Cobaltous Carbonate Market Overview

The cobaltous carbonate market size is estimated to reach US$1,350.2 million by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2027. Cobaltous carbonate is an inorganic compound that occurs as spherocobaltite in crystalline form. The compound is formed by combining cobaltous sulfate and sodium bicarbonate due to which it adopts a structure like calcite. Cobaltous carbonate has various applications and is used in additives for paints & coatings, as a cathode in e-vehicles batteries, as an anti caking agent in dietary supplements, as an intermediate and catalyst in chemicals, and also it is used in animal feedstock and agrochemicals. Hence, due to such high applicability, cobaltous carbonate is majorly used in sectors like automotive, aerospace, chemicals, paints & coatings, and agriculture. Factors like growing demand for electric vehicles, increase in paints & coating production and growing production of specialty chemicals are driving the growth of the cobaltous carbonate market. However, cobaltous carbonate is hazardous and can cause skin & eye infections. Hence, the regulation imposed by a government organization to curb this hazardous effect can limit the production output of cobaltous carbonate which can hamper the growth of the cobaltous carbonate industry.

Cobaltous Carbonate Market COVID-19 Impact

COVID-19 left a negative impact on the functionality of major end-users of cobaltous carbonate such as the aerospace and chemicals sectors. Cobaltous carbonate is used as a catalyst in chemicals production and also it forms the main material for making jet engines in the aerospace sector. The lockdown implemented led to a lack of available workforce and raw materials due to which the productivity of these sectors decreased. For instance, according to General Aviation Manufacture Association, in 2020, total airplane deliveries were 2,399 compared to 2,658 showing a 9.7% decrease. Further, according to the National Association of Chemical Distribution, in Q1 2020, gross domestic production of chemicals in the US fell by 5%. Hence, such a decrease in the production of the aerospace and chemicals sector reduced the usage of cobaltous carbonate in them. This resulted in a negative impact on the growth of the cobaltous carbonate industry.
