Cobalt Market Growth Accelerates with 9% CAGR, Set to Hit 250.92 Kilo Tons by 2030
๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฒCobalt, a key component in lithium-ion batteries, is essential for various high-tech applications, including cutting tools, magnetic materials, and petrochemical catalysts. The metal's primary source is as a by-product of nickel, with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) dominating global production. In 2023, the DRC contributed around 69% of the world's cobalt supply, translating to a trade value of $1.91 billion out of a total global trade of $4.83 billion.
The surge in cobalt demand is closely tied to the electric vehicle sector. With EV sales expected to grow by 30% annually, cobalt's role in battery production is becoming increasingly crucial. This trend has also bolstered interest in cobalt futures, which saw an open interest notional value of around $100 million by early July 2024.

The cobalt market is witnessing notable shifts in battery technology. Lithium-Cobalt Oxide (LCO) batteries, an early generation of lithium-ion batteries, are commonly used in portable devices but are gradually being overshadowed by newer technologies due to their shorter lifespan and limited load capacity.
In contrast, Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) batteries, which contain up to 15% cobalt, offer superior lifespan and energy density, making them suitable for electric vehicles and medical devices. Similarly, Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (NCA) batteries, with around 9% cobalt, are gaining traction in high-energy applications, notably in electric powertrains for Tesla vehicles.

Cobalt supply is largely concentrated, with the DRC leading global reserves followed by Australia and Cuba. Despite its widespread distribution, cobalt is primarily sourced from copper and nickel-associated ores, with primary cobalt ores accounting for a minor portion of global supply.
The market is also grappling with environmental and ethical concerns surrounding cobalt mining, especially in the DRC. In response, there is a growing emphasis on recycling to mitigate supply shortfalls. Currently, recycling contributes about 10 kilo tons of supply, with projections indicating increased recycling activities in line with rising cobalt prices.

The global cobalt market is set to experience robust expansion in the coming years, driven by the booming electric vehicle (EV) industry and advancements in battery technology. According to recent market analysis, cobalt demand, which stood at 137.26 kilo tons in 2023, is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%, reaching approximately 250.92 kilo tons by 2030.

The African region, led by the DRC, dominates the cobalt market, supplying over 71% of the global demand. North America, with Canada holding significant reserves, is also becoming a focal point for new exploration and production initiatives. Companies like Cobalt Blue Holdings and First Cobalt are actively working to boost production and refine processes in response to growing market needs.
In addition to expanding mining activities, the industry is seeing increased efforts from major companies to source cobalt responsibly. BMW, for example, has committed $110 million to source cobalt from Morocco, aiming to reduce reliance on the DRC and enhance supply chain transparency.
