A recent report published by Infinium Global Research on the cobalt market provides an in-depth analysis of segments and sub-segments in the global as well as regional cobalt market. The study also highlights the impact of drivers, restraints, and macro indicators on the global and regional cobalt market over the short term as well as long term. The report is a comprehensive presentation of trends, forecast and dollar values of global cobalt market. According to the report, the global cobalt market is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR over the forecast period of 2018-2024.
Cobalt is the chemical element
with atomic number 27. On the periodic table, cobalt can originate among the
d-block elements, transition metals. Cobalt has high melting and boiling points
that helps to retain its strength at high temperatures. Cobalt is recovered as
a byproduct of mining and refining of nickel, silver, led, copper and iron.
Cobalt is an important technology enabling metal that is vastly used in the
various application where energy storage, high-temperature resilience, hardness,
and process efficiency are required. Cobalt is used for a number of industrial
and biological applications.
According to the Cobalt
Institute, around 50% of the cobalt produced globally is found in rechargeable
batteries. Cobalt with its components plays a vital role in the construction of
lithium-ion batteries. The growing use of lithium-ion batteries in the in
several applications are driving the growth cobalt market. In the integrated
circuits, the cobalt is used as contacts that connect different components of
an integrated circuit owing to its unique physicochemical properties. Thus,
this factor is contributing to the growth of the cobalt market Furthermore,
copper is being replaced by the cobalt in the integrated circuits that
anticipated to boost the growth of the cobalt market.
Cobalt is a bio-essential element
due to its location at the center of vitamin B12. According to Cobalt
Institute, Vitamin B12 plays a number of vital roles in the physiology of the
human body. Cobalt is also important in treatments of radiotherapy. In addition,
cobalt is also used in the detection of tumors and metastases, sterilization of
surgical equipment and the imaging of damage to the brain. The various
biomedical applications contribute to the growth of the cobalt market. However,
a wide number of human health, environmental, trade, and energy regulations on
the use of cobalt are hampering the growth of the cobalt market. Additionally,
Semiconductor equipment vendor is taking the initiative to use the cobalt in semiconductor manufacturing. The growing awareness about sustainable and
renewable energy is also helping to create more growth opportunities in the
cobalt market in upcoming years.
Regionally, Asia Pacific holds
the maximum market share in the cobalt market. It is also and fastest growing region
in this market. The rapidly growing consumer electronics and automotive
industries in the Asia Pacific creates a huge demand for the cobalt. Thus,
these factors are driving the growth of the cobalt market in the Asia Pacific
region. In addition, increasing applications of cobalt in the Oil & Gas,
Chemical, Construction, and transport are contributing to the growth of the
cobalt market in this region. Additionally, the growing use of cobalt in
semiconductor manufacturing is fueling the growth of this market in the Asia
Pacific region.
