Molybdenum Disulfide Market Growth & Trends

The global molybdenum disulfide market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.11 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2025 to 2030. The market is driven by its application in semiconductors. Molybdenum disulfide, a 2D semiconductor with a direct bandgap of 1.9 eV in its monolayer form, offers significant advantages over graphene for next-generation electronics. Its high on/off current ratio, excellent carrier mobility, and thermal stability make it ideal for thin-film transistors (TFTs), FETs, and nanoelectronics devices.

The market growth of molybdenum disulfide crystals is driven by their rising demand in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices due to their tunable bandgap and superior nonlinear optical properties. Their exceptional lubricating performance and increasing applications in nanoelectronics, photonics, and heterostructured device fabrication further boost market interest. Additionally, advancements in high-purity synthesis and scalable exfoliation techniques are expanding their industrial and research adoption globally.

The medical applications of molybdenum disulfide are rapidly expanding, driven by its unique photoluminescence, biocompatibility, and chemical properties. MoS? is being utilized in targeted drug delivery for cancer therapy, biosensors for disease biomarkers such as H?O? and DNA/proteins, and antimicrobial nanomaterials with high efficacy and low resistance potential. Its integration into microfluidic devices, immunosensors, and nanopore-based diagnostics is fueling market demand across healthcare, diagnostics, and bioelectronics sectors, positioning MoS? as a key material in next-generation medical nanotechnology.

Asia-Pacific leads the global molybdenum disulfide market, driven by its rising demand in next-generation batteries and electric vehicles (EVs). MoS?’s superior electrochemical properties, such as high capacity, fast charge-discharge capability, and structural stability, make it an ideal material for anodes in lithium-ion and emerging solid-state batteries. This supports innovation in EV technologies across dynamic markets like China, South Korea, and Japan, where rapid growth in EV production and energy storage solutions is fueling MoS? adoption.

Molybdenum Disulfide Market Report Highlights
