Nickel Hydroxide Market Segmented Information: by Application (Batteries, Catalyst), End-Use Industry (Automotive Industry, Electronic Industry, Chemical Industry) and Region - Forecast to 2030

Nickel Hydroxide Market Overview

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 2020-2030.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 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.

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.
