Cadmium Market Size and Analysis, Trends, Recent Developments, and Forecast till 2030

Cadmium Market report also sheds light on the supply chains and the changes in the trends of the upstream raw materials and downstream distributors.
Published 10 July 2023

The global market for cadmium had a strong performance in 2021 and is projected to maintain a steady revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.28% throughout the forecast period. One of the main drivers of market revenue growth is the increasing utilization of cadmium in the battery industry, particularly in rechargeable NiCd cells due to their ability to be recharged. Additionally, the demand for cadmium is expected to rise in the painting and coating sector, as it can create vibrant yellow and orange colors.

Cadmium, also known as Cd, is a soft, white, and ductile metal that is obtained as a by-product during the zinc refining process from zinc carbonate ore. As a heavy metal, cadmium shares certain properties with mercury, such as a lower melting point. It is resistant to corrosion and insoluble in water, making it an ideal solution for plating metals that are prone to rust, such as iron. Consequently, the aviation sector utilizes cadmium to coat steel parts and prevent rusting and potential fire hazards. Due to its conductivity, cadmium is primarily employed as an anode in secondary rechargeable NiCd batteries, which also contain nickel. This makes it a highly effective component in portable chargers and torches. Additionally, cadmium compounds are commonly used in the production of paints and coatings, imparting yellow and orange hues. These pigments are extensively utilized in the real estate and housing sector, as well as in various artist applications such as acrylic paints, watercolors, and oil paints. Furthermore, cadmium finds a newer application in the nuclear industry, where it helps stabilize the rate of nuclear fission to enhance control over reactors. Moreover, cadmium has multiple uses in non-fossil fuel power sources, further contributing to the market's revenue growth.
