Global Nickel Hydroxide Market Segmented Information: by Application (Batteries, Catalyst), End-Use Industry (Automotive Industry, Electronic Industry, Chemical Industry) and Region - Forecast to 2027

Market Overview

An organic compound whose chemical formula is Ni(OH)2 or Nickel (II) hydroxide largely used in batteries, automotive industry, and chemical industry boost the nickel hydroxide market in the global market. The nickel hydroxide is generally available in apple green, odorless, crystalline solid, and powder form. It is a naturally occurring mineral theophrastite. Nickel hydroxide is highly electroactive and can easily be converted in response to an electric stimulus into Ni(III) oxy-hydroxide. Nickel hydroxide can be non-oxidizing and non-explosive under static conditions. Nickel hydroxide is highly dissolvable in ammonium hydroxide and water. It has a density of 4g/cm3 which is more than water.

It is expected that the market is expected to grow at a high CAGR of 6% to account for a higher market value of approximately USD 2,841.91 million by the end of the forecasted period 2016-2021.

COVID 19 Analysis

The situation of the global pandemic of COVID 19 has affected the normal working of the population of all regions in the global market. The outbreak of COVID 19 has pushed the economies towards forced recession owing to which now, everyone has to deal with financial crises along with health issues. The lockdown situation and post lockdown situation have resulted in the shutdown of various manufacturing sites of nickel hydroxide which lead to a steep downfall in the sales revenue of the market.

However, it is expected that the market for nickel hydroxide will recover from this pandemic situation by the end of the third quarter of the coming year.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

The nickel hydroxide market is increasing at a tremendous rate owing to an increase in the demand for the electrodes which is majorly used in electrochemical batteries and hence accelerated the growth of the market. Various unique features like utmost reliability, superior performance, and long battery life increase the demand for nickel hydroxide-based batteries and help in boosting the growth of the nickel hydroxide market in the global market.

Opportunities

The growing demand for nickel hydroxide in the global market provides various growth opportunities in the market. The nickel hydroxide market is not only largely used in the electronics industry but its impurity removing property from the water provides growth opportunities in the chemical industry as well during the forecasted period. Also, the use of nickel hydroxide in the formation of Nickel Oxide (NiO) and its application in the ceramics industry provides various growth opportunities in the global market.

Restraints

The nickel hydroxide market is penetrating deep in the global market, but some factors restrict the growth of this market like the growing toxicity concerns with the use of nickel hydroxide hampers the growth of the nickel hydroxide market in the global market. Also, the increasing use of nickel hydroxide in the chemical industry and electric industry resulted in the development of nasal and lung cancer owing to the presence of carcinogenic properties that hinder the growth of the market.

Value Chain Analysis

The nickel hydroxide market is growing rapidly in the global market owing to its varied application in different industries like the chemical industry, electronics industry, and consumer products industries. The nickel hydroxide is manufactured electronically by anodic oxidation and alkali metal hydroxides and hence the nickel hydroxide produced is pure and environment-friendly. The nickel hydroxide made electronically, has 90% less salt content as compared to nickel hydroxide made by precipitation.
