Global Tungsten Carbide Market Dynamics-

The demand for cemented carbide in cutting application is significantly increasing in various sectors worldwide. This is one of the major factors augmenting the market value worldwide. The cemented carbide tools are highly used in the production of glass bottles, aluminium cans, plastic tubes, steel wires, copper wires. With the surging demand from manifold applications, the adoption of cemented carbide is drastically growing. This is the reason why large number of firms are innovating in the cemented carbide and investing in large amount. For instance; on April 14^th, 2022; Sandvik introduced 3D-printed cemented carbide. In addition to this, VBN Components AB, Uppsala, Sweden, has established a new cemented carbide for metal additive production, the hard metal Vibenite 480. The global development of cemented carbides has grown rapidly in the recent years among number of market players. With the betterment of quality, the demand for tungsten carbide across the end market is increasing.

In addition, aerospace industry plays a vital role in the market expansion of the tungsten carbide globally. In aerospace sector, alloy is a protective coating that commonly made by using tungsten carbide/cobalt as the raw material for supersonic spraying on the surface of nickel or iron-based materials. Rotor blades, propellers, inertial systems, fluid control systems, bucking bars, trim weights, aircraft balance weights, and many more are extensively used in manufacturing aerospace components. Tungsten carbide materials have high hardness, abrasion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance. Hence, these are widely used in the aerospace industry globally. The total volume sales revenue left a considerable footprint on the American economy.

Despite aforementioned optimistic factors, small level of exposure of tungsten carbide can have significant health consequences such as skin allergy, skin burns, or eye irritation which may hamper the market growth. In spite of that, the growing investments in the tungsten carbide specially 3D printing technology can provide plethora of opportunities for the further growth of the global tungsten carbide market.
