Rhenium Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The rising demand for aerospace engines is notably driving the rhenium market growth, although factors such as the fluctuations in the price of rhenium 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 rhenium industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Rhenium Market Driver
- One of the key factor driving growth in the rhenium market is the rising demand for aerospace engines.
- Rhenium is extensively used in the aircraft engines such as Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A380. It is highly in demand in the aviation industry as it is used to boost the efficiency of jet engines. The aviation industry is currently the largest consumer of rhenium.
- The very high melting point, hardness, and scratch resistance properties are fostering the demand for rhenium in the aviation industry. Rhenium is also used in jet-engine turbines and for shielding spaceships. This is because of its ability to withstand very high temperatures and high chemical resistance.
- The US is the major producer of rhenium, followed by Poland and China.
- The high demand for rhenium is mainly from the military forces of different countries all over the world. Thus, the use of rhenium in the aviation industry will drive the global rhenium market during the forecast period.
Key Rhenium Market Trend
- The growing use of rhenium-188 in the healthcare industry is a rhenium market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years.
- Rhenium-188 is a high-energy emitting radioisotope obtained from the tungsten-188 generator. It is used in a wide variety of therapeutic applications such as nuclear medicine, preparation of radiopharmaceuticals for radionuclide therapy, oncology, interventional radiology, and cardiology.
- Rhenium-188 is used for the production of phosphonates, antibodies, peptides, and lipiodol. The high energy generated from the beta-emission of rhenium-188 is effective in treating tumors.
- The effective use of rhenium-188 for medical purposes is still in its nascent stages in many countries. Therefore, the use of rhenium-188 in the healthcare industry is expected to increase, which will foster the growth of the global rhenium market.
Key Rhenium Market Challenge
- The fluctuations in the price of rhenium will be a major challenge for the rhenium market during the forecast period.
- The prices of rhenium are currently fluctuating because of the demand-supply gap.
- The demand for rhenium is increasing because of the growth in the aviation, automotive, and chemical industries. However, the increasing demand for rhenium is affected by the unavailability of resources with time, which creates the supply gap, and results in fluctuations in the prices of rhenium.
- The price of rhenium decreased by 23%, from $1,630 to $1,256 per kilograms, between March 2020 and April 2021. This was due to decreased demand from key industries, continued low prices, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused several rhenium recyclers and primary production facilities to cease rhenium extraction and exploration activities and focus on more-profitable metals.
- Therefore, the fluctuating prices of rhenium will impede the growth in the global rhenium market.
