The growth of the sintered steel market is being fueled by the expanding automotive sector and a rising demand for innovative designs. The automotive industry is witnessing a surge in innovation, particularly in software-based systems, driven by the concepts of electrified, autonomous, connected, and shared (EACS) vehicles. The need for upgradable cars, coupled with the innovative application of sintered components replacing traditional forged metal parts, is evident in the sector. Notably, in August 2023, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System reported an increase in total vehicle production in the United States to 11.77 million units, up from 10.91 million units in June. The sintered steel market is poised to benefit from the expansion of the automotive sector and the growing demand for inventive designs.

The sintered steel market is anticipated to experience substantial growth due to the rapid expansion of the construction industry. With its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, sintered steel is becoming a preferred material in various construction applications. This adoption enhances the safety, lifespan, and overall robustness of buildings and infrastructure. A significant uptick in construction investment, as indicated by the US Census Bureau's prediction of a rise to $1,983.5 billion in August 2023, up 7.4 percent from $1,847.3 billion in August 2022, underscores the driving force of the sintered steel market's growth.

Key players in the sintered steel market are channeling efforts into product innovation, exemplified by the development of nickel-free alloyed steel powder. This specialized powdered metal, introduced by JFE Steel Corporation, is designed to produce steel without using nickel as an alloying ingredient. Launched in November 2021, FM1300S nickel-free alloyed steel powder combines high tensile strength (1,300 MPa) with toughness and durability comparable to or surpassing Ni-containing alloyed steel powder. The innovative features allow sintered products to be made using standard sintering, minimizing costs, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions.

A key trend in the sintered steel market is technological advancement, particularly in the automotive sector. Mumbai-based company Autonomous Intelligence Motors Private Limited's announcement of launching an artificial intelligence-of-things-powered autonomous car in 2022 exemplifies this trend. The vehicle, equipped with BS8-compliant engines, cameras, custom sensors, and radars, represents a groundbreaking advancement in the automotive industry. This incorporation of advanced technologies aligns with the trend of embracing innovation within the sintered steel market.
