Global PCD Tooling Market Overview:
PCD short form for polycrystalline diamond tools are which used artificially lab-made diamonds for cutting, milling, drilling, and other operations. The lab-made diamonds are made using the process of HT-HP or High temperature and high pressure. The artificial lab made diamonds reduce the cost of high precision cutting tools, as natural diamonds are way more expensive, and hard to be turned into a specific shape to be fitted along with the cutting equipment as well as other cutting applications. Because of the high level of hardness offered by PCD tools, they are ideal for operations on machining and abrasive materials. Common materials on which this tools are used include aluminum, magnesium, etc. The high demand for automotive, aerospace and other cutting operations in industries has led to growth of the PCD tools market. Geographically, Asia Pacific is the biggest market because of rapid industrialization in the region Some of the players profiled in the study are Kennametal, Inc. (United States), Sandvik AB (Sweden), Iljin Diamond Co., Ltd (South Korea), Mitsubishi Materials Corporation (Japan), Carbide Products Inc. (United States), Ssangyong Materials Corporation (South Korea), Shannon Abrasives Ltd. (Ireland), Hyperion Materials and Technologies, Inc. (United States), Chn-Top Sci and Tech Co., Ltd. (China) and GWS Tool Group (United States).
On the basis of geography, the market of PCD Tooling has been segmented into South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), MEA (Middle East, Africa), North America (United States, Canada, Mexico). If we see Market by End Users, the sub-segment i.e. Aerospace and Defence will boost the PCD Tooling market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth. If we see Market by Distribution Channel, the sub-segment i.e. Direct will boost the PCD Tooling market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth.
