The demand for rechargeable batteries is projected to witness substantial growth over the next decade, with the EV market expected to surge from approximately 340 GWh in 2022 to around 3,500 GWh by 2030. Cobalt, known for its exceptional conductivity and high strength properties, plays a crucial role in the production of rechargeable battery components. In response to this demand, industry leaders like Solvay and Veolia have formed a circular economy consortium with Groupe Renault, aiming to extract and purify strategic metals from used EV batteries for reuse in new batteries.

However, challenges such as fluctuating raw material prices and insufficient infrastructure leading to irregular cobalt supply could potentially restrain market growth. Cobalt’s manufacturing processes require modern infrastructure, contributing to higher operational expenses and pricing difficulties. These challenges prompt industries to explore cost-effective alternatives, impacting the competitiveness of cobalt in the market.

Form Insights: Chemical Compounds Lead Revenue Share

The global cobalt market is segmented into chemical compounds, metal, and purchased scrap. In 2022, the chemical compound segment dominated, holding the largest revenue share. The demand for cobalt chemical compounds in glass, enamels, and heat-resistant super alloys contributed to this segment’s growth. Cobalt compounds, known for their resistance to corrosion, provide a stable platform for battery components, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of rechargeable batteries.

Product Insights: Cobalt Sulfate Steadily Gains Traction

The cobalt sulfate segment is expected to witness a steadily fast revenue growth rate in the global cobalt market. The rising demand for cobalt in industries such as agriculture and electronics is a key driver. Cobalt sulfate’s ability to facilitate increased battery production, precise control over coloring processes, and applications in various industries, including textiles, positions it as an attractive option for manufacturers.
