Nickel Market 2024 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2023

The Global Nickel Market Forecast to 2033 published by Emergen Research provides a comprehensive evaluation of the industry, offering meaningful insights for investors, stakeholders, and business strategists who are looking to strengthen their market position. The report highlights the expected growth trajectory of the Nickel market over the forecast period from 2024 to 2033, presenting both current trends and future opportunities that businesses can leverage

The Nickel Market is expected to grow from an estimated USD 42.9 billion in 2024 to USD 85.0 billion in 2033, at a CAGR of 7.9%.

The rising demand from the manufacture of stainless steel is anticipated to propel the expansion of the nickel market. Since the majority of the world’s nickel consumption is accounted for by the manufacturing of stainless steel, the sector plays a crucial role in the demand for nickel.

This is especially true in making the austenitic category of stainless steel, as it increases its resistance to corrosion and strength. Properties like this make stainless steel important in various sectors, ranging from building to the automotive and consumer goods sectors.

The most recent announcement by Jindal Stainless was establishing a joint venture in Indonesia during May 2024 for a stainless steel melt shop with an annual capacity of 1.2 million tons per year. This initiative increases the overall melting capacity of the company by more than 40% to 4.2 MTPA, through an investment exceeding INR 7,000 million, approximately USD 84 million.

The strategic move is in line with improving the alignment of its downstream cold-rolled capacities with global standards. In the construction sector, a wide application of stainless steel is found in building facades, bridges, and other infrastructural construction as it is strong and resists bad weather conditions.

With increasing urbanization and infrastructure development, especially in the developing economies, the demand for such high-performance materials will rise, thus stimulating nickel demand.

One of the key strengths of this research lies in its ability to address critical questions that influence business decision-making. It explores the competitive positioning of leading companies, identifies potential high-growth areas, and examines evolving consumer preferences that are likely to shape demand in the coming years. The report also evaluates the key factors driving market growth along with the challenges that may hinder progress, enabling businesses to prepare for both opportunities and risks.

Rising Adoption in Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Since nickel is essential to a lithium-ion battery, rising demand from the expanding use of electric vehicles has significantly boosted demand for the metal: Among the cathode’s main components is nickel, especially in high-energy-density chemistries like NCM and NCA.

Increasing driving ranges—the most crucial element in determining customer adoption of electric mobility—by adding nickel to the battery cathode significantly raises energy density. For instance, in August 2023, the Dubai Police Department has added another luxury and eco-friendly auto to its fleet with the addition of an electric Mercedes EQS 580 that will be deployed for street patrols.

Similarly, in July 2023, Mercedes-Benz Camiones y Buses Argentina announced an investment of USD 30 million in the development of its premises, complementing an additional investment of USD 20 million seven months in advance for the creation of the logistics-industrial center in Zárate.

The world has been moving progressively toward EVs, with every government across the globe imposing a series of strict regulations concerning carbon emissions. Major car manufacturers around the world ramp up production of EVs to respond to new regulations and changing consumer tastes. This fuels demand for more advanced, higher nickel content battery chemistries.

Another important element covered in the report is the impact of external factors on market performance. The COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, has significantly influenced global industries, and the Nickel market is no exception. The report offers a detailed assessment of how disruptions caused by lockdowns, supply chain challenges, and changing consumer demand have affected market growth. It also examines how companies have adapted to these challenges and outlines potential recovery trends for the future.
