Nickel Powder Market, by Type, Process, and Application - Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2017 – 2025

Nickel is a chemical element and the products containing nickel and nickel powder exhibit high corrosion resistance, enhanced toughness, and magnetic and electronic properties and with high strength at both high and low temperatures. Hence, it is used in a variety of applications such as batteries, alloying elements, and others, which is expected to aid in growth of the nickel powder market. Furthermore, increasing demand for stainless steel particularly in China, fuels growth of this market. According to World Steel Association, China is the largest steel producing country, producing 803.8 million metric tons in 2015 and it was increased to 808.4 million metric tons in 2016. However, nickel is a carcinogenic metal and its exposure may lead to various diseases such as lung cancer, neurological deficits, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure, which is expected to hinder growth of the nickel powder market.

Nickel Powder-Market Taxonomy
On the basis of type, nickel powder market is segmented into:
Electrolytic Nickel Powder
Carbonyl Nickel Powder
On the basis of process type, nickel powder market is segmented into:
Carbonyl Vapormetallurgy Process
Hydrometallurgical Sherritt Process
Others
On the basis of application, nickel powder market is segmented into:
Stainless Steel
Alloy
Electroplate & Battery
Foundry
Others

Among powder types, carbonyl nickel powder segment accounted for the largest market share in terms of revenue. Carbonyl nickel powder is the highest purity nickel (99.98%) with high specific surface area, which helps in reducing power consumption as compared to electrolytic nickel powder. This is fueling growth of the nickel powder market. However, inhalation of carbonyl nickel powder may lead to side effects such as nausea, headache, and vomiting.

Nickel Powder - Market Outlook

North America is expected to be the largest market in terms of revenue share, over the forecast period. This is attributed to growing usage of nickel powder in alloys, and stainless steel in the U.S. and Canada. According to United States Geological Survey, approximately 45% of the nickel consumed was utilized in alloy steel and stainless steel production in the U.S. and produced 1.64 million tons of stainless steel (nickel bearing) in 2014, was 8% more from 2013.
Asia Pacific is fastest growing region in the global nickel powder market over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for stainless steel for various end use industries such as food and catering, automotive, energy and heavy industries, and others in emerging economies such as China. According to Department of Industry, Innovation and Science — a department of the Australian Government — China is the largest market for nickel accounted for the 65% of nickel consumption in the world. The stainless steel production in China was 25 million tons in 2016, which was increased by 16% whereas, Japan was second largest market for stainless steel production accounting for 3.3 million tons in 2016.

According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, nickel and nickel refinery dust is a carcinogen and has led to lung tumors, which has negatively impacting growth of market.
Nickel powder manufactures are adopting various strategies such as partnerships and research & development, to sustain their market positions. In June 2017, Sama Resources Inc. — a company focused on exploring nickel and copper project in Africa — signed a partnership agreement with CVMR Corporation for using its technology, to produce iron and nickel powder.

Some of the major market players operating in the global nickel powder market include Vale Mining Company, MMC Norilsk Nickel, Chemalloy, Jinchuan (USA) Inc., Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd., Nizi International, Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd., Sarda Industrial Enterprises, and others.
