A chemical element with minimal thermal expansion, molybdenum is strong, can maintain its shape even when heated, and is resistant to corrosion. The copper mining process yields molybdenum, a shiny, silver-white metal that is similar to tin and has a light weight. One factor driving the market growth rate is the increasing use of molybdenum in thermal spray coatings for aerospace and defense applications.
Since molybdenum has a high electrical conductivity, it is finding widespread use in electrical and electronic devices as well as medical equipment, which bodes well for future market expansion. But the molybdenum market can't expand because of how expensive it is. One of the many predicted prospects for the market is the anticipated increase in the use of molybdenum and its alloys in electrical and electronic equipment. The fact that molybdenum, without a protective coating, cannot withstand continuous temperatures over 500 °C in an oxidized atmosphere is a key factor limiting the market's potential for growth.

In 2023, the worldwide molybdenum market was negatively affected by COVID-19. Lockdowns caused by COVID-19 reduced steel production globally, particularly in China, which in turn reduced demand for molybdenum in 2023. Molybdenum is present in many products, including refinery catalysts and steels, and it finds substantial application in the oil and gas industry. The COVID-19 outbreak prompted extensive lockdown procedures that drastically restricted transportation, which in turn caused the crude oil price to plummet. In December 2019, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil was $67.3 USD; in April 2023, it dropped to $18.4.
The supply of molybdenum from the United States, Chile, and China is anticipated to boost molybdenum prices. Demand will also rise as a result of the ongoing creation and implementation of goods that are more efficient, user-friendly, and eco-conscious. Strong demand for renewable energy technology and an improving steel market have analysts hopeful about the metal's overall success over the future years.
Molybdenum finds application in many different fields, including manufacturing, aircraft, medicine, consumer goods, energy, farming, and transportation. One of the most prevalent ingredients in high-strength and super-alloys is molybdenum, a hard metal with a silvery white hue and the sixth-highest melting point of any metal. Adding molybdenum to steel and cast iron improves their hardness, strength, and weldability, among other desirable attributes. In addition to making steel corrosion-resistant, it increases its thermal strength. Molybdenum improves the corrosion resistance and high-temperature deformation capabilities of nickel-based alloys.
Bullets, coaster brakes, two-stroke engines, and countless more things rely on molybdenum as a lubricant. Industries like transportation, manufacturing, mining, and others rely on molybdenum disulfide, a byproduct of molybdenum mixing with sulfur, to lubricate roller and ball bearings. Because of its geothermal origin, molybdenum disulfide is resistant to high temperatures and pressures. In addition to preventing oxidation, corrosion, and wear and tear, it safeguards engines. Pigments and fertilizers are two more places you could find molybdenum in use. Molybdenum is a key ingredient in many paints and colors. As an example, zinc molybdate is utilized as a primer in paint to prevent corrosion and preserve the color. Manufacturing molybdenum oranges requires lead chromate, lead, lead sulfate, and molybdate. Paint made from this chemical mixture is resistant to the fading effects of sunlight and weather.
