The global tantalum tubes market size was USD 737.69 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 1176.41 million by 2031 at CAGR 4.78% during the forecast period.

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

Tantalum (Ta) atomic number 73 is a complex, blue-grey, glossy, unique transition metal with exceptional resistance to corrosion. Tantalum is one of the key raw elements for various alloys, therefore the rising need for them in a variety of end-user industries including the automotive, aerospace, and biotechnology industries is anticipated to drive up demand for it.

Tantalum is very useful to the chemical and electronic industries because of its adaptability, high electrical conductivity, and resilience to corrosion. Additionally, the expanding use of tantalum in orthopaedic implants in the medical industry is anticipated to fuel demand for tantalum during the upcoming years. Additionally, it did a great job at constructing radio transmitters out of ultra-high frequency electron tubes.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand

Similar to most other sectors, the worldwide market for tantalum tubes has had to deal with a number of challenges brought on by the occurrence of COVID-19. Along with the significant interruptions to the Tantalum Tube market's supply chains, this pandemic forced some enterprises to close their doors or operate at subpar levels, causing incalculable losses in terms of both money and a shrinking workforce. And this went on for a time, as long as governments in each country imposed strong precautionary limits on the movement of people and products to contain the spread of the disease. However with the gradual relaxation of the restrictions, the aforementioned element, when combined with positive industrial growth projections from all over the world, especially from companies situated in developing countries, is anticipated to dramatically expand new areas of commercial potential throughout the predicted timeframe.

Latest trends

"The increasing utility in aviation industry has facilitated the growth of the market"

The aerospace and the defence industries have been increasingly using tantalum as heat resistant, high-strength material in order to control and regulate various systems such as that of rockets, missiles and jet engines. Therefore the aerospace industry has been fuelling the increase in the demand for such products. Moreover, the aerospace industry has been expanding. For instance, the number of operational commercial aircraft was projected to go up from 7397 to 8270 in 2018. The Indian Aerospace and Defence industry is also projected to expand. Such global developments in the aerospace industry shall spur the tantalum demand due to its utility in engine turbine blades and other such uses.

Driving Factors

"Market has grown as a result of the spike in demand for computers and other electronic devices that employ tiny tantalum capacitors"

Tantalum is mostly used in the electronic industry, which is also anticipated to boost market growth. To make electrical components including semiconductors, capacitors, and some high-power resistors, tantalum is mostly utilised as metal powder. The ability of tantalum to form a maintained surface layer of oxide, which serves as a thin layer of dielectric, is used by tantalum electrolytic capacitors to provide high capacitance in relatively small quantities. Tantalum capacitors' advantages in terms of size and weight draw the attention of producers of consumer electronics for cars, laptops, mobile phones, and cameras. Thus, tantalum is present in some form in more than 75% of electronics. With an increase in global population comes an increase in human dependency on technology. Because of this, it is difficult for any industry to thrive without computers and other electronic devices. This has been fostering the tantalum tubes market growth.

"Increasing application in the chemical industry has fostered the growth of the market"

Tantalum has been found to be a very efficient substitute for stainless steel especially in the chemical industries that are responsible for the production of different kinds of industrial acids. The use of tantalum by such industries has extended the lifespan of their equipment. Therefore, this has increased the demand for such products. Thus, while the chemical industry is on the rise, it is said to drive the market for tantalum tubes as well owing to its use in various processing equipment.

Restraining Factors

"Volatility in price and interruption in supply-demand."

The growth of the market can be hampered by the inconsistencies in rates as it consists of a number of elements such as lithium, molybdenum, indium and niobium. The flexibility and constancy of the supply-chain has been adversely affected due the severe fluctuation in prices of the product. Moreover an embargo on the imports in Central Africa and different mining locations charging different price has only increased the lacuna between supply and demand. For instance, if the tantalum is imported from South America then its price is higher than usual as compared to that produced in Australia
