Vanadium Market Trends




  • Rising demand for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) is driving market growth.




The vanadium market has been expanding due to the rising demand for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs).  In addition to being utilized more frequently for grid-scale storage applications, VRFBs are a key technology for large-scale energy storage. They can offer dependable and affordable power in off-grid and distant locations.  One of the main benefits of VRFBs is their capacity to deliver a long-duration, consistent energy output, making them ideal for load balancing, backup power, and the integration of renewable energy sources.  The demand for large-scale energy storage technologies like VRFBs will only rise as the globe moves towards renewable energy sources, raising vanadium demand.  Vanadium is utilized in a wide range of other applications in addition to VRFBs, such as steel manufacturing, aerospace and defense, and chemical manufacturing.  The vanadium market is now being driven mostly by the expansion of VRFBs.  For instance, in 2020, SABIC-owned Nusaned Investment, based in Saudi Arabia, formed a joint venture with SCHMID Group, a technology business based in Germany, to concentrate on producing and developing technologies for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB).


In recent years, investors have boosted their investment volume to keep up with the expanding demand for vanadium worldwide.  For the production of synthetic vanadium, they are paying.  This freshly created vanadium can be used in the steel and automotive industries.  In addition, a sizable portion of the demand for synthetic vanadium comes from the aerospace sector.


New technologies are being developed for vanadium extraction, refinement, and use.  For instance, several businesses are investigating solvent extraction methods to remove vanadium from ores, which may lessen the refining process's environmental effect and energy needs.  Additionally, research is being done on creating brand-new vanadium-based materials with improved characteristics, which might create new markets and uses of vanadium.


Huge strains and corrosion are placed on the steel during oil and gas drilling, production, processing, storage, and transportation.  The drilling tubing or pipes corrode when acid-containing fluids are utilized in the process.  Thus, the oil industries' need for ferrovanadium is increasing to strengthen steels' corrosion resistance to acids and alkali solutions.  To increase the strength of the steel used in the oil industry, thriving oil and gas companies are driving up demand for ferrovanadium.  For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2025, the world's oil demand will have increased by a total of 5.7 mb/d, with over half of that increase coming from China and India.  The need for pipes is driven by the expanding cross-country pipeline and the growing city gas distributions (CGD) industry, which in turn drives the expansion of this market.  Because of its strength and application in oil and gas pipelines, high-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) incorporating vanadium is popular.


Vanadium Market Segment Insights


Vanadium Type Insights


The Vanadium market segmentation, based on type, includes Vanadium Pentoxide, Vanadium Ferrovanadium, Aluminum-Vanadium Alloys, Vanadium Chemicals, and Others. The Vanadium Pentoxide segment is expected to lead the Vanadium market during the forecast period.  The high-strength steel utilized in manufacturing, building, and infrastructure projects is produced with the help of vanadium pentoxide.  Steel is given an improvement in strength, longevity, and resistance to corrosion.  The anti-tumor and anti-diabetic actions of vanadium pentoxide are utilized in the pharmaceutical sector as possible therapeutics.


The Vanadium Ferrovanadium segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the Vanadium market during the forecast period.  The government's concentration on constructing and enhancing infrastructure, such as highways, bridges, and dams, is increasing steel demand and, in turn, supporting the growth of the ferrovanadium sector.  As a substantial alloy, ferrovanadium is largely used in the manufacturing process of steel to improve the hardness, strength, resistance to abrasion, and elasticity of the metal.  For example, the Indian government's 2017 New Steel Policy, which directs the steel industry to reach 300 MT of steel production capacity by 2030, is projected to support market growth.

Vanadium Grade Type Insights


The Vanadium market segmentation, based on grade type, includes FeV40, FeV50, FeV60, and FeV80.  The FeV80 segment is expected to hold the largest market shares throughout the forecast period.  Due to its highest vanadium content of 80%, FeV80 is being used more frequently in the steel industry, driving market growth.  The yield strength and tensile strength of steel are both improved by increasing the vanadium content, which also encourages grain refinement.   crude steel output climbed by 3.4% in 2019, according to the Worldsteel Association.  To improve steel's strength, malleability, and corrosion resistance, rising crude steel production also drives up ferrovanadium demand.


Vanadium Application Insights


The Vanadium market segmentation, based on application, includes Iron & Steel, Chemical, Energy Storage, Titanium Alloys, and Others.  The Iron & Steel segment is expected to hold the largest market shares throughout the forecast period.  Steel is strengthened and more resilient by the addition of vanadium.  As a grain refiner, vanadium smooths out the steel's grain structure and increases its resistance to fatigue, fracture, and wear.  Vanadium also aids in keeping the steel from becoming brittle phases, which can cause failure and fissures.


The Energy Storage application segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the Vanadium market during the forecast period.  Vanadium has a high energy density, allowing it to store a lot of energy in a small volume.  This makes it the perfect substance for energy storage devices, especially those made for large-scale applications.


Vanadium End-User Insights


The Vanadium market segmentation, based on the end-user, includes Automotive, Chemical, Energy storage, and others. The Automotive segment is anticipated to hold the major market shares during the forecast period.  In the automotive sector, vanadium is largely used as an alloying element in steel to create high-strength and lightweight components.  Vanadium aids in extending the lifespan of automobile parts, especially those that experience heavy strain or wear, including crankshafts and engine valves.


Vanadium Regional Insights


By region, the analysis offers market insights into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Rest of the World.  The Asia-Pacific region is expected to lead the Vanadium market throughout the forecast period.  This is a result of the increasing demand for vanadium in the area.  Increased construction activity in developing countries like China and India also expands the market.  In India, the construction sector's gross value added grew from $183.5 billion in 2018-19 to $192 billion in 2019-20.
