Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are a class of materials (metals, alloys, or intermetallic compounds) that have been reinforced with particles, whiskers, or continuous fibers. MMCs are excellent substitutes for conventional materials owing to their hardness, specific strength, and creep resistance. The main types of metal matrix composites are aluminium MMC, magnesium MMC, copper MMC, superalloys MMC, and others. Aluminum is a chemical compound that is a light, silver-colored metal that is mostly utilized in the manufacture of cooking equipment and aircraft components. Aluminum metal matrix composites (AlMMCs) are a type of material that has been shown to fulfil the majority of the stringent requirements in applications requiring lightweight, high stiffness, and moderate strength. Magnesium-matrix composites have been developed for the space industry thanks to the low density of magnesium and its alloys. Copper-matrix composites are superior compared to other MMCs. Some equipment in particle accelerators, such as Radio Frequency Quadrupoles (RFQs) or electron targets, uses copper MMC compounds such as Glidcop to retain the material properties of copper at high temperatures and radiation levels. Super alloys are commonly used as candidate materials for manufacturing gas turbine blades, where they operate at higher temperatures and speeds. The various production technologies include liquid metal infiltration, powder metallurgy, casting, and deposition techniques. Metal matrix composites are used in various sectors, such as automotive and transportation, aerospace and defense, electrical and electronics, and industrial, among others. The metal matrix composite market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides metal matrix composite market statistics, including metal matrix composite industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a metal matrix composite market share, detailed metal matrix composite market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the metal matrix composite industry.

The global metal matrix composite market size grew from $0.53 billion in 2022 to $0.58 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The metal matrix composite market size is expected to grow to $0.81 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.6%. The growth of the automotive industry is expected to fuel the growth of the metal matrix composite market in the coming years. The automotive industry is made up of a diverse group of businesses and organizations that are involved in the design development, production, marketing, and sale of automobiles. Metal matrix composites are used to lower vehicle weight and enhance the efficiency of automobiles. For instance, according to the Statista, the global automotive industry is expected to grow to 9 trillion U.S. dollars by 2030, with new vehicle sales accounting for about 38% of this value. Electric vehicle sales are expected to increase from 2.5 million in 2020 to 3.4 million in 2021 and 31.1 million in 2030. Therefore, the expansion of the automotive industry propels the growth of the metal matrix composite market. The growth in technological advancements is shaping the metal matrix composite market. Major institutes and companies are focusing on projects involving advanced composite materials for the automotive and aerospace industries. According to a study published in 2021, Al-based metal matrix composites (AMMCs) have enormous applications in aerospace, automobiles, and other structural applications. Compared with conventional processes such as casting and powder metallurgy, AMMCs processed by additive manufacturing show a significant difference in microstructure and properties.

The alumina and aluminum production and processing market consist of sales of alumina and aluminium by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) primarily engaged in alumina extraction primarily from bauxite ore, producing aluminium from alumina, recovering aluminium from scrap or dross, refining aluminium by any process, alloying purchased aluminium and rolling, drawing, casting, extruding and alloying aluminium and aluminium-based alloy into primary forms such as bar, foil, pipe, plate, rod, sheet, tube, wire. The main types of alumina and aluminium production and processing are aluminium product manufacturing from purchased aluminium, secondary smelting and alloying of aluminium, and alumina refining and primary aluminium production. Secondary smelting will utilize secondary resources to convert or recover lead metal. An aluminium alloy is a composition containing mainly aluminium to which other elements have been added. The alloy is made by combining the elements when aluminium is molten (liquid), which cools to form a homogeneous solid solution. The various applications involved automotive, manufacturing, and other applications. The global alumina and aluminum production and processing market size is expected to grow from $688.45 billion in 2021 to $788.58 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The alumina and aluminum production and processing market is expected to grow to $1,107.63 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 8.9%. Aluminium manufacturers are producing customized aluminium alloys for automobile manufacturers to produce lightweight vehicles. The use of aluminium alloys in vehicles reduces carbon emissions Increases fuel economy and improves overall stability as aluminium alloys considerably reduce vehicle body weight. This is primarily driven by stringent emission regulations and growing pressure to improve the economy by many national and state governments. For instance, the US government’s federal emission standards make it mandatory for automobile manufacturers to increase corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) to 54.5 mpg by 2025. This increase in CAFE is being achieved by increasing the aluminium content in the vehicle’s body to reduce its weight by around 30%. In line with this trend, global automobile manufacturers are increasing the aluminium content in their vehicles. Major players in the alumina and aluminum production and processing market are Rio Tinto, Weiqiao/ Hongqiao Group, United Co RUSAL PLC, Alcoa, and Norsk Hydro.
