Global Cobalt Market is expected to exhibit a strong CAGR of more than 8% over the forecast period from 2019 to 2027, according to the latest research report from Market Research Future (MRFR). The Global Cobalt Market is expected to rise to a valuation of USD 13.6 billion by the end of 2027, according to the report. The report presents a detailed profile of the Global Cobalt Market, including an analysis of the market’s major drivers and restraints and key players operating in the market. Studied forecasts regarding the market’s growth over the forecast period are given in the report.
Cobalt is a metal usually found in a chemically combined form with other elements. Cobalt often occurs in conjunction with nickel and copper and is thus obtained by reductive smelting of these ores. Most of the cobalt obtained around the world is obtained as a byproduct of nickel and copper refining. Pure metallic cobalt is a hard, lustrous, grey metal and is traditionally used in several industrial applications. The use of cobalt in high-temperature superalloys has been a major application channel for the Global Cobalt Market over the years. These high-temperature superalloys are majorly used in jet turbines. The growth of the aviation and aerospace industry has thus been a major driver for the global cobalt market over the last few decades. Cobalt is also used in stainless steel production, medical prosthetics, cemented carbides, and other hard-facing products.
The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries has been a major driver for the Cobalt Market over the last few years. The market for lithium-ion batteries has exploded in recent years with the development of several applications for the same, including in consumer electronics and electric vehicles. The growing electric vehicle industry is likely to be a major driver for the Global Cobalt Market over the forecast period. The demand for electric vehicles is likely to grow over the forecast period due to the growing government support to the sector. Increasing environmental consciousness among automotive consumers is also likely to be a major driver for the electric vehicles market over the forecast period.
