HIGH PURITY IRON MARKET OVERVIEW

The global High Purity Iron Market size stood at USD 0.09 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 0.15 billion by 2034 at an estimated CAGR of 6.33% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States High Purity Iron Market size is projected at USD 0.02864 billion in 2025, the Europe High Purity Iron Market size is projected at USD 0.02714 billion in 2025, and the China High Purity Iron Market size is projected at USD 0.01898 billion in 2025.

A form of iron known as HPI has been thoroughly refined to eliminate any impurities. This kind of iron is crucial for various processes, including the production of medications and medical equipment. Is a unique form of iron that has been thoroughly cleaned to get rid of any carbon traces. Additionally, because it contains more carbon than conventional iron, it resists rusting and is better suited for high-temperature applications.

The market is expanding because to the high purity iron's several benefits, including its resistance to heat, impacts, and corrosion. It is divided into high purity iron billets, electrolytic iron, and other types and contains more than 99.9% iron. It can be utilised in high technology as well as handcrafts because of its excellent purity qualities. Additionally, high purity iron powder is employed in chemical applications including iron salts and magnetic paints.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

The COVID-19 emerged Lockdown to alter the production

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

One of the industries that was negatively impacted was high purity iron. In 2021, the epidemic began to spread globally, infecting a sizeable section of the global populace. Major nations all over the world imposed work stoppage orders and foot limitations, which caused a significant slowdown in the sales of high purity iron powder and heavy losses for the makers. Some businesses in this market have had to permanently close their doors as a result of Covid-19. The market will begin to pick up steam once the lockdown has been lifted.

LATEST TRENDS

Steady Demand for Soft Magnetic Materials to Bolster the Demand

High purity iron powder is utilised particularly in solenoids, inductors, electric motor components, ignition system components, and other soft magnetic applications. Rapid electrification is taking place in the automotive sector. Additionally, as essential components of EVs and hybrid electric cars, the demand for electrical operating systems and electric power equipment has expanded (hEVs). Transformers and motors use magnetic coils with an iron core and a copper winding. Manufacturers are putting their efforts into creating soft magnetic iron powder with better AC magnetic properties.

• According to the Japan Iron and Steel Federation, the use of high purity iron in battery technologies rose by 18% in 2024 due to the surge in electric vehicle production.

• The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported a 12% increase in research grants focused on nanostructured high purity iron alloys for improved performance in aerospace applications.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Utilization in the Pharmaceutical Industry to Boost the Market Demand

Numerous applications are promoting market expansion. It is used to make iron salts and medications that contain iron supplements in sectors like the pharmaceutica lindustry. The use of infant formula and other dietary supplements is frequently recommended by doctors.

One of the key components of these medical medications with clinical approval is iron. Iron salts such ferrous sulphate, ferrous fumarate, ammonium ferrous citrate, iron pellets, iron gluconate, ferric chloride, and more are made from HPI powder. Additionally, as government measures to combat iron deficiency have grown, pharmaceutical companies have produced more iron supplements, with HPI powder being in great demand.

Preference for Fortified Foods Fueling HPI Powder Utilization to Inflate the Demand

The most common and pervasive nutritional problem is iron insufficiency, which is also the only nutrient deficiency that is considerably present in industrialised nations. Food fortification uses food grade, high purity, bio-available iron powder that has been certified by the FCC. The food industry is changing rapidly to meet the growing demand as the world's population rises; it is predicted that there will be 9.7 billion people on the planet by 2050.

The animal feed sector, whose expansion is still influenced by higher productivity yield and affordable animal protein demand, offers a unique use for HPI powder. The market for food grade iron, which was valued at US$ 4.3 million in 2018, is predicted to grow to US$ 6.9 million by the end of 2026. The need for food grade, HPI powder is anticipated to increase in the next years due to increased iron deficiency and the availability of food variety rich in iron.

• According to report, over 60% of high purity iron demand growth is driven by the semiconductor industry's need for contamination-free materials.

• Trade and Industry (METI), Japan, states that technological advancements in magnetic sensor manufacturing have increased the demand for iron purity levels above 99.95% by 22% since 2022.
