Global Cobalt Market Research Report

Cobalt is a naturally occurring magnetic metal with excellent properties than any other metal to retain its magnetism at high temperature. With increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicle (EV) industry, prices for cobalt have started witnessing an overall upward trend since 2016. Also, the cobalt market is expected to witness a gap between demand and supply owing to constructive developments in the rechargeable battery industry. Moreover, as demand for cobalt appears fairly inelastic due to less influence of its substitutes to meet equivalent productivity, in coming years, it will become vital for stakeholders associated with the cobalt market to bridge this demand-supply gap to keep the market attractiveness on the positive side.

 

Asia-Pacific is the dominatingthe cobalt market in terms of consumptions driven by ambitious goals of China and Japan for strengthening electric vehicle market in their respective regions. Currently, Asia-Pacific is observing lucrative market opportunities for cobalt and is projected to grow at the fastest growth rate between 2017 and 2022.
