Cobalt Market Share | Trends, Comprehensive Research Study, Development Status, Opportunities, Future Plans, Competitive Landscape

April 25, 2022

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 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 Market Share 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.
