According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of molybdenum in the global automotive market looks promising with opportunities in the passenger car and light commercial vehicle markets. The molybdenum in the global automotive market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.9% from 2019 to 2024. The major drivers for this market are increasing penetration of high strength steel per vehicle and growing demand for lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles.

In this market, molybdenum is primarily used in steel for the manufacturing of engine blocks, exhaust systems, crankshaft, piston rings, steering components, and axel shafts. Molybdenum enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, and corrosion resistance of steel. On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that engine blocks will remain the largest segment for molybdenum material, as molybdenum improves high internal operation pressure and peak firing pressure in engines.

Asia Pacific will remain the largest region; it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to high vehicle production ...
... and increasing demand for advanced high strength steel (AHSS) for various engine applications.

An emerging trend, which has a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, includes increasing applications for molybdenum steel alloys in engines, such as driving pinion, cardan joints, and turbocharger housings. Centerra Gold, Codelco Mining, China Molybdenum Company, Grupo Mexico, Freeport-McMoRan, Anglo American, and Jinduicheng Molybdenum Group Co. are the major molybdenum suppliers in the global automotive market.
