In 2024, the United Kingdom import trend for the tungsten market experienced a decline, with a growth rate of -17.61% compared to the previous year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for 2020-2024 stood at -17.32%. This negative import momentum may be attributed to shifts in demand dynamics or changes in global trade policies impacting market stability.
The United Kingdom UK tungsten market is expected to witness growth during the forecast period (2020-2026). Tungsten, also referred to as wolfram, is a hard and lustrous grayish-white metal. It is widely used for its high melting point and hardness in several applications such as light bulbs, automotive components, tools & dies etc. The increased demand from aerospace sector coupled with growing use of tungsten products in medical industry are some of the major factors driving the market growth.
However, stringent regulations regarding usage of hazardous materials may hinder the market growth over the forecast period. Additionally, increasing availability of cost effective substitutes such as ceramics will further limit the demand for tungsten over coming years. The development of new alloys using nanotechnology can create potential opportunities for players operating in this space over near future.
