Molybdenum Market Outlook, Size, Trends, Report 2023-2028

The escalating requirement for the product in the steel industry to improve hardenability, resilience, and tensile strength is primarily driving the molybdenum market.

How Big is The Molybdenum Market?

The global molybdenum market size reached 5,589 Tons in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 6,596 Tons by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6% during 2023-2028.

What is Molybdenum?

Molybdenum, an oxidation-resistant metal with a silver-toned appearance, possesses exceptional malleability and offers remarkable mechanical stability, particularly at high temperatures. Its versatile applications include serving as rotating X-ray anodes in clinical diagnostics, as electrodes in glass melting furnaces, and as sprayed coatings on automotive piston rings and machine components to reduce friction. Furthermore, molybdenum finds its utility in the production of components that are resistant to molten glass and in the creation of heat sinks with specific thermal expansion characteristics. Presently, the expanding sectors of oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, construction, aerospace, and defense are significantly driving the global demand for this metal.
