Cobalt: United States
This report forecasts to 2023 and 2027 US cobalt demand in metric tons of cobalt content. Total demand is segmented by form in terms of: metal, chemical compounds, and purchased scrap.
Total demand is also segmented by application as follows: superalloys; chemicals and ceramics; cemented carbides; and other applications such as alloys, steels, and electronic components.
To illustrate historical trends, total demand, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2012 to 2022.
Included in the scope of this report are: cobalt ores and concentrates; cobalt oxides and hydroxides; commercial cobalt oxides; cobalt chloride; cobalt sulfate; cobalt carbonates; cobalt acetates; unwrought cobalt, cobalt alloys, and powders; cobalt mattes; intermediate products of cobalt metallurgy; cobalt waste and scrap; and wrought cobalt and related articles.
Excluded from this report are complex cobalt chemistries, such as those commonly found in lithium-ion batteries.
Re-exports of cobalt are excluded from demand and trade figures.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
