Factors Affecting the Growth of the Molybdenum Industry:
-
High-Performance Alloys Driving Demand in Aerospace & Automotive Sectors:
Molybdenum's heat resistance and strength makes it essential for superalloys used in aerospace engines. These engines must withstand extreme temperatures and pressure. The steel market (global) is expanding and is projected to achieve USD 974.4 Billion by 2024. The expansion of this market will increase demand for molybdenum, which is used to strength high strength steels made, for example, in light weight automotive parts, leading to improved fuel efficiency and crash safety. With that, there is a lot of emphasis on durability and performance within both the aerospace and automotive industries, creating an environment of rapid adoption of molybdenum-based alloys, particularly in electric vehicle battery components and next-generation airplanes.
-
Infrastructure Boom Expanding Construction & Energy Applications:
The global smart infrastructure market is projected to reach USD 179.08B by 2024. As this market grows, so is our dependence on molybdenum to build our world. Molybdenum is utilized to build large-scale infrastructure, such as bridges, skyscrapers, and highways. Molybdenum is so valuable because it is resistant to corrosion while providing strong structural integrity. Molybdenum is now also relevant in the everyday running of power and chemical plants. Molybdenum is utilized in pressure vessels and piping systems designed and fabricated to resist the extreme pressures and stresses of the processing. Projects in green energy and urban infrastructure have increased rapidly, with pressure mounting in developing economies. In these markets, significant pressures are contributing to increasing demand for molybdenum, making the production of infrastructures in a strong, robust, and sustainable manner as critical today as ever.
