The tungsten wire market dynamics and trends are driven by its extensive applications across multiple industries, such as automotive, electronics, semiconductors, and medical fields. Tungsten wire is commonly utilised in lamps, heaters, electrodes, and printers. Additionally, tungsten filaments are employed in ultrahigh-temperature halogen lamps and thermionic emitters. Tungsten sheets and plates find use in heaters, heat spreaders, sintering boats, spacers, weights, and various jigs and tools.
In addition, tungsten sheets are used during the production of sintering boats due to their fine cutting, blending, and sputtering abilities. Hence, increasing demand for tungsten from all these application sectors is expected to be a key driver for the market. Over the forecast period, the adoption of advanced technology is anticipated to drive the growth of the tungsten wire industry.
The U.S. semiconductor industry commands a dominant 48% share of the global market in 2022, maintaining its leadership position. This dominance is attributed to its strong focus on R&D, design, and manufacturing process technology. Korea follows with a 19% market share, while Japan and Europe each hold 9%. Taiwan and China hold 8% and 7% shares, respectively, contributing to the tungsten wire industry revenue. Tungsten wire is valued in semiconductor equipment for its reliability and performance in electrical contacts and electrodes, which are essential for precise and efficient operation.
Korea, while second in global market share, still lags significantly behind the U.S. by 29 percentage points. The combined market share of Japan and Europe is equal to Korea's, highlighting the fragmented nature of competition beyond the leading U.S. position. Taiwan and China, with shares under 10%, reflect the emerging but not yet dominant status of these regions in the global semiconductor market.
As per industry reports, sensor unit shipments are projected to experience robust growth from 2020 to 2026. In 2020, shipments were more than 28 billion units, increasing to more than 30 billion units in 2021. The upward trend continues with 34.9 billion units in 2022 and 40 billion units in 2023. By 2024, shipments are expected to reach 42.4 billion units, escalating to 47.5 billion units in 2025. The forecast for 2026 indicates a significant jump to 54.8 billion units, reflecting strong demand and technological advancements driving the sensor market, and hence driving the tungsten wire demand growth.
Furthermore, India's electronics domestic production, including components, has consistently increased its contribution to GDP from FY17 to FY26E. The upward trend continues with 2.7% in FY20 and 2.8% in FY21. This growth underscores the expanding role of electronics manufacturing in India's economic landscape, driven by increased investment and policy support aimed at boosting domestic production capabilities, and thus supporting the tungsten wire market revenue.
