Molybdenum Disulfide Market: Key Drivers and Challenges

The increasing demand due to growing end-use industries is notably driving the MoS2 market growth, although factors such as the presence of alternative materials may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the molybdenum disulfide industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Molybdenum Disulfide Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the global molybdenum disulfide market growth is the increasing demand due to growing end-use industries. The great strength and low weight of molybdenum enable its usage in the aviation sector to minimize vibration and increase pilot and passenger comfort. It is also used to stabilize control surfaces for aircraft ailerons, elevators, and rudder sections, helicopter rotor blades, and cockpit instruments. Moreover, molybdenum is an ideal option for use in LEDs, lasers, photonics, photovoltaics, and other microelectronics applications owing to its low electrical conductivity and superior radiation stability. Therefore, the increase in demand in various end-user industries for molybdenum will drive the global MoS2 market growth during the forecast period.

Key Molybdenum Disulfide Market Challenge

One of the major challenges impeding the global molybdenum disulfide market growth is the presence of alternative materials. The easy availability of substitutes such as tungsten disulfide (WS2) is reducing the demand for MoS2. Other significant features of WS2 compared with molybdenum disulfides such as low coefficient of friction, good chemical stability, and thermal stability will also increase the demand for tungsten disulfide. Moreover, when switching from bulk material to a 2D material, the bandgap of WS2 changes from an indirect bandgap of 1.4eV to a direct bandgap of 2eV, precisely like MoS2. Due to this bandgap, WS2 is considered an intriguing material for a wide range of applications. Therefore, with similar properties to that of MoS2, tungsten disulfide can potentially hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.

This molybdenum disulfide market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
