Abstract

US demand to grow 1.7% annually through 2012
US demand for metal powders (including flakes and pastes) will grow 1.7 percent annually to 1.2 billion pounds in 2012. New applications for many types of metal powders, including iron and steel, stainless steel, aluminum and tungsten, will support increases. In some instances -- such as the spread of powdered metal parts in motor vehicles -- these applications represent an ongoing evolution. However, completely new applications and revolutionary products like nanoscale metal powders will also support growth in demand.

In value terms, demand for metal powders will fall slightly to $3.5 billion in 2012, primarily due to expected declines in the price of many metal powders off of elevated 2007 levels. Prices for a number of metals, including steel, aluminum, precious metals, copper and nickel, rose sharply beginning in 2004 due to production bottlenecks and a sharp increase in demand worldwide. Since prices for many metal powders are dependent upon the prices for the metals themselves, these spikes led to significant price increases for a number of metal powders as well. Through 2012, many of the bottlenecks will be eliminated, and this will help drive prices back toward more normal levels.
