliers Focus on China?

“High Construction & Mining Activity in China”

China is a highly lucrative market for tungsten carbide powder manufacturers owing to increasing investments in infrastructure development and favorable government policies. In China, the demand for tungsten carbide powder is anticipated to rise at a CAGR of 6.6% throughout the forecast period and is projected to account for a revenue total of US$ 4.46 billion by 2032.

Owing to high industrial activity demand for ready-to-press tungsten carbide powder, tungsten titanium carbide powder, tungsten carbide hard facing powder, corrosion-resistant ready-to-press tungsten carbide powder is expected to see a steady increase through 2032 in China.

However, the oversupply of tungsten carbide powder in some parts of China and the slowdown of manufacturing activities in the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to adversely affect market growth.

Category-wise Insights

Which End-use Sectors Drive Most Demand for Tungsten Carbide Powder?

“Highest Demand for Tungsten Carbide Powder from Construction & Mining Sectors”

The mining and construction segment is expected to account for a major revenue share in the global tungsten carbide powder market. This segment is expected to rise at a CAGR of 7.3% over the forecast period and will account for a net revenue total of US$ 9.78 billion by the end of 2032.

Increasing investments in infrastructure development by governments across the world and rising urbanization are expected to bolster the growth of this segment as far as tungsten carbide powder consumption is concerned, and also drive demand for tungsten carbide band saw blades in parallel.

Demand for tungsten carbide thermal spray powder, tungsten titanium carbide powder, spherical tungsten carbide powder, and tungsten carbide welding powder is expected to be high from the mining and construction end-use segment.

Did COVID-19 Slow Down Sales of Tungsten Carbide Powder?

The unprecedented outbreak of coronavirus infections in 2020 resulted in a global pandemic situation and caused multiple markets to topple under adverse conditions. Lockdowns were imposed to control the spread of infections and these lockdown restrictions resulted in the closure of multiple manufacturing facilities which in turn disrupted the tungsten carbide market.

A decline in construction activity resulted in the low usage of tungsten carbide powder in the construction industry, and hence, had a negative impact on the overall growth trend of the market. Demand for tungsten carbide powder in the mining industry also took a hit and further led to decreased demand for tungsten carbide powder.

Tungsten carbide powder manufacturers are expected to resort to various strategies to boost their business potential in the post-pandemic world. The tungsten carbide powder market is expected to evolve at a steady pace in the post-pandemic era as restrictions are lifted and the world returns to normal.

Competitive Landscape

Tungsten carbide powder manufacturers are deploying various organic and inorganic strategies to increase their market presence on a global scale, especially after the setback that the COVID-19 pandemic provided.

The tungsten carbide powder market is partially fragmented in nature and is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for new entrants as well as established market players over the years ahead.
