    MARKET DYNAMICS

    SI No Timeline Developments
    1 Q4-2021 Sintered metal is used for automobile components and also stainless steel parts, sintered metal production method reduces the cutting process of the product and is suitable for mass production.
    2 Q4-2021 The complex  three dimensional products are produced by using the sintered metal manufacturing process. The sintered parts are featured with high precision neat shape end products and by integrating parts the the assembly cost can be reduced and this method avoids wastage of materials.
    3 Q3-2021 GKN Powder Metallurgy innovated the manufacturing process by developing a 3D printing process to produce two new powder metal products of Dual Phase Low Alloy and Free Sintering Low Alloy for automotive and industrial applications.

    The average price of the sintered metal used in vehicles varies from $ 13 – $ 40 depending on the region, parts used, proximity to the manufacturing facility, etc.

    By Component

    • Engine singlehandedly holds the largest usage of sintered metals with 37-42% of automotive sintered metals being used in engines globally. •In 2022, the market will bounce back from chip shortage and this will increase the growth of sintered metal usage in the engine component with focus on trucks by Detroit 3
    • Transmission holds second largest usage of sintered metal, and is a focus area for both ICE and EVs. In EVs transmission will be the key factor as value add will be the highest in terms of decreasing weight and increasing strength especially gear boxes
    • Body accounts for 17-20% of sintered metal usage in automotive market. This includes pumps, exhaust systems, sensor rings, chassis components and shock absorber parts. Increasing ADAS across the globe will increase sintered metal usage irrespective of type of vehicle

     

                   

     

    By OEM

    • Volkswagen, the global leader in automotive sales, utilities ~6 kg per vehicle.The OEM has the majority of their sales from Europe and China where utilization of sintered metal is low compared to the USA. 1.9 million units were sold under their premium brands which utilize a higher quantity of sintered metal per vehicle
    • Stellantis gathers most of their sales from USA and Europe, and have an average of 12 kgs of sintered metal per vehicle. RAM trucks in USA increase their average weight as they have 6/8 cylinder engines.
    • Ford has a strong presence in USA, with 50% of their sales in USA coming from trucks and 43% from SUVs. Both of the vehicle types are heavy utilizers of sintered metal

     

    By Geography

    • USA is one of the largest markets for sintered metal with the highest average content per vehicle. Trucks and SUV sales accounted for 77% of overall vehicles sales of USA in 2021. The penetration of 4-WD in USA is estimated to be at 20% and is one of the largest globally. In 2022, the market will bounce back from the chip shortage and sales are expected to reach 2019 levels which will boost the sintered metal market
    • The average weight of sintered metal per vehicle in Europe is 10 kgs. 40% of the overall market is held by SUVs and crossovers, which utilize 20% more sintered metal than sedans and hatchbacks. Increasing PHEV and BEV sales are a threat to the sintered metal market in Europe
    • In China, the average weight of sintered metal used per vehicle is 4-5 kgs. China has a low penetration of torque convertors, and turbo chargers with lesser than 25% of penetration. However China’s EPB penetration is more than 70%. The SUV penetration is expected to stabilize at 40-43% thereby increasing sintered metal utilisation per vehicle. Electrification is a threat to sintered metal in China.
    • Japanese OEMs focus on efficiency in their vehicles and as a result will see a growth in sintered metal usage due to decrease weight as well as improving fuel combustion to increase fuel efficiency

     

    By vehicle type

    • ICE vehicles drive the market and will continue to do so till 2027. Various parts are seeing increasing manufacturing by sintered metal such as gears, components of shock absorbers, transfer cases, components in VVTs and CVTs, and clutch hubs. There is an increase in research to develop new parts in sintered metals to decrease the overall weight of the vehicle.
    • In BEVs, the engine parts utilizing sintered metals will be 0. Transmission parts will decrease but what is left is of high value; thereby a huge area for sintered metal suppliers. PHEVs will see increased usage of sintered metals, especially to accommodate the extra weight of batteries.
