Global Beryllium Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Beryllium market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1118 million in 2025 to US$ 1168 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 0.7% from 2025 to 2031.

Beryllium is a lightweight metallic element used in a wide variety of specialty and industrial applications. As a function of its unique chemical and physical properties, such as a high stiffness-toweight ratio, resistance to temperature extremes, and high thermal conductivity, beryllium cannot be easily replaced by substitute materials in applications where combinations of these properties make it the material of choice. Because the number of beryllium producers is limited and the use of substitute materials in specific defense-related applications that are vital to national security is inadequate, several studies have categorized beryllium as a critical and strategic material. This categorization has led to the United States Government recommending that beryllium be stockpiled for use in the event of a national emergency.

The extraction of beryllium from its main source’s beryl and bertrandite involves several stages. After mining the ores, they are first converted to an acid-soluble form. To obtain comparatively pure beryllium hydroxide or oxide, and in a further step beryllium chloride or fluoride, complex chemical processes are used. These halogenides are then reduced to metallic beryllium with other metals or by melt electrolysis. The beryllium metal obtained is subject to one or more refining processes and finally to further treatment.

More specifically, three different metallurgical routes are followed according to the final product to be produced: metallic beryllium, beryllium oxide and beryllium into alloy. In case of metallic beryllium powder production, the procedure comprises the dissolving of Be(OH)2, BeO, and/or beryllium scrap in ammonium bifluoride to form an ammonium beryllium fluoride (ABF) solution [(NH4)2BeF4]. This solution is then purified, evaporated, and crystallized to form ABF salt. In the pebbles plant, the ABF salt is fed into a fluoride furnace and heated to form glassy beryllium fluoride (BeF2). Subsequently, BeF2 is reduced with magnesium in a reduction furnace resulting in metallic beryllium pebbles within a magnesium fluoride (MgF2) matrix.

Beryllium industry in US is fully looped comprising: mining, ore processing, manufacture, sale and recycling of beryllium-bearing products. Japan does not extract beryllium ores but refine it from imports. Kazakshstan refines its beryllium from stockpiled ores and will most likely to continue to do so in the future.

Annual worldwide production of refined beryllium (in alloys, metal or ceramics) in 2021 is estimated at 256 tonnes. The global produced amount of metallic beryllium since 2000 is shown in Figure 18. As in case of beryllium concentrate, USA and China are main producers of refined beryllium (66% and 27% of the global amount in 2021). A minor beryllium production, less than 3% of the global, is taking place in Uganda.

Global Beryllium key players include Materion, NGK Metals, Kazatomprom, CNMC NingXia Orient Group and Fuyun Hengsheng. Global top four manufacturers hold a share over 95%.

North America is the largest market, with a share about 58%, followed by Europe and China, both have a share over 10%.

In terms of product type, Beryllium Copper Alloys is the largest segment, with a share over 75%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Aerospace and Defense, followed by Industrial and Automotive.
