The master alloys market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period in terms of value. The increasing demand for titanium alloys in an array of industries is driving the growth of the global master alloys market. Titanium alloy, a high-performance material, is gaining more traction in the aerospace industry due to its superior mechanical properties. As a result of the changing designs of civil aircraft, the consumption of titanium alloys per aircraft is increasing rapidly. Master alloys being an integral part of titanium alloy manufacturing, and the prevailing trend of titanium alloys in aircraft manufacturing is likely to drive the growth of the global master alloys market. Moreover, superalloys are used in industries such as aerospace, for the manufacturing of aircraft engines and components; automotive, for engine components; chemical process, for various processing equipment; marine, for submarine applications in the manufacturing of turbines; and in pipelines in offshore drilling applications. The increasing demand for superalloys in these industries, coupled with the growth of the end-use industries, is likely to boost the demand for master alloys during the forecast period.

However, the fragmentation of the market, resulting in declining margins and the sluggish growth of the steel industry, might hamper the growth of the global master alloys market.
