Global Markets for Spark Plasma Sintering & Other Advanced Sintering Technologies: 2015-2018 to 2022 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Markets for Spark Plasma Sintering and Other Advanced Sintering Technologies" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This research has identified three main categories of advanced sintering technologies (AST): current assisted, which includes spark plasma sintering; vacuum-assisted; and electromagnetic radiation assisted. Although these advanced sintering technologies have theoretically countless applications, they are primarily used in six sectors: aerospace, automotive, electronics/optoelectronics, energy, mechanical/metallurgical and medical.

Electromagnetic radiation-assisted sintering (e.g., selective laser sintering and microwave sintering) currently account for the largest share of the market. Within this segment, selective laser sintering systems for coatings and 3D printing represent the most popular type.

The next-largest category is vacuum-assisted sintering, while the current-assisted sintering segment, which is primarily comprised of spark plasma sintering systems. Demand for AST systems is projected to continue to grow at a healthy pace during the next five years, due to a variety of factors, including the following:

  • Increasing popularity of 3D printed devices.
  • Higher penetration in different sectors, particularly medical, electronics, optoelectronics and energy.
  • Need for sintering processes that allow for fast firing, high-throughput and more automation.
  • Rapidly rising levels of related R&D activities.

Although sales volume of AST equipment is expected to be characterized by good growth, revenues will expand at a slower pace due to ongoing price pressure.
