Market Overview
The Carbonyl Iron Powder Market is anticipated to register a healthy CAGR of over 3.80% to reach around USD 274 Million by the end of the forecast period, 2023–2028.
Carbonyl iron powder is a dark greyish colored powder consisting of refined and pure iron particles with unique morphological properties such as excellent absorption of radar and microwaves, high purity, and outstanding magnetization characteristics.
This material is produced by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5), which is previously distilled to high purity and results in a wide range of hard & soft, coated & uncoated varieties of carbonyl iron powder, which are used in several industries such as aerospace & defense industry, electronics, and medical. Carbonyl iron powder is a prominent part of the market. It is used in various applications, including prominent metal injection molding, diamond tools, radar absorption, powder metallurgy, electrical components, and metallic inks.
The increasing demand for carbonyl iron powder in the electronics industry for electromagnet cores and inductive electronic components positively pushes the global market growth. Carbonyl iron powder is used in electromagnetic cores with a high-frequency coil that helps maintain the voltage in tablets, personal computers, smartphones, sensitive digital electronic devices, etc. Applications of carbonyl iron powder in various applications such as fabrication of diamond tools, metal injection molding, powder metallurgy, radar absorption, and metallic inks are other vital factors expected to fuel the Carbonyl Iron Powder Market.
