Vanadium Market is Estimated to Account for Major Share by 2032

Market Overview

Vanadium Market is projected to be worth USD 4.49 Billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032).Vanadium compound is significantly used as an alloying element in the iron & steel industry. Its corrosion resistance property makes it ideal for application in the manufacturing of tubes and pipes used to carry chemicals. In addition, mixing titanium with vanadium and iron increases the durability and strength of the material used in the manufacturing of wind turbines. For instance, in November 2018, JSW steel announced to ramp up the steel manufacturing capacity to 44–55 million tonnes per annum by 2030 to cater to the need of end-use industries.

Moreover, the demand for vanadium in the energy sector is growing rapidly. It is considered as a superior substitute for lithium used in the manufacturing of batteries. The vanadium-based batteries are highly durable and hold immense energy storage capacity. For instance, in September 2018, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology developed a new vanadium redox-flow battery (VRFB), which has high capacity retention and long durability.

Market Segmentation

The global vanadium market has been segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. By type, the global vanadium market has been divided into vanadium pentoxide, vanadium ferrovanadium, aluminum-vanadium alloys, vanadium chemicals, and others. The vanadium ferrovanadium segment held significant market share in 2017 and is projected to dominate in the coming years owing to the rise in the application in the iron & steel industry. The global market has been segmented based on application into chemical, energy storage, titanium alloys, and others. The high demand for iron & steel in the construction and automotive industries is expected to boost the growth of the segment in the coming years.
