Aluminium is a metallic product with a soft finish and is lightweight, ductile, and non-magnetic. Aluminium powder is a silver-white, lightweight, and highly inflammable powder that is produced by grinding the aluminium metal sheet in the presence of a food-grade fatty acid. It can also be obtained by exposing molten aluminium to a compressed gas jet. This powder is available in different forms, including aluminium flake, atomised aluminium, and aluminium pigment powder.
The Indian aluminium powder market is being driven by rapid urbanisation and increasing commercial mining. The market is being driven by the growing commercial mining and rapid urbanisation in the country.

Indian Aluminium Powder Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
In India, aluminium powder is used in multiple industries for various purposes, including metallurgy, chemicals, paints and pigments, explosives, and construction, among others. The product’s wide adoption across its various end-use industries is one of the main factors driving the demand in the market. As aluminium shows high corrosion resistance, it is effective in increasing the lifespan of the product, thus, resulting in increased demand in Indian aluminium powder market. Due to the beneficial properties, easy availability, and affordability of aluminium in India, the industry is witnessing significant growth.
In addition, the use of the product for the manufacture of coating paints has increased, which has further boosted its demand throughout the automotive industry. In addition, it is resistant to corrosion and can be quickly recycled due to which it is a highly durable commodity with a longer lifetime than other metals, which is also positively influencing the market.
Rising demand for aluminium from the additive manufacturing sector, growing emphasis on green manufacturing, and increased applications in the renewable energy sector are some key trends boosting the growth in Indian aluminium powder market.
Aluminium powder exhibits superior strength and light-weight properties which makes it viable in the 3D printing sector. Several end-use sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare, among others, are relying on automotive powder for the production of complex parts. Several major companies in India such as Wipro 3D are further exploring the use of metal powders such as aluminium powder for the 3D printing process, which can further aid the Indian aluminium powder demand. Mahindra & Mahindra announced on August 2023 that it aims to explore the use of more 3D-printed aluminium components in its EVs to reduce their weight and improve overall efficiency, which is expected to fuel the demand for aluminium powder. Additionally, the National Strategy on Additive Manufacturing was launched on 24th February 2022 to revolutionise the additive and manufacturing sector of India, which is further expected to boost the production of 3D printing materials, and consequently fuel the aluminium powder growth.
With the rising adoption of sustainability initiatives across the world, aluminium producers and manufacturers in India are also adopting green practices such as the usage of recycled aluminium powder as well as energy-efficient production of aluminium powder. Around 40% of the aluminium produced in India in 2023 was from recycled materials, which reduced the environmental footprint. Recycled aluminium uses 95% less energy and produces 97% fewer greenhouse gases compared to the standard form of aluminium, which makes it one of the most attractive metals for recycling. It further offers infinite recyclability as it is 100% recyclable, further driving the demand of Indian aluminium powder market. Major companies such as NALCO and Hindalco announced that they aimed to improve their aluminium recycling capacity by 15-20% by 2025, as a part of its broader sustainability goal. Such initiatives showcase a positive trend towards green aluminium powder in the market.
Aluminium powder is finding growing applications in the renewable energy sector through the development of solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage systems, among others. Its favourable corrosion-resistant and lightweight properties make it appropriate for usage in these systems and aid the renewable energy goal of the country. India has set an ambitious target of 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 which is expected to fuel the demand for aluminium which can be used in the development of solar panel frames and have a positive impact on the Indian aluminium powder demand forecast. In March 2023, Tata Power announced that it had received an investment worth USD 486 million from a consortium by BlackRock Real Assets. For instance, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Motors for the development of a 12 MWp solar project at its Pune facility. Under this project, it aims to generate around 17.5 million units of electricity per year, which highlights the role of aluminium powder in reducing production costs.
Aluminium powder is finding rising growth in the aerospace and defence sectors. Efforts for the indigenisation of defence production are gaining an upward trend under the Make in India initiative, which is creating a flourishing landscape for aluminium powder, which can be used in fuel and explosives, and aiding the Indian aluminium powder demand growth. For instance, India's Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) stated in August 2023 that it aims to use Indigenous materials in the production of defence materials. The defence budget of the country was INR 5.94 trillion in the fiscal year 2023-24 and a significant amount of it was allocated for the development of advanced materials such as aluminium powders in defence equipment and goods. Moreover, in February 2023, HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) announced that it aims to expand its manufacturing facility for aircraft components with the use of aluminium-based alloys, which can be often developed from aluminium powder.
Aluminium powder is widely used in the paints and coatings industry for producing metallic finishes, particularly in automotive, decorative, and industrial coatings. The growing demand for high-quality, durable coatings in industries such as automotive, construction, and packaging is driving the demand for aluminium powder in India and contributing to Indian aluminium powder market development.
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is becoming a prominent application for aluminium powder in India, especially in industries like aerospace and automotive. The adoption of 3D printing technology for producing lightweight parts is increasing the demand for high-quality aluminium powder for this purpose.
The high energy consumption in the production of aluminium powder is hindering the market growth. The electricity prices in the country witnessed a surge for the industrial sector in 2022, which made the production of aluminium expensive. Several aluminium providers in the country were affected by this. For instance, NALCO (National Aluminium Company Limited) stated that the high energy costs reduced its profit margins by 18% year-on-year.
As per the Indian aluminium powder industry analysis, the Indian government has imposed strict environmental regulations to control the emission of greenhouse gases which can also affect some market players. For instance, Vedanta Aluminum had to temporarily shut down its operations at one of its smelting units due to environmental violations as per the Supreme Court of India. This led to a drop of 2.5% in its total production output.
