Top Factor Driving Molybdenum Market Growth in 2025: Rising Steel Production Fuels Molybdenum Market Growth
"How Big Is the Molybdenum Market Expected to Be, and What Will Its Growth Rate Be?In the past few years, the molybdenum market has been experiencing consistent growth. Its size is set to increase from $4.87 billion in 2024 to $5.11 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. This growth during the historical period can be linked to an increase in steel production, its use in a myriad of industrial operations, rapid urbanization, a surge in demand for military hardware, and more stringent environmental regulations which promotes the use of high-performance materials.
The molybdenum market is projected to experience consistent expansion in the coming years. By 2029, it is forecasted to reach $6.14 billion with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The increase estimated during this forecasted period is credited to factors such as the escalation in construction and infrastructure programs, the rise in automotive manufacturing, greater recycling of products containing molybdenum, and the increasing use of molybdenum in medical apparatus. Furthermore, the capital invested in new or upgraded mining initiatives also contributes to this growth. Notable trends predicted for this period encompass advancements in mining and processing methods, an enhanced focus on sustainability and recycling, increased investment in research and innovation, emerging applications and shifts in regional demand patterns.
What Are the Primary Growth Drivers for the Molybdenum Market?
The expansion of the molybdenum market is anticipated to be stimulated by the growing production of steel. This rise in steel production is motivated by escalating demand in the global construction, automotive, and infrastructure development sectors. Molybdenum, which improves the strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance of steel, is particularly suitable for high-stress applications. It also enhances alloy steels' hardness and weldability. For example, in April 2024, the World Steel Association, a non-profit organisation based in Belgium, reported that Africa's steel production had grown to 1.9 million tons in March 2024, up 1.1% from 2023. Moreover, in 2024, the Middle East produced 4.8 million tons of steel, indicating a 4.0% increase on a year-on-year basis. Hence, the rising steel production serves as a key driver for the growth of the molybdenum market.
