The increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials, rising demand for refractory materials, and the growing utilization of electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are composite materials, such as metals, alloys, or intermetallic compounds, which are incorporated with various particulates, whiskers or continuous fibers. They are manufactured by stacking and bonding alternative layers of metals or alloys to enhance the toughness and damage tolerance.

They are designed to offer various benefits, such as improving strength, enhancing wear and creep resistance, increasing damping, and reducing thermal expansion. Besides this, MMCs provide high shear strength, enhance abrasion resistance, and offer nonflammability, minimal attack by fuels and solvents, and the ability to be formed and treated on conventional equipment.

They are also applied to brake rotors, pistons, and other automotive components as MMCs can operate in high temperatures. As a result, it finds extensive applications in the aerospace, defense, electronics, marine, and packaging industries across the globe.

At present, the increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in the aerospace industry to boost fuel efficiency due to the inflating fuel prices represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the rising awareness among the masses about the benefits of MMCs over metals is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors.

Moreover, there is an increase in the demand for refractory materials, such as tungsten, niobium, rhenium, and molybdenum, across the globe. This, along with the growing demand for durable and high-precision equipment in the electronics industry, is positively influencing the market.

In addition, there is a rise in the utilization of tungsten carbide in heat sinks, resistance welding, and ammunition manufacturing around the world. This, coupled with the increasing employment of MMCs in power electronic modules due to their excellent thermal conductivity, tunable coefficient of thermal expansion, and low density, is propelling the growth of the market.

Apart from this, the growing demand for particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) to manufacture radiator panels, power semiconductor packages, microwave modules, battery sleeves, black box enclosures, and printed circuit board (PCB) heat sinks is offering a favorable market outlook.

Additionally, the increasing production of cellular phones, portable computing devices, and gaming systems is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, the escalating demand for electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions around the world is bolstering the growth of the market.
