The global molybdenum market size reached 5,589 Tons in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach 6,596 Tons by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6% during 2023-2028.
Molybdenum is a silvery-white, highly ductile and corrosion-resistant metal offering excellent strength and mechanical stability at high temperatures. It is widely used in rotating X-ray anodes that further find application in clinical diagnostics, glass melting furnace electrodes and sprayed coatings of automotive piston rings and machine components to reduce friction. It is also utilized in the production of components that are resistant to molten glass and heat sinks with thermal expansivity. At present, the burgeoning oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical, construction, aerospace, and defense sectors are positively influencing the demand for molybdenum across the globe.
