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 global metal market is segmented - 1) By Type: Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy, Processed Nonferrous Metal, Processed Alumina and Aluminum, Foundries, Steel Products 2) By Metal Type: Aluminum, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Cerium, Chromium, Cobalt, Other Metal Types 3) By End User: Construction, Manufacturing, Other End Users Subsegments Covered: Crude Steel, Pig Iron, Ferroalloys, Smelted and Refined Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum), Rolled, Extruded and Alloyed Copper, Rolled and Extruded Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum), Secondary Smelted, Refined and Alloyed Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum), Aluminum Products From Purchased Aluminum, Secondary Smelted and Alloyed Aluminum, Refined Alumina and Primary Aluminum Production, Ferrous Metal Foundries, Nonferrous Metal Foundries, Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube, Rolled and Drawn Steel The global metal market size grew from $3940.17 billion in 2022 to $4230.27 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. 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 market size of global metal market is expected to grow to $5464.83 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.6%. The global demand for copper is expected to increase during the forecast period, driving the metal manufacturing market. According to a report by Fitch Solutions, global copper demand is expected to increase to 29 .8 million tons by 2027, with an annual growth rate of 2.6%. Significant growth in demand for copper is expected to come from electric vehicles, appliances, air conditioners, refrigerators and other electrical and electronics products. For instance, electric vehicles require approximately 130 lb. of additional copper, compared to vehicles with an internal combustion engine. Additional demand for 600,000 tons of copper by 2027 is expected to come from electric vehicles, thereby driving the market going forward. Major companies in the metal market include POSCO, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co.Ltd., ArcelorMittal S.A., Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, Jiangxi Copper Company, JFE Holdings Inc., Glencore International, Hyundai Steel Company, Nucor Corp, and TATA Steel Group. Geopolitical tensions are expected to hurt the metal manufacturing market during the forecast period. Repercussions of geopolitical tensions include sanctions on Russia, trade protectionism and heightened military tensions in the Middle East. Sanction on Russia was related to the violation of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991. For instance, Brexit is likely to lead to more trade restrictions between the UK and other countries in Europe. The US is also implementing several trade restrictions, especially with China, to boost its local production. For instance, the US imposed tariffs on $550 billion worth of Chinese goods including metals and metal products as of January 2020. Continued violence and terrorism in the Middle East and other parts globally are also expected to hurt the market. Automated manufacturing systems are gaining popularity as they enhance manufacturing productivity and reduce operating costs. Automation systems refer to a machine, tool, or technology such as robotics and AI that helps to reduce human intervention and improve safety in metal manufacturing processes such as processing, assembling, and material handling. This allows metal manufacturing companies to increase efficiency and production, improve safety on the manufacturing floor, enhance product quality, perform complex and varied tasks, enhance process stability, provide flexibility to produce products, and eliminate routine manual tasks. For instance, in November 2021, ABB Limited, a Switzerland-based manufacturing technology company, launched a smart factory solution. The new system is exceptional because it provides powerful real-time ladle tracking in addition to automated crane scheduling, a predictive thermal modeling engine, and other features. The tracking engine continuously monitors the movement of ladles using cranes and transfer carriages. In comparison to radio-frequency identification (RFID) solutions, radar and laser positioning technologies offer precise vision while requiring less hardware and maintenance. Job forecasting, route planning, and automatic job acknowledgment are all part of the automated crane scheduling process. The Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the metal market share in 2022.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the metal and mineral manufacturing market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, the Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Manufacturers depend heavily on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials. The outbreak has hurt businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the metal and mineral manufacturing market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
