COVID-19 Impact

"Pandemic Disrupts Supply Chains and Reduces Demand, Impairing Market Contraction"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID pandemic did damage to the market niche since it caused global slots interruption, decreased industrial activity, and fell demand. Strict lockdowns, shutdowns of transportation, and the temporary closing of manufacturing facilities have had adverse effects on the labor of tungsten heating elements and additional parts globally. On the flip side, the other industries have had slower growth and tungsten heaters are big buyers in sectors such as electronics, automotive, and aerospace. This has led to a decrease in the demand.

LATEST TRENDS

"Growing Environmental Awareness Drives Demand for Energy-Efficient Tungsten Heaters in the Market"

The latest trend in the tungsten heater market growth is due to the rise of energy-efficient and sustainable heating products which meet the growing environmental concerns and needs for energy-efficient products. Firms develop highly insulated wires made from tungsten that are controlled with cutting-edge systems to improve energy efficiency and decrease carbon footprint. Hence, it is attributed to the growing environmental awareness and eco-friendly heating technology encouragement through the use of regulations.

TUNGSTEN HEATER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Tungsten Wire Mesh, Tungsten Rod, Tungsten Strip.

• Tungsten Wire Mesh Heaters: Tungsten-wire-mesh heaters are made of tungsten wires tightly wrapped together in a mesh-like pattern. Such heaters provide high surface-to-volume ratios. That allows for uniform energy across large surfaces and quick heat transfer to the desired areas.

• Tungsten Rod Heaters: Tungsten Rod Heaters are cylindrical and are manufactured from pure tungsten material. These heaters are known to be very rugged and dependable, being able to handle extremely hot environments.

• Tungsten Strip Heaters: The tungsten strip heaters are created of narrow tungsten strips and such strips are used in the heating process where they are needed to meet the strict space constraints or certain heating requirements. They give design a chance and we can wander about the form, shapes, and sizes by customizing our needs.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorised as Aluminum Spraying, Chrome Plating, Mirror Making, Ceramic Coating

• Aluminum Spraying: A tungsten heater is the primary source of thermal energy employed in selective aluminum spraying following the thermal spray coating work. The outstanding melting point of tungsten and excellent thermal conductivity are the main properties that ensure the excellent heating of aluminum and its melting before its spraying on surfaces.

• Chrome Plating: Tungsten Heaters play a very important role in the Chrome plating add-on process for electroplating chromium to get more resistance against corrosion, better appearance and lasting durability on different metal surfaces. Tungsten's corrosion resistance and high-temperature properties ensure the plating bath is maintained at an optimal temperature that allows the desired performance.

• Mirror Making: Along with tungsten heaters, glassmakers are using tungsten heaters for the production of quartz glass mirrors that are used in optical instruments, telescopes, and rearview automotive mirrors.

• Ceramic Coating: Heaters from tungsten are typically used in the ceramic coating industry where ceramic coatings are deposited onto metal substrates to provide enhanced wear resistance, heat-insulation capacity, and a decorative appearance. With Tungsten being heat resistant at high temperatures and with its thermal conductivity, it responds to heating ceramic materials to the melting, or fusing, temperatures desired.
