According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Polycrystalline Diamond Market," The polycrystalline diamond market was valued at $900.60 million in 2022, and is estimated to reach $1.6 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2023 to 2032.
The industrial use of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is predicted to increase, which is further expected to support the market growth. Polycrystalline diamond is appropriate for a variety of industrial applications due to its superior hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity. PCD is often used in cutting tools and machining for industrial processes like turning, milling, and drilling. There has been an increase in demand for polycrystalline diamond in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and oil & gas drilling in the last few years. The automotive industry has been driven to utilize precision polycrystalline diamond cutters for accurately cutting engine components due to the environmental concerns and customers' desire to reduce fuel consumption to save money. Polycrystalline diamond tools are also becoming more popular owing to the increase in demand for high precision processing to minimize frictional noise and noise reduction requirements in both luxury and entry-level autos. In addition, one of the primary factors for polycrystalline diamond significance is its higher hardness and wear resistance when compared to other materials. PCD's main component, diamond, is the hardest known substance, and PCD inherits this attribute from diamond. PCD is resistant to wear, abrasion, and scratching due to its hardness, making it excellent for use in cutting, drilling, and grinding equipment. All these factors are projected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
One of the major limitations for the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) market growth is its high cost. PCD is a synthetic material that needs a difficult and costly production process that involves exposing diamond particles to high temperatures and pressure. This method might result in high production costs, making PCD equipment and components prohibitively costly for various applications. These are the factors predicted to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
Polycrystalline diamond, offers a wide range of industrial uses, including cutting and drilling of hard and abrasive materials. PCD cutters are utilized in the oil & gas sector for drilling, mining activities for cutting rock formations, and semiconductor and optical component manufacturing. PCD has the ability to increase the performance and efficiency of many industrial processes because of its unique features. The increasing demand for durable and high-quality cutting tools presents a significant opportunity for growth of the polycrystalline diamond market. Moreover, advancements in additive manufacturing technologies have opened up new opportunities for PCD coatings on orthopedic implants and medical devices. Several companies are investing in the development of PCD technologies to benefit from these opportunities.PCD is an excellent material for cutting, drilling, and grinding tools as well as for incredibly precise applications where durability and precision are crucial. In addition, factors such as increased exploration activities and focus on the development of new oil & gas reserves are expected to contribute to the polycrystalline diamond drill bits market size. In addition, PCD polishing tools are used to polish marble and other fine stone surfaces, while PCD tool inserts are utilized in machines to engrave ceramics and high-speed metal. All these factors are projected to drive the market expansion during the forecast period.
The polycrystalline diamond market has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in sectors that have been adversely affected like aerospace, oil & gas, automotive, and construction. Due to the pandemic's impact on production and consumption activities slowing down, there is a decreased demand for polycrystalline diamond products in these industries. The pandemic made it challenging for manufacturers to obtain the raw materials and components they need to make polycrystalline diamond products. This resulted in a lack of supply and price changes, which further affected the market expansion.
