Cobalt Market : Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2027
Market Research Future (MRFR’s) latest report
reveals that the value of global cobalt market will stand at over USD 9900 Mn
by the year 2023 up from USD 6200.4 million in 2017. A substantial rise in
demand for cobalt has been noticed in recent years owing to its increased usage
in electronic and automotive manufacturing sectors. In terms of volume, the
market is expected to reach close to 153.4 KT towards the end of the assessment
period (2018-2023).
The Cobalt Market is
projected to witness a healthy growth over the next couple of years. One of the
major factors driving the growth of the market is the rising demand for
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Cobalt is a key raw material in lithium ion
battery manufacturing. Most of the modern electronic products are based on
battery support systems where lithium ion batteries find high preference owing
to their superior performance and easy compatibility. At the same time, rising
electric vehicle trends are also partly fuelling the demand for lithium ion
batteries. The increased emphasis on shifting to vehicles running on
clean-energy owing to growing concerns over CO2 emission from use of
traditional fossil fuel for power generation is reflecting favourably on the
market. Cobalt demand is likely to remain concentrated in battery
manufacturing.
Cobalt is also used in manufacturing several types of metal
alloys such as magnetic alloys, superalloys and wear-resistant alloys. Cobalt
has high-temperature resistance and a high melting point which makes it an apt
material for products that incur frequent heating. Moreover, the tough nature
of the material also means that cobalt-based product can endure a certain
degree of rough-handling. Cobalt-based superalloys are used in gas turbines,
spacecraft, rocket motors, nuclear reactors, power plants, and chemical
equipment. However, the high cost of mining and refining of cobalt is likely to
have an impact on investor confidence in the cobalt industry.
Global Cobalt
Market: Regional Analysis
The cobalt market has been covered across regions such as North
America, Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, the Middle East & Africa (MEA) and
South America. Asia Pacific is a highly active cobalt market, with China
topping the list as the most attractive investment destination. While the
African nation Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo) remains the largest
producers of cobalt, China takes the lead when it comes to refining and
processing of the metal. Moreover, China has also emerged as the major
electronic device manufacturing hub, making it an important market for various
industrial materials including cobalt.

Global Cobalt
Market: Segmental Analysis
MRFR’s report also comprises an in-depth segmental analysis of
the global cobalt market based on application and form. Based on application,
the market is segmented into battery chemicals, super alloys, ceramic and
pigments, hard metals, magnets, binder materials, life science, and others. The
battery chemicals segment currently accounts for the leading share of the
market. This is primarily owing to the extensive use of cobalt in manufacturing
rechargeable batteries for portable electronics devices (such as mobile phones,
laptops, and tablets and e-mobility vehicles such as electric vehicles, hybrid
vehicles, electric trains, and electric bikes). Sales of consumer electronic
devices remains on an upward trajectory as digitization trends become more
prominent. On the basis of form, the market has been segmented into metal,
chemical compound, and purchased scrap. Among these, the chemical compound
segment is expected to retain the top position over 2023. Cobalt based chemical
compounds find widespread usage in manufacturing of rechargeable batteries.
They are also used as a colorant for porcelain, glass, pottery, tiles, and
enamel wear.
