The world
powder metallurgy market stands enthused by the numerous technological improvements, and breakthroughs, which have helped spruce up demand for P/M components in new industrial applications. The application possibilities of powder metallurgy are fast expanding beyond the traditional automotive industry, and into diverse fields such as communication technology, medical diagnostics, and metrology.
With plastics being increasingly used as substitutes for tiny P/M gears and components, use of powder metallurgy is gradually shifting towards the manufacture of sophisticated engineered parts, which require increased strength and above average density. A direct fallout of the trend is the rising demand for high-density powdered metals. The blistering pace of developments in computers and electronic components is expected to lead to a parallel rise in demand for titanium-base and aluminum-base powder metallurgy. The future is expected to witness increased interest in the promised potential of nanopowders.
These and other market data and trends are presented in "Powder Metallurgy: Global Market Opportunities" by BizAcumen LLC. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
