Cobalt Sulphate Market Report by Form (Powder, Solution), Application (Alloys, Magnets, Hard Materials, Catalyst, Inks and Dyes, Batteries, and Others), and Region 2024-2032

The global cobalt sulphate market size reached US$ 1.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.02% during 2024-2032. The increasing sales of electric vehicles, the implementation of government initiatives to promote renewable energy, and the rising utilization of consumer electronics represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Cobalt sulfate, with the formula CoSO4, is a chemical compound that consists of cobalt, sulfur, and oxygen. It is mixed with sulfuric acid to form cobalt sulfate heptahydrate and can also be produced through a process known as electroplating, wherein cobalt is deposited onto a metal substrate using an electrolyte solution containing cobalt sulphate. It is highly soluble in water, stable at room temperature, and can withstand high temperatures without decomposition. It is widely used in the production of rechargeable batteries, particularly in lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and energy storage systems. It is also utilized as a feed additive for livestock and poultry to prevent cobalt deficiency, which can lead to health issues in animals. In recent years, cobalt sulphate has gained momentum as it finds extensive applications across various industrial verticals such as it is used as a drying agent for paints and inks, and as a feed supplement for livestock.

Cobalt Sulphate Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the surging sales of electric vehicles across the globe. Cobalt sulfate is used in manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, which are a key component of EVs. In addition, the increasing demand for consumer electronics represents another major growth-inducing factor. Cobalt sulfate is also used to produce rechargeable batteries for smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices. Besides this, governments of numerous countries are promoting the use of renewable energy sources to reduce carbon emissions. This has led to increased production of solar panels and wind turbines, which use cobalt sulfate in their construction. This, coupled with the rising product adoption in the ceramic and glass industry, is contributing to the market growth. Cobalt sulphate is used as a colorant in ceramics and glass production to provide deep pigment. Moreover, emerging markets such as China and India are rapidly industrializing, which is increasing the demand for cobalt sulphate as a key raw material for various industrial applications. As these economies continue to grow, the demand for cobalt sulfate is expected to rise further. Furthermore, cobalt sulphate is widely used as a feed additive for livestock and poultry to prevent cobalt deficiency in animals which is also creating a favorable market outlook across the globe.
