Market Analysis
The production, installation, and sales of ternary batteries are experiencing slow growth, leading to a slow increase in demand for cobalt. The Congolese government has introduced an export quota system, requiring cobalt exporters to prepay 10% of mining royalties. Cobalt exports from the Democratic Republic of Congo have resumed, and cobalt is officially being shipped from Congolese ports. This alleviates the shortage of cobalt supply, but expectations of rising costs remain. Cobalt miners are reserving export quotas for 2025. New production capacity for cobalt products in Indonesia, coupled with cobalt recycling, partially compensates for the supply shortage of cobalt raw materials, but an overall supply shortage persists. Rising cobalt salt and lithium cobalt oxide prices continue to support a positive outlook for the cobalt market. The strong and stable international cobalt price is weakening the positive impact on the domestic cobalt market, while negative factors remain. Overall, the upward momentum in the cobalt market is weakening, and downward pressure persists.
