Nickel Powder Market Analysis:

The nickel powder market is driven by the increasing demand in battery production for electric vehicles (EVs), advancements in electronics, and its extensive use in 3D printing. The aerospace and automotive industries also contribute to market growth due to nickel powder's high strength and corrosion resistance properties. For instance, in June 2023, Epsilon Advanced Materials, an Indian material company, announced a $650 million investment to Strengthen EV Battery Industry in the United States. Epsilon Advanced Material becomes the first & largest Indian company to invest in the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market. Additionally, the rise in sustainable energy solutions and the need for high-performance materials in various industrial applications further propel the demand for nickel powder, ensuring robust market expansion.

Nickel Powder Market Trends:

Rising Demand in Electric Vehicle Batteries

The surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption is a major trend driving the nickel powder market. Nickel powder is a critical component in lithium-ion batteries, which are essential for EVs due to their high energy density and long life. For instance, as per the Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), the total sales of electric two-wheeler (E2W) in India, including high-speed (HS) and low-speed, surged 132% to 2,33,971 units during January 2021 to December 2021 period, as compared to 1,00,736 units sold in the corresponding year 2020. As governments worldwide push for greener transportation solutions and automotive manufacturers increase EV production, the demand for nickel powder continues to rise. This trend is further bolstered by advancements in battery technology aimed at enhancing performance and efficiency.

Growth in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing are rapidly evolving technologies that heavily utilize nickel powder for creating high-strength, corrosion-resistant components. Industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices are increasingly adopting 3D printing for its ability to produce complex, customized parts with precision. The growth in these industries fuels the demand for nickel powder, as it is a preferred material for its superior mechanical properties and adaptability in advanced manufacturing processes. This trend signifies a shift towards innovative production methods, driving market expansion. For instance, in June 2022, Tekna Holding ASA, a leading provider of advanced materials, signed a long-term supply agreement with Marle Tangible, a global medical device manufacturer to produce advanced powders for sectors like energy storage, printed electronics, and additive manufacturing. The company has also leased an industrial-pilot manufacturing facility in Sherbrooke, Canada, for nickel nanopowder, aiming to offer a production capacity of up to 25 tonnes per year by 2023.

Latest Industry News:

• In April 2024, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation finalized an agreement with Ardea Resources Limited to form a joint venture for the Kalgoorlie Nickel Project (KNP) - Goongarrie Hub in Australia. This collaboration aims to advance the development of the nickel project, leveraging the strengths of all three companies.
• In April 2, 2024, Indonesian coal miner PT Harum Energy acquired a controlling 51% stake in PT Blue Sparking Energy, a nickel processing plant. This strategic move aligns with the broader trend of Indonesian coal miners diversifying into metals essential for the energy transition. Harum Energy converted part of its loan to Blue Sparking Energy into equity, with the nickel refiner issuing new shares valued at approximately $206 million as part of the transaction.
