Type (Iron-Based ODS, Nickle-Based ODS, Chromium-Based ODS, Aluminum-Based ODS, Others)
The aluminum-based ODS segment is predicted to account for 40% share of the global oxide dispersion strengthened alloys market during the forecast period. Excellent heat resistance and conductivity are characteristics of aluminum oxide dispersion. With its high conductivity, it remains firm even under extreme heat. ODS has high strength and high conductivity characteristics that set it apart from other copper alloys. As a result, it has been utilized as an electrode material for resistance welding and spot welding of electric vehicles, relay contacts, and different electronic parts, including heat-resistant substrates, and so on. Hence, further with the growth demand for electric vehicles, the segment is surging. For instance, Global sales of electric vehicles exceeded about 9 million in 2022, and this year's sales are predicted to increase by another over 34% to approximately 13 million. The dispersion of oxide and other particles is one reason why aluminum-based ODS alloys have improved creep resistance.
End-Use Industry (Aerospace, Marine, Chemical, Energy, Others)
The aerospace segment is predicted to account for 40% share of the global oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys market during the forecast period. The increasing need for commercial aircraft is driving the aerospace segment’s strong expansion. The increased middle-class population is another major factor driving this demand boom, which is especially noticeable in emerging markets and results in higher passenger travel.
