Bronze Market

The Global Bronze Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Global Bronze Market size was close to USD 12.6 billion by revenue at the end of 2023. It is estimated to rise at a current compound annual growth rate of 4.83% to reach USD 16.72 billion by the end of 2029. 

MARKET OVERVIEW

Bronze is one of the most remote metals that is known to mankind. It is elucidated as an alloy derived by cooperating copper with other metals, basically tin. Bronze can also be made by combing copper with metals like zinc, arsenic, phosphorus, aluminum, nickel, and manganese. Bronze is achieved as a golden, firm, and brittle metal. It shows characteristics like high ductility and low friction against other metals that make it very much perfect for collaboration with different metals in a number of applications. Furthermore, bronze is a perfect choice to utilize for flammable or explosive materials, as striking it on a hard surface does not produce sparks. Moreover, it offers excellent resistance to corrosion, and has a greater look than brass, owing to a tinge of red color in it.

Right now, the market is led by tin, as almost all the bronze is made with the employment of tin. The strange composition in bronze utilizing tin is 0.6% to 1% tin, 0.02% to 0.34% phosphorous, and majorly copper, which is also known as phosphor bronze. Tin bronze has excellent strength, excellent durability, excellent fatigue resistance, and less coefficient of friction.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

The significant factors driving the expansion of the global bronze market are the rising application of aluminum and phosphor bronze in the making of marine hardware like fasteners, valve components, pipe fittings, heat exchangers, oil & gas platforms, desalination plants, and shipbuilding, where resistance to fatigue and chemical corrosion is needed. The rising consumption of bronze to generate electrical conduit is estimated to fuel the expansion of the worldwide market across the world during the foreseen period.

Nevertheless, the deterioration of bronze owing to oxidization is probable to hinder worldwide market expansion, as businesses have now set up the latest R&D facilities to find better substitutes that could offer good profit margins. Nonetheless, the rising call from the transportation business owing to global business is probable to fuel the call for bronze and create high opportunities for the makers operating in the worldwide market. Escalating calls for bronze from the architectonic, marine, electrical, and automotive industries is predicted to drive the worldwide bronze industry in the foreseen period. The bronze market, especially aluminum and phosphor bronze is estimated to showcase bolstering calls from the growing marine industry for the manufacturing of marine hardware. The escalating popularity of brass for bronze amongst consumers owing to its extreme malleability, ease of casting, pleasing color, and lower cost is predicted to hamper the worldwide bronze industry in the foreseen period. Strict rules against the employment of lead in bronze compositions are probable to restrict the leaded bronze market in the foreseen period
