Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Niobium and Niobium Alloy market size was valued at US$ 3298 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 5040 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.3% during review period.

Niobium is a chemical element with the symbol Nb and atomic number 41. Niobium is a rare, soft, forgeable, ductile gray-white metal that exists in mineral form. It has a body-centered cubic crystal structure and its physical and chemical properties are similar to those of tantalum. It must be placed in a protective atmosphere even when processed at moderate temperatures because it reacts easily with oxygen, carbon, halogens, nitrogen and sulfur. The metal is inert to acids, even to aqua regia, at room temperature, but is attacked by hot concentrated acids, especially alkalis and oxidants. Niobium iron is widely used as an additive in the steel industry, which can significantly improve the strength and toughness of steel. It is an indispensable and important metal in modern industry; niobium oxide has excellent chemical stability and high refractive index, and is widely used in electronics, optics and ceramics; niobium metal has a high melting point, low density, good corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties, and is widely used in aerospace, energy, electronics and chemical industries.

The main consumption areas of niobium metal are North America, Europe, China, Japan, India, South Korea and other countries and regions with heavy industrial development systems such as steel.

In terms of sales volume, China is currently the world's largest niobium sales country, accounting for 35.90% of the world in 2024. In terms of revenue, the Chinese market has developed steadily and expanded in the past few years. The market size in 2024 is US$1,148.02 million, accounting for about 35.82% of the world. It is expected to reach US$1,911.64 million in 2031, and the global share will reach 38.69% by then.

In terms of product types, niobium includes ferroniobium, niobium oxide, and niobium metal. Ferroniobium has excellent strengthening and stable grain structure characteristics. It is an important material for the production of microalloyed steel, heat-resistant steel and stainless steel. It is indispensable in the manufacture of high-performance steel. The market size in 2024 is US$2,832.65 million, accounting for about 88.38% of the world. It is expected to reach US$4,013.77 million in 2031, and the global share will drop to 81.23%. Niobium oxide and niobium metal have a growing global share due to their excellent properties and important application value.

From the perspective of product market application, the market size of structural steel in 2024 is US$1,346.26 million, accounting for about 42.00% of the world, and is expected to reach US$1,737.17 million in 2031, with the global share falling to 35.16%.

Currently, major global manufacturers include CBMM, CMOC Group and Niobec. Relying on rich niobium ore resources and cutting-edge niobium product technology, the leading manufacturer CBMM will account for 77.35% of the market share in 2024, and the niobium industry is highly concentrated.
