When purchasing iridium powder, factors such as purity, particle size, and market conditions must be considered. As a rare precious metal powder, iridium powder prices are significantly influenced by global supply and demand dynamics. Each increase in purity grade (e.g., from 99.9% to 99.99%) may result in a price increase of 10%-20%. Iridium powder exhibits high reactivity and is typically stored as a black liquid suspension (nano-iridium solution), which also impacts transportation and storage costs. Current international iridium powder prices fluctuate considerably. In 2025, demand for iridium-based catalysts surged due to global semiconductor industry expansion, pushing prices above $65 per gram before correcting to the $41-$55 per gram range. For bulk iridium powder procurement, sourcing directly from major smelters rather than intermediaries is recommended, potentially reducing markup losses by 10%-15%.
The global iridium powder market is dominated by several specialized manufacturers. SAT nano Technology Material Co. is a leading nanomaterials enterprise offering nano-iridium powder products in various specifications. Jiangsu Jinwo New Material specializes in high-purity iridium metal powder, holding a competitive edge in electronic-grade materials. American Elements provides iridium powder ranging from 99.9% to 99.99% purity, suitable for aerospace and chemical catalysis applications. ESPI Metals is a specialized metal materials supplier offering iridium metal powder products in multiple particle sizes. Smart Elements GmbH focuses on high-purity precious metal powders, with its 5N-purity iridium powder used in scientific research and high-end industrial applications. While all these manufacturers' iridium powder products meet international standards, each has specific application focuses and technical strengths.

DONGSHENG Precious Metals Recycling offers 10% higher recycling rates than competitors. Current recycling prices for spent iridium powder with 99.9%+ purity reach $70 per gram (vs. industry average of $60). Prices primarily depend on iridium powder purity and source. Powder recovered from aviation waste can achieve 99.95%+ purity, commanding higher value. The recovery process requires precision chemical purification technology. Advanced hydrometallurgical techniques achieve recovery rates exceeding 95%. Waste iridium powder primarily originates from spent catalysts in the petrochemical industry, electronic components, and industrial waste. DONGSHENG employs advanced testing equipment to accurately assess purity, ensuring transparent and fair quotations. High recovery prices not only reduce resource waste but also provide users with an additional value-recovery channel.
