D2 Tool Steel Powder Market Share, Sales Volume, Price Analysis Report 2026

On Jan 4, Global Info Research released "Global D2 Tool Steel Powder Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032". This report includes an overview of the development of the D2 Tool Steel Powder industry chain, the market status of D2 Tool Steel Powder Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of D2 Tool Steel Powder.

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global D2 Tool Steel Powder market size was valued at US$ 32.67 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 45.81 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.0% during review period.
D2 Tool Steel Powder is the powder form of AISI D2 cold-work tool steel-a high-carbon, high-chromium, air-hardening tool steel family known for very high wear resistance and good dimensional stability after heat treatment.
Upstream, D2 powder starts with steelmaking inputs (iron units, carbon, and key alloying additions such as chromium with smaller additions like molybdenum and vanadium), followed by melting/refining and powder production. For AM/near-net shaping, powders are often made by gas atomization, where molten metal is broken into droplets by a high-pressure (often inert) gas stream and solidifies into fine particles-typically producing cleaner, more spherical, free-flowing powder than many alternative routes.
Downstream, D2 powder is used in powder metallurgy consolidation (e.g., HIP + hot working, press-and-sinter, MIM) and in additive manufacturing routes.
In 2025, global sales of D2 Tool Steel Powder reached approximately 992 tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 32/kg. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 20% to 35%.
The D2 tool steel powder market is characterized by high value, low-to-medium volume, and many specification splits. Demand is driven by two main routes: conventional powder metallurgy for wear-resistant parts and cold-work tooling, and additive manufacturing for complex tooling such as conformal-cooling inserts and repair/refurbishment. In practice, the value of "D2 in powder form" is less about the grade name and more about powder attributes-particle size distribution, sphericity, cleanliness, oxygen control, and lot-to-lot consistency-because these determine forming stability and downstream heat-treatment response.
On the supply side, competitiveness is driven by process know-how and quality systems rather than nameplate capacity. Gas atomization plus tight classification and robust QA define the entry barrier for premium powders, and suppliers increasingly need to validate the full chain-printing or molding, sintering, heat treatment, and final properties-together with customers. Leading producers tend to lock in demand through "material + process window + reliable delivery," aligning with customers' qualification cycles. Meanwhile, industrial cyclicality still transmits into powder consumption, so suppliers often prioritize mix upgrades (more premium powders) over volume chasing to protect profitability.
Growth is most likely to come from tooling modernization and regionalized supply chains. As more tooling shifts toward digital, fast-iteration manufacturing, customers place higher emphasis on predictable processability, traceable chemistry/cleanliness, and consistent heat-treat behavior. D2 already has strong recognition in cold-work wear applications, but scaling further depends on downstream users' ability to convert higher material cost into lower total manufacturing cost-shorter lead times, reduced post-processing , and longer tool life that improves overall economics.
