The global hafnium market size reached 78.8 Tons in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 113.7 Tons by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6% during 2023-2028.
Hafnium (Hf) is a silvery gray, lustrous, tetravalent transition metal that chemically resembles zirconium and is found in zirconium minerals. It is characterized by stability at room temperature, spontaneous combustion in air, and the ability to absorb hydrogen at high temperatures. The hafnium metal is an ideal neutron absorber due to its large cross-section and excellent welding and processing properties. It is also resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. Hafnium improves the creep ductility and rupture lifetime of nickel-based superalloys and high temperature alloys when used in relatively small amounts. The oxide of hafnium is used to fabricate integrated circuits at shorter feature sizes in semiconductor fabrication processes as well as filaments and electrodes. Hafnium is combined with niobium, titanium, or tungsten in super alloys to be used across the aerospace and nuclear sectors.
Hafnium Market Trends:
The market is majorly driven by the escalating demand for superalloys for numerous applications in the aerospace industry. This can be attributed to the continual innovations and technological breakthroughs in the aerospace manufacturing processes. Also, the rapid product utilization in the production of gas turbines, nuclear reactors, pressurized water reactors, and semiconductors is providing an impetus to the market. In addition to this, the rising adoption of hafnium oxide in optical coatings is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the major market players. The market is further propelled by extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players. Apart from this, favorable government incentives and policies promoting hafnium applications are creating a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market growth include the effective allocation of resources, rapid industrialization, inflating disposable income levels and fierce competition among major market players to expand their geographical presence.
