“The iron powder market in North America is using machinability enhancing additives to improve products made from iron powder. Vendors in the market are focusing on value addition to enhance metallurgical properties of iron powder to meet the stringent requirements from automakers,” said Chandrakumar Badala Jaganathan, one of Technavio’s lead industry analysts for metals and minerals research.

“The market is therefore witnessing an increase in the use of advanced mixing and binding technologies and specially designed lubricants in manufacturing processes. This enables efficient experimental and simulation methods that optimize product and process design, durability, quality, and performance. This trend is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period,” added Chandrakumar.

Some of the other driving forces behind the growth of the iron powder market in North America are as follows:

  • Growing demand from the automotive industry
  • Increase in demand for steel
  • Increase in demand for metal injection molded products

Growing demand from the automotive industry

In terms of volume, the automotive industry in North America is growing at a rapid pace owing to increased consumer confidence and recovery of automobile industries leading to increased consumption of iron powders. Iron powder improves the quality of automotive parts and helps deliver optimum performance, which enhance the performance of these parts. Vendors in the market are focusing on value addition to enhance metallurgical properties of iron powder to meet the stringent requirements from automakers. Iron powder is used in steering parts, engine parts, transmission parts, seat and door parts, suspension parts, brake parts, and sensors. It is primarily used for soft magnetic applications.

Increase in demand for steel

Steel production in North America is primarily driven by the US, which accounted for 72.75% of the total steel production in the region in 2015. Growth in energy, appliance, rail, machinery and equipment, infrastructure, manufacturing, and automotive fosters the demand for steel.

Iron powder is used in the steel industry for applications such as stainless steel cutting, brazing, and surface coating of steel rollers. As a building material, steel is crucial for energy and water infrastructure and for commercial and residential construction. The North American steel industry invests continually in advanced materials and manufacturing technologies concerning steel. This has led to the introduction of a wide variety of new automotive steel variants. It is anticipated to become a key emerging trend for the global iron powder market in north America.

Increase in demand for metal injection molded products

Carbonyl iron powder is used for metal injection molding. These powders are finer than common atomized and reduced iron powders. The carbonyl iron powder market in North America is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.86% during the forecast period. Metal injection molding provides complex features such as slots, threads, dovetails, undercuts, and complex curved surfaces. Metal injection molding also allows cylindrical parts with greater length-to-diameter ratios to be produced.
