One of the major growth drivers for Metal Powder is the expansion of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Metal powders are critical feedstock for selective laser melting, electron beam melting and other powder‐bed fusion methods. These processes permit the creation of parts that would be difficult or impossible to manufacture by traditional subtractive or casting methods. As AM adoption grows, so does demand for high‐quality, application‐specific metal powders. 

In addition, powder metallurgy techniques such as pressing and sintering remain fundamental in automotive components, industrial machinery, and tooling. The ability to achieve near‐net shape components, reduce machining waste, and integrate complex material compositions underpins the continuing relevance of metal powders across manufacturing. The convergence of these trends means the metal powder market is influenced both by cutting‐edge technologies and large‐scale industrial volumes.
