Market Introduction
The North American region consists of developed economies, including the U.S. and Canada, as well as Mexico, as a developing nation. In this region, the United States is a major market for atomizing metal powder, followed by Canada and Mexico. The atomizing metal powder market in the region is anticipated to be driven by the rising demand from end-use sectors and technological advancements. Besides, the growth of economy plays a vital role in bolstering the demand for atomizing metal powder in the North American market. The growing demand for powder metallurgy-produced components is also expected to drive the growth of the atomizing metal powder market. Also, the rising demand for atomizing metal powder from various end-use industries, especially the automotive, electronics, aerospace & defense sector is further predicted to drive the market growth. For instance, Kymera International offers air atomized copper powder which finds applications such as friction for brake pads in automobiles, bi-metallic bearings for automotive, brazing, porous metal filtration, PM parts, thermal spray coatings, synthetic industrial diamond manufacturing, and others. Growing use of powder metallurgy in the automotive industry and rising use of atomizing metal powder in surface coating process are the major factor driving the growth of the North America atomizing metal powder market.
North America, especially the US, has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The significant disruption in manufacturing, along with raw material sourcing, has had a negative impact on the demand for atomizing metal powder in the region. The market for atomizing metal powder has been impacted in the region due to distortion in the supply of raw materials and limited operational efficiencies. This has negatively impacted various industries especially, the powder metallurgy industry, as the automotive industry, the primary consumer of powder metallurgy parts, came to a standstill. The powder metallurgy industry in North America has experienced a decline in the production and sales of metal powders, equipment, and parts. Most of the iron powder shipped in the region is used for engine and light trucks parts. However, the market is reviving on account of the government's significant measures, such as vaccination drives. With the state of economic recovery, several industrial sectors are strategically planning to invest in advanced products to maximize revenue. The companies providing equipment for sintering and brazing have experienced a surge in demand for standardized equipment as more mid-sized companies recover from pandemic-related disruptions. Many players are resuming pre-COVID investment plans as businesses gain confidence in stabilizing economies and anticipate increased demand. This is expected to provide the impetus for market growth.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The North America atomizing metal powder market is expected to grow from US$ 102.12 million in 2021 to US$ 131.99 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2021 to 2028. Additive manufacturing is one of the most important application fields of atomizing metal powders.
