Rubidium Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The diversified applications of rubidium is notably driving the rubidium market growth, although factors such as high cost of rubidium may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the rubidium industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Rubidium Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global rubidium industry growth is the diversified applications of rubidium. Rubidium carbonate (Rb2CO3) is used as an additive to such types of specialty glass, where it reduces electrical conductivity and improves stability and durability. Moreover, a rubidium-cesium-antimony coating is commonly applied to the photo-cathodes of photo-multiplier tubes that are used in radiation detection devices, medical imaging equipment, and night vision devices. In addition, specialty glass, which constitutes the leading market for rubidium, is used in fiber-optic telecommunication systems and night vision devices. Thus, the growing use of rubidium is expected to further enhance the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Rubidium Market Trend
Strategic alliances is one of the key rubidium market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. For instance, in March 2021, Lepidico announced an increase in its resources at the Karibib Project (KP) in Namibia, in which it has 80% ownership (stake). In October 2020, Bracco Diagnostics Inc., the U.S subsidiary of Bracco Imaging S.p.A., a leading global company in the diagnostic imaging business, announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved its new CardioGen-82 infusion system to enhance automation, efficiency, and simplicity in cardiac position emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Therefore, such discovery of new rubidium deposits, as well as innovative applications for the metal, will enhance the growth of the market during the forecast period. Such factors will further support the market growth in the coming years.
Key Rubidium Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global rubidium industry growth is the high cost of rubidium. Its rarity in part is attributed to there being few applications that require or use rubidium as an important raw material. It has a solitary extra electron in its outer shell, which means that it will hungrily pair up with almost any other element and form an especially strong bond. The market price of 99.75% Rb2CO3, which is the most widely used rubidium chemical, is around USD 57 for 10 grams (i.e., USD 5,700 per kilogram). This is considered to be much higher when compared to the price of lithium or potassium carbonate. Such factors are expected to be a major challenge for the growth of the market during the forecast years.
This rubidium market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
