According to the report, there are only a few cobalt resources in China, the total reserve of cobalt ores in China is 470 kilotons, so it heavily depends on imports. China’s import of cobalt ores and concentrates increased from 100.99 kilotons in 2017 to 136.10 kilotons in 2018, and then decreased to 90.89 tons in 2019, with a large fluctuation.

In the first half of 2020, the import volume was only 26.81 tons in China, less than one-third of that in the whole year of 2019 due to COVID-19. Cobalt minerals occur in concentrations high enough to support economic extraction in several diverse settings, all of which display very different examples of mineralization. The most common groups of minerals are sulphides, sulfosalts, arsenides and oxides.

It shows oligopoly in terms of cobalt resources. The market share of the three top companies was up to 40%. The global upstream cobalt resources are mainly controlled by multinational mining enterprises such as Glencore, Molybdenum, and Eurasian Resources.

According to the report, the world’s cobalt resources are rich, but cobalt resource concentration is high, mainly distributed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (the DRC) and Australia. The DRC is always the biggest source of China’s cobalt imports.

Methodology

Background research defines the range of products and industries, which proposes the key points of the research. Proper classification will help clients understand the industry and products in the report.

Secondhand material research is a necessary way to push the project into fast progress. The analyst always chooses the data source carefully. Most secondhand data they quote is sourced from an authority in a specific industry or public data source from governments, industrial associations, etc. For some new or niche fields, they also "double-check" data sources and logics before they show them to clients.

Primary research is the key to solve questions, which largely influence the research outputs. The analyst may use methods like mathematics, logical reasoning, scenario thinking, to confirm key data and make the data credible.

The data model is an important analysis method. Calculating through data models with different factors weights can guarantee the outputs objective.

The analyst optimizes the following methods and steps in executing research projects and also forms many special information gathering and processing methods.

1. Analyze the life cycle of the industry to understand the development phase and space.
2. Grasp the key indexes evaluating the market to position clients in the market and formulate development plans
3. Economic, political, social and cultural factors
4. Competitors like a mirror that reflects the overall market and also market differences.
5. Inside and outside the industry, upstream and downstream of the industry chain, show inner competitions
6. Proper estimation of the future is good guidance for strategic planning.
