Superalloys Market 2015-2019

Market analysis of super alloys

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the superalloys market to grow at a CAGR of around 9% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for superalloys in the aerospace, automotive, and industrial component sectors is driving the growth of this market. For instance, nickel alloy is the most commonly used alloy in the aerospace industry as it is resistant to extremely high temperatures and physical stress, which helps in surface stability. They are also utilized in the manufacture of turbine blades and gas turbine engines as it has high-temperature strength, toughness, and is resistant to degradation in oxidizing and corrosive environments.

The increased adoption of light-weight high-precision components in the transportation sector is also expected to contribute to the market growth during the forecast period. Superalloys are light weight, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, and are low maintenance. They also help reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency along with being easy to handle, design, shape, and repair. These properties assist in prolonging the life cycle of the equipment or components made using these materials.
