Molybdenum Market Overview:

Molybdenum is a silvery-white transition metal, prominent for its resistance to corrosion, strength, and high melting point. It is mainly used as an alloying agent in superalloys and steel, where it remarkably improves toughness, hardness, and heat resistance, increasing its suitability in industries like aerospace, automotive, construction, and energy. The global molybdenum market is likely to expand rapidly, driven by the growth of power and energy infrastructure, adoption in renewable energy technologies, and increasing demand for chemical catalysts. High-performing molybdenum alloys hold applications in offshore drilling equipment, turbines, and pipelines. As global investments in power infrastructure and oil & gas rise, mainly in the Middle East, China, and India, molybdenum demand witnesses notable growth.

Molybdenum Market: Growth Drivers

• Industrial & infrastructure upgrades in India and emerging Asia

Manufacturing and speedy urbanization in ASEAN/India are boosting alloy steel intensity in metro/rail, chemical parks, bridges, food-pharma plants, and refineries. Where uptime and life-cycle cost matter, owners are switching to 316/duplex from 304 and to low-alloy Mo steels from carbon steel to reduce corrosion downtime, mainly in high-chloride water systems and industrial/coastal atmospheres.

• Price & supply dynamics are considerably fueling the market

A majority of molybdenum comes as a by-product of copper mining, which makes the supply sensitive to copper grades/throughput and inelastic to Mo-price. When copper mines reduce output or experience grade declines, Mo supply tightens; however, higher throughput or new copper projects may loosen the molybdenum market. These periods have generated multi-year Mo spikes, which strengthen substitution towards Mo in crucial service and simulate mine-capacity investments.

Molybdenum Market: Segmentation

The global molybdenum market is segmented based on end product, product form, end-user industry, and region.

Based on end product , the global molybdenum industry is split into steel, chemical, foundry, molybdenum metal, and nickel alloys. The steel segment registers more than 60% of global molybdenum production. The metal is largely used in structural steel, stainless steel, and tool steels, where it improves weldability, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance.

Based on product form , the global molybdenum market is divided into molybdenum concentrates, roasted molybdenum (technical oxide), ferromolybdenum, molybdenum metal powder, and molybdenum chemicals. The ferromolybdenum holds the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. It is the highly preferred product form because it is the main additive in steelmaking, particularly in alloy and stainless steels.

Based on end-user industry , the global market is separated into oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, automotive, industrial, building and construction, aerospace and defense, and others. The oil & gas is the dominating segment, capturing the highest share of molybdenum.

Why does Asia Pacific outperform other regions in the global molybdenum market?

Asia Pacific is anticipated to retain its leading role in the global molybdenum market as a result of a strong steel production base, construction growth, speedy urbanization, and expanding energy and oil & gas infrastructure. Asia Pacific holds leadership in the global market because of its massive steelmaking sector, since molybdenum is a primary alloying material in structural and stainless steels.

In 2023, China alone generated more than 1.02 billion metric tons of crude steel, accounting for approximately 54% of the worldwide output, which fuels primary molybdenum consumption. This makes the region the leading consumer of ferromolybdenum used in automotive, construction, and industrial sectors.
