The powder metallurgy parts market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for powder metallurgy parts has demonstrated robust growth in the preceding years. Its size is projected to surge from $26.94 billion in 2024 to $28.97 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The significant growth perceived in the historic phase can be accredited to the escalating demand from the automotive sector, cost-effective production methods, advancements in metal powder technology, environmental sustainability, and growth in the diversity of end-use industries.
The Powder Metallurgy Parts market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for powder metallurgy parts is predicted to experience robust expansion in the forthcoming years. It's projected to reach $36 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.
The surge in the forecast period is attributed to the growth of the electric vehicle market, the need for customization and intricate geometries, the rising use in aerospace applications, the high demand for lightweight materials, and the growing usage within the healthcare sector. Key trends during this period are expected to be the use of tungsten alloys, the emphasis on quality standards and certification, global supply chain issues, cooperative R&D, and increased manufacturing of electric vehicles.
The surge in the global demand for electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the powder metallurgy parts market. Electric vehicles, which are fully or partially powered by electricity and operate on an electric engine rather than a traditional combustion one, use powder metallurgy parts like soft magnetic parts in the electric motor, thereby ruling out the possibility of laminations. Consequently, the burgeoning electric vehicles industry would result in increased demand for the powder metallurgy parts market. To illustrate, the International Energy Agency, an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, reported in April 2023 that over 10 million electric cars were sold globally in 2022, with sales predicted to rise by another 35% in 2023, hitting 14 million. Hence, the escalating demand for electric vehicles is fuelling the growth of the powder metallurgy parts market.

Leading firms in the powder metallurgy parts market are investing in product advancements, including bonded mix solutions, to boost compaction efficiency. This technology allows for the creation of bigger, more intricate components featuring improved density distribution and lesser material wastage. Bonded mix solutions enhance compaction effectiveness by providing high apparent density and superior filling performance, eliminating the need for metal stearates. For example, in October 2024, Höganäs AB, a powdered metal manufacturing company from Sweden, debuted Starmix Nova, a cutting-edge bonded mix solution. This product is designed to augment compaction efficiency, providing high apparent density and bolstered filling performance without relying on metal stearates. The development supports the fabrication of larger, more sophisticated components with a better density distribution, prolongs tool lifespan, and promotes cleaner, more eco-friendly sintering procedures.
