Aluminum Powder Market Analysis 2020-2027:

Aluminum powder, grinded aluminum metal, can be found in four powder forms such as aluminum flake, atomized aluminum, aluminum paste, and aluminum pigment. It exhibits wide range of properties, including weightlessness, odor-free, and high flammability. When aluminum powder reacts with water, strong acids, and bases, it produces extremely flammable hydrogen gas. Aluminum powder is used in the making of sealants, sparkles & glitters, aerated autoclave concrete, paints, reflective roof coating, and printing inks. Furthermore, it is used in production of fireworks and explosives.

Market scope and structure analysis

COVID-19 impact analysis

• The global market for aluminum powder is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
• Decline in demand from pulp and paper industries, owing to social distancing norms and extended lockdown is expected to hamper the market growth. As consumers in most of the residential areas stopped purchasing newspapers and magazines to prevent the rapid spread of the pandemic, the paper industry is expected to face a temporary downfall.
• The demand for textile merchandise abroad and domestic sales have come back right down to a crushing halt due to the panic state of affairs created by the COVID-19 outbreak.
• Asia-Pacific is highly affected, due to the effect of the pandemic in China, Japan, and India. Automotive, construction, and firework industries are highly affected, leading to decrease in demand for aluminum powder.
• The chemical industry has been mostly affected due to COVID-19 outbreak. The chemical industry plays an important role in the manufacturing of products such as plastic, fertilizers, medicines, and packaging products. Spread of COVID-19 across the globe is likely to impact the demand for chemicals extremely.

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis
