Global Hafnium Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2017-2022) - Research and Markets

The "Global Hafnium Market - Segmented By Type, Application, and Geography - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2017 - 2022)" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global hafnium market consumption is expected to value 69.5 metric tons in 2017 and reach 122 metric tons by 2022, registering a CAGR of 11.91% during 2017-2022 (the forecast period).

Hafnium is a silvery, metallic element separated from ores of zirconium and used in nuclear reactor control rods, as a getter for oxygen, and nitrogen, and in tungsten filament alloys. Hafnium exists in a ratio of about 1:50 to zirconium, in its ore. It is produced as a by-product during the purification process of zirconium.

This market is driven by many factors, such as growing demand from aerospace industry and gas turbines, increasing use in nuclear applications, semiconductors industry and photographic applications. However, shutting down of the nuclear reactors, overexposure causing health disorders such as irritation of eyes, mucous membrane and skin, and limited availability makes the consumers rely on other substitute's products, thus, decelerating the market growth.

The global hafnium market has been segmented on the basis of type, and application. Based on type, the market has been segmented into hafnium oxide, hafnium carbide, and others. Based on application, the market has been segmented into super alloys, optical coatings, nuclear, plasma cutting, and others; moreover, based on consumption, super alloy is expected to account for the highest market share, during 2017-2022 (the forecast period).
