Abstract The automotive industry is one of the most important markets and main applications of new technolo‐
gies for worldwide powder metallurgy industry. This article introduces the development situations of China′s pow‐
der metallurgy industry, and briefly introduces the developments of auto PM parts market and home appliance
PM parts market in recent years which are the most important markets for powder metallurgy industry in China.
It also briefly introduces the development trend of the global automobile industry responding climate changes, as
well as the development of new energy vehicles in China. The concept of“powder metallurgy+”process is put
forward based on the basic understanding of PM as a“green”technology in PM associations of Europe and Unit‐
ed States, and it is compared that of the raw materials utilization rate and energy consumption per weight finished
products between“powder metallurgy+”and other metal processing processes on the basis of actual measure‐
ment in this article. The results indicate that the“powder metallurgy+”process is a more resource-saving“green
manufacturing”technology. The opportunities and challenges are given for developing China′s powder metallur‐
gy parts industry under“carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”target.
