The powder metal industry, which includes powder forging, hot isostatic pressing, rapid prototyping, spray forming, high-temperature sintering, and injection molding, experienced excellent years in the late 1990s, reaching record levels in 2000, according to the Metal Powder Industries Federation. As with other industries, weak economic conditions in the United States undermined the performance of the powder metals sector in the early 2000s, but sales were strong by the mid-2000s.
The primary metal products industry includes three major groups: metal powders, paste, and flakes; primary metal products such as nonferrous nails, brads, tacks, and staples; and other primary metal products, not specified by kind. The value of primary aluminum products, not specified by kind, totaled $4.878 million in 2005. Refined primary zinc shipments totaled nearly $396 million that year, while primary precious metals and precious metals alloys shipments totaled nearly $846 million, and shipments of primary nonferrous metals, not elsewhere classified, totaled $2.293 billion. At 546,637 short tons, metal powder production for all of North America in 2005 was down slightly from the previous year according to the Metal Powder Industries Federation in a 2006 state-of-the-industry report.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the total value of industry shipments increased substantially from 2002 to 2004, growing from $61.9 billion to $88.8 billion. At the same time, industry employment was reduced from 383,937 workers in 2002 to 349,147 workers in 2004. Of those employees, 268,420 worked in production in 2004, putting in more than 575 million hours for total wages of $11.2 billion.
