Market Overview
Sodium molybdate prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, fell 5.8% across 2025, declining from USD 17.2/KG in Q1 to USD 16.2/KG by Q4 as molybdenum oxide feedstock softness and weak European corrosion inhibitor demand weighed on the market. Globally, the average fell from USD 13.625/KG to USD 13.295/KG, a 2.4% decline. For the remainder of 2026, a global average of USD 13.40-14.80/KG is expected, with recovery on Middle East mining supply disruptions and growing fertiliser micronutrient and catalyst sector demand.
Sodium molybdate is produced by the reaction of molybdenum trioxide with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate solution, yielding a water-soluble salt used across multiple industrial applications. The largest pull comes from corrosion inhibitor formulations in closed-loop cooling water and antifreeze systems, where sodium molybdate provides effective steel and copper protection without the environmental concerns of chromate-based alternatives. Additional demand comes from agricultural micronutrient fertiliser applications correcting molybdenum deficiency in legume crops, catalyst production for petroleum refining hydrodesulfurisation, pigment and ceramic glaze formulations, and animal feed trace mineral supplementation. Molybdenum oxide feedstock costs, corrosion inhibitor and fertiliser sector demand, and regional production capacity all feed into the price.
Sodium Molybdate Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for sodium molybdate through the rest of 2026 leans cautiously firm. Molybdenum oxide feedstock costs recovered sharply in Q1 2026 from Middle East mining and processing supply disruptions. Fertiliser micronutrient and catalyst sector demand is recovering with improving agricultural and petroleum refining activity.
The main upside risk is a sustained molybdenum oxide cost increase alongside a broad agricultural micronutrient and refining catalyst sector recovery. The main downside risk is continued global molybdenum mine supply abundance and weak European corrosion inhibitor demand that limits global price recovery.

Key Questions Answered in the Report
Corrosion inhibitor formulations in closed-loop cooling water and antifreeze systems take the largest share, providing steel and copper protection. Agricultural micronutrient fertiliser applications, refining catalyst production, pigment and ceramic glaze formulations, and animal feed trace mineral supplementation also consume significant volumes.
The Q1 2026 average was USD 14.85/KG in the United States, USD 10.45/KG in China, USD 17.10/KG in Germany, and USD 13.85/KG in India. Germany remains the highest-priced market.
The global average fell from USD 13.625/KG in Q1 2025 to about USD 13.295/KG in Q4, a full-year decline of around 2.4%. H1 molybdenum oxide softness drove the decline before H2 fertiliser and catalyst demand supported recovery.
Molybdenum oxide feedstock cost softness from global mine supply abundance reduced the production cost floor. Weak European corrosion inhibitor demand reduced procurement urgency. Adequate supply maintained a well-supplied market throughout H1.
The global average is expected in the USD 13.40 to 14.80/KG range for the rest of 2026, with recovery on firmer molybdenum oxide feedstock costs and improving fertiliser micronutrient and catalyst sector demand globally.
Germany sits highest on molybdenum oxide and energy costs, the United States and India hold a firm middle on corrosion inhibitor and fertiliser demand, and China prices lowest on large domestic production capacity.

Prices respond mainly to molybdenum oxide feedstock costs, corrosion inhibitor and fertiliser micronutrient demand cycles, and refining catalyst activity. Molybdenum mine production rates and Middle East supply events are key signals.
Asia Pacific leads with China holding the largest molybdenum mining and processing capacity, followed by North America and Europe. Any molybdenum oxide cost shift ripples across markets within one to two quarters.
Buyers can use quarterly trends and forecasts to time corrosion inhibitor and fertiliser contracts, build cover when molybdenum oxide signals tightening, and monitor mine production rates as the primary upstream signal.
