Tungsten Market Current Scenario 2019 | Big Data Analysis, Growth Factors, Emerging Trends, Industry Expansion Strategies By 2027
Market Overview: Tungsten, also known as wolframis, is a naturally occurring chemical element. It exists on the Earth combination with other elements in the form of chemical compounds. Wolframite and Scheelite are the important ores of tungsten. Tungsten is primarily used in manufacturing hard metals based on tungsten carbide which is one of the hardest carbides. On account of its hardness it is widely used in manufacturing wear-resistant abrasives and cutting tools and equipment. This application accounts for more than 50% of the industrial consumption of the tungsten. Additionally, the ability of tungsten carbide to resist abrasion it is widely used in making jewelries. Based on metal, the Global Tungsten Market has been segmented into foils, ribbons, wires, rods, tubes, and sheets & strips. Ribbons segment held the largest market share in 2017 on account of significant use in vast industrial applications and in vapor deposition processes. It is widely used in the electroni
