The report recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Silver and Gold-based Brazing Materials Market: Johnson Matthey plc, Lucas-Milhaupt Inc. and MTC Wesgo Metals.

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Aimtek, Bellman-Melcor, Harris Products Group, Indian Solder and Braze Alloys, Linbraze, Materion, Metalli, Oerlikon, Pietro Galliani Brazing, Prince & Izant, Saru Silver Alloy, Sentes-BIR, Stella Welding Alloys, Umicore, VBC Group, Voestalpine Böhler Welding and Wieland Edelmetalle.

The report said: “One of the key trends in the market is the increasing demand for silver and gold-based brazing materials from emerging markets such as China and India for various rapidly growing end-user applications. Silver-based brazing alloys are suitable for the brazing of stainless steel as they are convenient to use and offer lower production costs.”

According to the report, one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the Global Silver and Gold-based Brazing Materials market is the strong demand from the HVAC&R industry. The HVAC&R industry is expected to witness rapid growth in countries such as Brazil, China, and India because of the increased demand for silver-based brazing alloys.

Further, the report states that an increase in the prices of silver and gold has led to a rise in the manufacturing costs of silver and gold-based alloys, increasing the cost of the brazing process for customers. Manufacturers are looking to develop cost-effective brazing alloys, in addition to devising new and efficient ways to apply brazing alloys.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
