Market Dynamics

Introduction

Nickel alloys are non-ferrous metals with high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior elevated temperature properties. Nickel Copper, Nickel-Chromium-Iron, Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum, and Nickel-Molybdenum form most of the nickel alloys market. Globally, manufacturers sell nickel alloys in the form of plates, strips, semis, bars, seamless, and wires. These alloys find their applications in the aerospace, power, and energy, automotive, process, and other niche markets.

COVID-19 Impact

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for nickel alloys declined drastically in the wake of the lockdown and low industrial activities. The impact of the pandemic varied from industry to industry; however, the aerospace industry is proved to be the major victim of the pandemic. Most of the major markets are already started registering excellent rebound after the pandemic. For instance, aerospace, the biggest market for nickel alloys, is likely to witness a double-digit growth rate in a couple of years.

Market Drivers

Increasing the use of nickel alloys in the automotive industry for reducing weight and improving engine performance is one of the key drivers of the market. Similarly, an excellent rebound in the aerospace industry is likely to rejuvenate the demand for nickel alloys in the industry. The main challenge for the market is high volatility in the price of raw materials and the highly unstable oil & gas business which may impact the market's growth during the forecast period of 2023-28.
