Freedonia Market Research Press Releases Two Scenarios for US Cobalt Demand to 2022

Two Scenarios for US Cobalt Demand to 2022

by Corinne Gangloff

April 24, 2018

Cleveland, OH, April 24, 2018 — US demand for cobalt is forecast to see minimal annual growth to 2022, according to the baseline scenario projected in Cobalt: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. The optimistic scenario envisions much stronger annual growth in US cobalt demand. This latter scenario assumes the following conditions:

  • Tesla and other battery manufacturers would have to meet production targets and make battery cells in the US from battery cathode material also made in the country.
  • US battery material producers must have good access to global cobalt supplies.
  • Global cobalt suppliers must be able to expand to meet demand.

These and other key insights are featured in Cobalt: United States. This report forecasts to 2022 US cobalt demand in metric tons of cobalt content. Total demand is segmented by form in terms of:

  • metal
  • chemical compounds
  • purchased scrap

Total demand is also segmented by application as follows:

  • superalloys
  • chemicals and ceramics
  • cemented carbides
  • other applications such as alloys, steels, and electronic components

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2007 to 2017.
