Global Aluminium Powder Market

The market has experienced a stable growth in recent years. The factors which have contributed in influencing the market growth are the chemical properties of aluminium powder, and its applications across several sectors, such as automotive, industrial coatings, paint & chemicals, etc.

The latest report by IMARC Group titled, “Aluminium Powder Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, finds that the global aluminium powder market reached a volume of nearly 602,800 Tons in 2017, growing at a CAGR of more than 2% during 2010-2017. Aluminium powder is obtained by finely grinding aluminium metal. It is an odourless substance which is silvery white in colour and light in weight. It is available in two types – atomised aluminium powder and aluminium flake powder. Atomised aluminium powder is spherical in particle shape, while aluminium flake powder, which is produced by either mechanical stamping or ball milling, is in the form of flattened platelets.

Highlights of the global aluminium powder market:

• The use of aluminium powder in explosives is the biggest factor driving the growth of the market. 
• North America represents the largest market for aluminium powder, accounting for the majority of the share.
• The market is expected to reach a volume of around 667,000 Tons by 2023. 

Aluminium powder is non-toxic in nature but is a highly reactive flammable material. It releases flammable hydrogen gas when it comes in contact with water, strong acids and bases, and alcohols. Due to this, it is used in explosives, particularly for military applications. Moreover, it is combined with oxygen and is used for rocket launching in the aerospace industry. As it reacts with water to produce hydrogen, aluminium powder can also be used to make ‘lightweight’ concrete. Some of the other applications of aluminium powder include the manufacturing of paints, reflective roof coating, printing inks, cosmetic colorant, etc. Further, the market is further expected to reach a volume of around 667,000 Tons by 2023. 

The market is segmented on the basis of major end-uses of aluminium powder, which include industrial, automotive, industrial coatings, and paint & chemicals. An evaluation of the market on a regional basis is given, with Europe, North America, South America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East and Africa being the major markets.
