The molybdenum in the automotive market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.9% from 2019 to 2024.

The future of molybdenum in the automotive market looks promising with opportunities in the passenger car and light commercial vehicle markets.

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.

An emerging trend, which has a direct impact on the dynamics of molybdenum in the automotive industry, includes increasing applications for molybdenum steel alloys in engines, such as driving pinion, cardan joints, and turbocharger housings.

Some of the molybdenum in the automotive companies profiled in this report include are Centerra Gold Inc, Codelco Mining Co., China Molybdenum Company Ltd., Grupo Mexico, Anglo American PLC and others.

The study includes the molybdenum in the automotive market size and forecast for the molybdenum in the automotive market through 2024, segmented by application, vehicle type, and the region.

In this market, molybdenum is primarily used in steel for the manufacturing of engine blocks, exhaust systems, crankshaft, piston rings, steering components, and axle shafts. Molybdenum enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, toughness, and corrosion resistance of steel.

On the basis of its comprehensive research, the analyst 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.

The 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.
