Tungsten Carbide Market: By Grade, By Application, By End-User Industry and Geography
Tungsten Carbide Market size was valued at US$ 28,724.4 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% over 2024-2030. Tungsten carbide is a grey-colored compound formed by combining tungsten metal with carbon atoms. It has high strength, viscosity, and hardness making it a sought-after material for many applications. It has the capability to withstand very high temperature making it suitable for use in machining, cutting tools, and even in furnaces. Tungsten carbide is used to create surgical tools such as blade handles, scissors, haemostats, graspers, forceps, and cautery in the medical field and is expected to drive the market.
For instance, in August 2022, John Crane a global pioneer in rotating equipment solutions that provides engineered technology and services to process industries announced the official launch of John Crane Diamond® 8190, a novel material application on tungsten carbide substrate for certain Type 8AB Seals using clamped-in mating rings. Moreover, tungsten carbide is staggeringly used in jewelry as it is more affordable, strong, hypoallergenic, and tarnish resistant that maintains its shine for a long time. But the COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions had a detrimental effect on the market.
On the other hand, tungsten carbide poses a potential risk to cause lung fibrosis akin to silicosis and dust inhalation can cause cancer as well as visual problems and skin allergies. which hampers the market. However, due to rapid industrialization and urbanization taking place throughout the world, the increased investment of emerging economies government investments in infrastructure projects, and ongoing R&D activities to heighten the overall growth of the tungsten carbide market.

The global tungsten carbide market is expected to rise as metals and alloys containing tungsten carbide are frequently used in the production of aerospace and defence products. Tungsten carbide materials with high toughness, high temperature, abrasion, and corrosion resistance are frequently used in the manufacturing of aerospace and defence goods. Tungsten alloys are used in the aircraft industry are several counterweights for the rotor blades of satellites and helicopters, missiles, and aerospace gyro controls. Moreover, it is used to coat the inner surface and complex shape of aircraft components without holes by creating a tight protective layer of tungsten and tungsten carbide components. This method is suitable for designs and complex geometric shapes that cannot be used in spraying technology. For instance, in May 2023, Airbus chose the Hardide chemical vapour deposition (CVD) nano-structured tungsten/tungsten carbide coating to replace the hard chrome plating (HCP) that was previously applied to these components. These features encourage the market’s growth over the forecasted period.
