Market Overview:
Tungsten, also known as wolframis, is a naturally occurring chemical element. It exists on the Earth combination with other elements in the form of chemical compounds. Wolframite and Scheelite are the important ores of tungsten. Tungsten is primarily used in manufacturing hard metals based on tungsten carbide which is one of the hardest carbides. On account of its hardness it is widely used in manufacturing wear-resistant abrasives and cutting tools and equipment. This application accounts for more than 50% of the industrial consumption of the tungsten. Additionally, the ability of tungsten carbide to resist abrasion it is widely used in making jewelries.
Based on metal, the Global Tungsten Market has been segmented into foils, ribbons, wires, rods, tubes, and sheets & strips. Ribbons segment held the largest market share in 2017 on account of significant use in vast industrial applications and in vapor deposition processes. It is widely used in the electronic industry owing to high electrical resistance.
By product, the market is categorized into carbides, tungsten alloys, tungsten mill products, tungsten chemicals, and others. Among them, carbide accounted to the largest share of the market in 2017. This mainly due to vast use of the tungsten in manufacturing hard materials based on tungsten carbide. The product is primarily used in manufacturing the tungsten carbide which is one of the hardest carbides. Due to its hardness, tungsten is widely used in manufacturing wear-resistant abrasives and cutting tools and equipment. This application accounts for more than 50% of the industrial consumption of the tungsten.
On the basis of end-use, the Global Tungsten Market has been categorized into automotive, aerospace & defense, machine tools & equipment, electrical & electronics, chemicals, and others.
