Global Ultrafine Tungsten Carbide Powder Market by Type (Standard Powder, Nano Powder, Others), By Application (Drill, Mold, Needle, Cutting Tool, Others) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

The Global Ultrafine Tungsten Carbide Powder Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2021 to 2028. The standard powder segment will account for the largest share of the market in terms of revenue during the forecast period and it will maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period owing to its wide applications in various industries such as surface coating, foundries, chemical processing plants, etc.

Ultrafine tungsten carbide powder is a type of solid that has been ground into an ultra-fine size. It can be used to make metal parts and tools for applications such as drilling, cutting, milling, grinding, or other machining operations. The material’s hardness makes it resistant to wear and corrosion when compared with traditional materials like copper or steel. It also has a high melting point, which makes it suitable for applications such as lasers.

Ultrafine tungsten carbide powder is used to make metal parts and tools in various industries including surface coating, foundries, chemical processing plants, etc. The material's hardness renders it resistant to wear and corrosion when compared with traditional materials like copper or steel. It also has a high melting point that makes it highly suitable for laser applications.

On the basis of Type, the global ultrafine tungsten carbide powder market is segmented into standard powder, nanopowder, and others.

Standard Powder:

The standard type of ultrafine tungsten carbide powder is the most commonly used and can be processed by various thermal treatment methods. It has a particle size range between 100 to 1000 nanometers with an average thickness of fewer than 20 nanometers.

The standard powder has more long-term applications in industries that require high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical stability at higher temperature levels such as titanium nitride hard coating for drill bits or production of cutting tools that are resistant to abrasion during use.

standard powders have excellent performance characteristics like low ignition energy and good mechanical strength when compared with other types of ultrafine tungsten carbide powders. They also provide better lubrication properties, electrical insulation properties, chemical stability, and thermal conductivity than others.

Industrial applications for standard powder are the manufacture of a wide range of cutting tools as well as other products that require hard coating like drill bits or high-temperature-resistant equipment in chemical plants.

Nanopowder:

Nanopowder is a type of ultrafine tungsten carbide powder that has an average particle size of 20 nanometers or less. Nanopowders have excellent hardness and lubrication properties, as well as superior mechanical toughness than other types of ultrafine tungsten carbides. They also exhibit better wear resistance and corrosion resistance when compared with others. Standard industrial applications for nano-powdered products are in cutting tools, high-temperature equipment used at chemical plants, etc., where their characteristics can be effectively exploited to provide the necessary performance benefits.

The burgeoning use of nanopowder is mainly attributed to its application in various fields like drilling bits, molding inserts/dies (including hot runner systems), injection moldings (both steel and plastics), and turning tools.

On the basis of Application, the global ultrafine tungsten carbide powder market is segmented into drill, mold, needle, cutting tools, and others.

Drill:

The ultrafine tungsten carbide powder is used in the drill bit as an abrasive to cut rock or other materials. The cutting edge of a drill, which is often made from metal (usual steel) has teeth on it that are sharp enough to penetrate into and remove pieces from the material being drilled through with rotational force applied by the operator of a power tool such as a hammer drilling machine.

Mold:

Ultrafine tungsten carbide powder is used in the mold to produce hard coatings that protect a metal surface from erosion and corrosion. They are usually made of ceramic, glass, or plastic material rather than being just metallic powders. These materials are often used because they have a low melting point so that the mold can be "welded" together easily.

Needle:

Tungsten carbide powder is used in the manufacture of various types of needles including hypodermic, syringe, and bone drilling. The tungsten carbide has a hardness comparable to that of diamonds which makes it one tough material for these applications. It also resists wearing under harsh conditions making it perfect for medical use.

Cutting Tools:

Tungsten carbide powder is one of the most commonly used tool materials in cutting tools. Tungsten carbide has high strength and hardness, so it can be widely used for saw blades, milling cutter knives, etc. The use of ultrafine tungsten carbide powder in the cutting tool is that it can reduce the temperature of the workpiece, thereby improving its quality. It also has a good performance on high-speed cutting and does not require preheating before cutting.

On the basis of Region, the global ultrafine tungsten carbide powder market is segmented into North America (U.S., Canada), Latin America (Mexico), Europe (Germany, France) Asia Pacific (Japan).

North America, the largest market for tungsten carbide powder is considering holding this position in the near future as well. In terms of revenue generation, North America accounted for over 50% share in 2018 with around $13 billion generated and expected to maintain its lead through 2028. The region has a highly developed manufacturing sector that includes drill bits & blades, cutting tools (saws), molding compounds, and others. In addition to this, the region also has a well-established presence of numerous key players in the market.

Europe is anticipated to grow at an impressive pace over the forecast period owing to the high demand for tungsten carbide powder from cutting tools and drill bits & blades sector. The region accounted for around $11 billion shares in 2018 with most prominent countries such as Germany, U.K., France, Russia accounting for a substantial contribution towards it.  The growth can be attributed to increasing investments being made into research activities within the country coupled with expanding manufacturing base due to growing infrastructure development programs across Europe.

The Asia Pacific was responsible for about 18% revenue share in terms of revenues generated through 2028 and is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period. The region is expected to be driven by demand from China, Japan, and India due to the increasing adoption of powders in various applications across these countries such as the cutting tools & blades sector.
