Market Overview
The global master alloys market was valued at USD 275.2 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 412.8 million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 5.13% during 2021-2028.
Master alloy is a combination of a base metal such as aluminum, copper, and titanium with a relatively high percentage of two or more elements. It serves as a raw material for the manufacturing of various alloys; it is mainly used for altering and enhancing the heat and corrosion resistance of metals.
Market Dynamics
The growth of the master alloys market is primarily driven by increasing demand in titanium alloy production. A broad range of master alloys such as vanadium aluminum (VAl), molybdenum aluminum (MoAl), chromium aluminum (CrAl) and military master alloys are used as alloying elements for the manufacturing of titanium alloys. The titanium alloys market growth is driven by increasing demand from the aerospace & military sector. Rapidly changing design requirements in the aerospace industry have witnessed increasing adoption of high-performance materials for aircraft structures and engine components. Thus, the optimistic market for titanium alloys on the backdrop of growing aerospace industry is expected to witness subsequent demand for master alloys.
Additionally, an increasing use of aluminum alloys in the automotive sector with rising demand for lightweight vehicles is likely to augment the market growth substantially. Expanding automotive industry with increasing automobile production particularly in the developing countries is likely to propel the market growth at a significant rate during the review period.
Segmental Overview
The market is primarily segmented on the basis of type, application, end-use, and geographic region.
By Type:
The aluminum master alloys segment held the largest share in the global market in 2020. This is mainly ascribed to its widespread use in the end-use industries as it helps in achieving proper casting structure, quicker dispersion of additives, and enhancing the microstructural properties, thereby, increasing the strength, ductility, and machinability of metals. Also, it is an economical master alloy as compared to its counterparts. The vanadium master alloy segment is expected to register healthy CAGR during the review period.
By End-Use:
The aerospace & defense segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Master alloys are extensively used in the manufacturing of civil, military aircraft, and space programs. Master alloys are used for controlling chemistry in the melting of super alloys and titanium which are used in engines and airframes; metal powder coatings; and instrumentation applications, among others, in the aerospace industry.
By Region:
Geographically, the market in Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share of global master alloys in 2020 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during the review period. The market growth can be attributed to the growing urbanization and increasing industrialization in the developing economies of Asia-Pacific particularly India and Southeast Asian nations. China accounted for the largest market share in 2020. The strong presence of aerospace & defense, marine, and automotive industries are the prime factors fuelling the demand for master alloys in China. In 2021, the Chinese government proposed a yearly defense budget of USD 209 billion, a 6.8% increase from that of 2020 of USD 179 billion.
The market growth in North America region is primarily driven by the presence of major aerospace & defense companies such as Northrop Grumman Corporation, Boeing, and GE. Established presence of automotive is another factor contributing to the regional growth. In addition to this, increasing environmental regulations pertaining to carbon emissions has resulted in surge in demand for lightweight materials which is likely to fuel the demand for aluminum alloys in the automotive industry.
COVID-19 Impact
The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the chemicals & materials supply chains, international trade, and manufacturing operations across the world. The production of master alloys has declined amidst the COVID-19 pandemic as the market players had to shut production facilities or operate the facilities below the optimal production capacities to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. Further, the limited availability of raw materials due to supply disruptions has led to a decline in production.
