Why Tungsten? Why Now?

As of 2025, the global tungsten market is projected to experience significant growth. Estimates suggest that the market size will reach approximately USD $5.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand to well over USD $10 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% during the forecast period. ​ Several key developments are influencing the tungsten industry:​

Geopolitical Factors Are Driving the Growth

  • ~50% of the world’s known tungsten reserves are in China, which also accounts for 84% of global mine production. Currently, there is no North American supply.
  • Resource nationalism from China and Russia could remove 87% of the world’s tungsten supply from the market, posing a significant risk to global supply chains.
  • The United States enacted the Reeshare Act, which prohibits the use of Chinese tungsten in U.S. military equipment by 2027.
  • The U.S. has not produced tungsten domestically since 2015 and now policymakers in Washington, D.C., are scrambling to secure supply from friendly trade partners.

Tungsten (W): The Irreplaceable Critical Mineral

Tungsten (W): The Irreplaceable Critical Mineral

Tungsten is a rare and vital mineral with extraordinary properties, making it indispensable across industries. It’s incredibly hard, heavy, and dense, boasting the highest melting and boiling points of any metal. Its exceptional strength, resistance to oxidation, and environmentally friendly nature make it a go-to material for high-performance applications.

Why is Tungsten Critical?

  • Recognized as a critical mineral by leading economies, including the EU, USA, and Australia, due to supply risks and economic importance.
  • 87% of global production comes from just two countries: China & Russia, creating supply chain vulnerabilities.
  • U.S. Department of Defense and NATO face shortages due to trade restrictions with major producers.

Industrial Machinery

Tungsten carbide is the backbone of robotic arms, industrial machines, and precision cutting tools, ensuring unmatched durability and efficiency.

Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Each EV contains ~2kg of tungsten, and demand is rising with the adoption of tungsten-niobium batteries, increasing usage up to 2.5kg per vehicle.

Semiconductors & AI

Tungsten hexafluoride gas is a core ingredient in semiconductor production, making it a key driver of the AI revolution.

Defense & Military

Due to its unmatched hardness and density, tungsten is essential in armor, missiles, bullets, and advanced military tech.
