Global primary nickel industry overview
One of the key factors contributing to the growth of the global primary nickel market is the increasing production of stainless steel. The factors contributing to the increased production of stainless steel include the use of stainless steel bars in the construction sector, escalating rate of industrialization, and rising focus on R&D. Increased investments in the building and infrastructure segment, growing demand for automobiles, high recyclability of stainless steel, and increasing popularity of food-grade stainless steel are contributing to the increased demand for primary nickel. Nickel imparts strength, temperature resistance, and corrosion-resistance to stainless steel. Therefore, the significant demand for stainless steel is likely to positively impact the growth of the primary nickel market during the forecast period. The primary nickel market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 2% during the forecast period.
Nickel recycling is one of the major trends being witnessed in the global primary nickel market. Nickel is a high-value, non-ferrous metal like copper, aluminum, and zinc. Due to its high value as a commodity, efforts focused on efficient recovery and recycling of the metal are in place. The extensive use of the metal in stainless steel and nickel alloys increases the recyclability factor of nickel. The enhanced durability of nickel-based materials implies that such materials can be successfully converted into high-quality alternatives. The recycling of nickel is a prospective solution to meet the growing demand for metal in various end-user segments.
