According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Iron Powder for Friction market size was valued at US$ 211 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 269 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.8% during review period.
Global sales of Iron Powder for Friction was about 240550 tons in 2024 with average price of 830 USD/ton. Upstream, it is made from iron/steel feedstock via routes such as reduction (sponge iron powder), water atomization, electrolysis, or carbonyl decomposition, followed by sieving/classification and (sometimes) surface treatment. Key product controls often include particle size distribution (PSD), morphology/porosity, apparent density, and chemistry/impurity limits. The average gross margin of the industry ranges from 15%-20%.
Iron Powder for Friction refers to iron-based powders specifically engineered as functional constituents in friction materials (e.g., brake pads, brake linings, clutch facings) and sintered friction parts. Unlike general-purpose iron powder, it is optimized to deliver stable friction behavior, controlled wear, and consistent processing performance during mixing, molding/pressing, curing, or sintering.
