29 May 2024 — MMC’s acquisition of H.C. Starck from MHT expands its tungsten portfolio, signaling a global market power shift.

15 July 2022 — H.C. Starck invested USD 52 million in Nyobolt, backing tungsten-intensive batteries as a next-gen energy storage game-changer.

23 September 2022 — Xiamen Tungsten partnered with Chifeng District Gold Mining in Laos, advancing rare earth development and reinforcing China’s critical resource dominance.

“Asia-Pacific Rules Tungsten Today — But Can It Defend Its Crown?”

Asia-Pacific holds the crown in the tungsten market, with China leading as the world’s largest consumer, fueled by a surging aviation sector and strong consumer demand. The region’s dominance extends across cutting tools, electronics, and even jewellery, reinforcing tungsten’s industrial backbone. Yet, momentum is shifting. With aerospace growth accelerating demand for tungsten alloys and mill products rising in electronics, the stage is set for competition. The pressing question: can Asia-Pacific maintain its supremacy, or will a challenger region disrupt the global tungsten balance?

“From China to the US and Europe — Who Seizes the Edge in Tungsten Competition?”

The global tungsten battleground is intensifying, with China’s Xiamen Tungsten Co., Ltd. and CMOC Group Limited competing head-to-head with US players Kennametal Inc., Buffalo Tungsten Inc., and Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. Europe adds force through Plansee SE, H.C. Starck Tungsten GmbH, and Sandvik AB, while Japan’s Nippon Tungsten Co., Ltd. strengthens the mix. With nearly 8% of revenues channelled into R&D, alongside aggressive alliances and product launches, the critical question remains — which player will seize leadership in tungsten’s next industrial race?
