According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Nickel Market Report by Product Type (Class I Products, Class II Products), Application (Stainless Steel and Alloy Steel, Non-ferrous Alloys and Superalloys, Electroplating, Casting, Batteries, and Others), End-Use Industry (Transportation & Defense, Fabricated Metal Products, Electrical & Electronics, Chemical, Petrochemical, Construction, Consumer Durables, Industrial Machinery, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global nickel market reached a value of USD 37.0 Billion in 2024. Nickel (Ni) is a durable, lustrous, and silvery-white chemical element extracted from nickel sulfide and garnierite mines. It has high electro-magnetic and malleable properties that help in the production of non-ferrous alloys and stainless steel. Nickel and its derivatives are widely used in the disposal and water purification process as they offer water-resistance and require low maintenance. At present, they are widely being utilized across the globe on account of their high electrical and thermal conductivity.
Global Nickel Market Trends:
A significant increase in the utilization of corrosion-resistant alloys in the oil and gas industry represents one of the primary factors positively influencing the market. Apart from this, the escalating demand for high-density nickel-based batteries to replace rechargeable batteries and assist the power requirements of the growing population is strengthening the growth of the market. Nickel is also employed in solar panels and wind turbines for generating electricity. Furthermore, the rising demand for stainless steel products, including kitchen skins, saucepans, forks, and spoons, is contributing to the global market growth. Besides this, technological advancements in the production of nickel via green mining procedures and the boosting demand for electric vehicles are stimulating the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 55.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% during 2025-2033.
