Bronze Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Bronze is an alloy which is consisting copper with about 12 to 12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals such as nickel, manganese, aluminum, or zinc and sometimes with non-metals, such as phosphorus or metalloids such as silicon or arsenic. Bronze is metal alloy, which means it combines two or more different types of metals. As a raw material, bronze is used in electrical contacts, musical instruments, and ship propellers. It is a very hard and wear-resistant material used for machine and bearings tools.

Global Bronze Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing usage of bronze in the automotive industry

Increasing usage of bronze in the automotive industry is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. The automotive industry is associated with wholesaling, production, retailing, and maintaining motor and electric vehicles. Bronze is widely used in the automotive industry for their favorable properties such as superior corrosion resistance, good durability, and improved maintenance. As a result, the market for bronze is driven by the growth of the automotive industry.

• Rising advancements in the manufacturing processes

The rising advancements in the manufacturing processes to offer superior products by numerous companies are also expected to drive the growth of the market. For instance, special heat treatment process to make commercial aluminum bronze helps improve its mechanical properties and further offers high strength to the alloy. These aluminum bronze are used in high deformation military aircraft, abrasion, heavy loads which require extra hardness, high strength, toughness and ductility.

Opportunities

• Growing demand for bronze in the aerospace sector

The growing demand for bronze in the aerospace sector is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the, market growth during the forecast period. Bronze are widely used in aerospace industry because of its wide variety of applications such as production of cargo doors, bearings and bushings in landing gears, wheel and brake components, hydraulic pump components, wing and tail actuators, pylons, and many other demanding applications where corrosion, heavy loads and abrasion are major concerns  for manufacturers in aerospace industry.

• Surging acquisition between major market players to widen the market scope

Furthermore, surging acquisition between major market players will further offer lucrative opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, KME acquired TRÉFIMÉTAUX SAS which is a French company that carries out its copper rods and copper tubes businesses at Givet and Niederbrück plants in 2019, for USD 2.2 million. Besides, TRÉFIMÉTAUX SAS controls Serravalle Copper Tubes S.r.l., an Italian company engaged in the manufacturing of copper tubes at Serravalle Scrivia. The annual turnover of TRÉFIMÉTAUX SAS is above USD 240 million. This acquisition will aid KME to strengthen its presence in Europe.

Restraints/ Challenge

• High cost associated with bronze

The major factor that will affect the growth of the bronze market is the high cost of bronze. The cost of the bronze is basically high because it is not easily available, imposing a major issue for the growth of the bronze market. Furthermore, it is more expensive than other metal such as copper and brass. Copper can develop a patina, a green film as a result of long exposure to moist air.

• Degradation of bronze

The degradation of the bronze is very difficult due to the easily oxidisation of bronze in the presence of air after degradation and rapidly deteriorate if exposed to chlorides or sulfides and moisture which will likely obstruct the growth of the global bronze market during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030.
