2026-03-26 13:20
Summary of Tungsten Market Insights and Future Outlook Industry Overview - The tungsten supply structure has undergone a fundamental transformation, with the recycling rate of tungsten scrap increasing from 10% in 2010 to over 40% by 2025, becoming a core method to compensate for the gap in primary tungsten ore supply [1][2][3]. - By 2025, the supply of primary tungsten ore is expected to decrease to 136,000 tons due to resource depletion, while total demand will rise to 266,000 tons, resulting in a substantial supply-demand gap of 18,000 tons that will drive prices significantly higher [1][2]. Key Demand Drivers - Tungsten consumption in cutting tools accounts for 42.8% of total tungsten consumption, serving as a primary engine for demand growth. Other sectors such as diamond wire tungsten, industrial robots, and military applications are also experiencing triple-digit growth [1][4][5]. - The demand for tungsten has shown significant growth in both traditional and emerging sectors, with notable increases in automotive production (9.69%), integrated circuits (115%), and industrial robots (278%) from 2021 to 2025 [4]. Supply Dynamics - China has transitioned from a net exporter to a net importer of tungsten, with net imports expected to reach approximately 28,000 tons by 2025. This shift, coupled with stricter export controls, has intensified global supply constraints, with reliance on overseas tungsten scrap increasing to 65.8% [1][12]. - The supply of primary tungsten ore has been declining since 2023, with projections indicating a drop from 163,300 tons in 2023 to 136,500 tons in 2025. This decline is attributed to the closure of older mines due to resource depletion [6][19]. Price Trends and Market Behavior - The initial price surge in early 2026 was driven by downstream companies stockpiling materials, creating a "false demand." This adjustment is expected to last 2-3 weeks, with prices anticipated to rise slowly and healthily throughout the year [1][8][19]. - Recent fluctuations in tungsten scrap prices have mirrored those of primary tungsten ore, indicating a close relationship between the two markets. The price volatility is not indicative of a fundamental change in the recycling environment [8][10]. Future Outlook - The tungsten market is expected to maintain a supply gap in 2026-2027, but this gap is projected to narrow compared to 2025. New domestic mines and increased imports from sources like the Bakuta tungsten mine in Russia are anticipated to contribute to supply growth [7][20]. - By 2028, with the release of new capacities from projects like Xiamen Tungsten's and Zhongtung High-Tech's upgrades, the supply-demand balance may improve [1][20]. Global Context - Globally, the recycling rate of tungsten scrap is high due to the scarcity of primary ore resources. By 2025, the actual utilization of tungsten scrap in foreign markets is expected to exceed 50% of total demand, with significant reliance on scrap from China [11][12]. - The absolute recovery amounts of tungsten scrap in China are projected to be higher than those in foreign markets, with domestic recovery expected to reach 109,000 tons by 2025 compared to approximately 79,000 tons abroad [13][14]. Market Participation and Challenges - The tungsten scrap market is characterized by numerous small participants, making it susceptible to price fluctuations. Recent market conditions have led to a scarcity of available scrap due to speculative behaviors among buyers and sellers [18]. - The recovery rates for different tungsten products vary significantly, with some applications yielding low recovery rates, while others, such as high-speed tool steel, have higher recovery potential [22][23]. Conclusion - The tungsten market is poised for continued growth driven by increasing demand across various sectors, despite challenges in primary ore supply. The dynamics of scrap recovery and market behavior will play crucial roles in shaping future price trends and supply stability.
