Global Base Metals Market Outlook

The global base metals market size reached a value of approximately USD 828.8 billion in 2022. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.50% between 2023 and 2028, reaching a value of USD 1,075.2 billion by 2028.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Base metals are metals that corrode, tarnish, and oxidise at a fast rate when exposed to moisture or air for long periods of time. These metals are easily available in nature and are relatively inexpensive and they produce hydrogen gas when they react with dilute hydrochloric acid.

 

  • The key trends driving the growth of the market include rising construction activities around the globe due to increasing population. Construction of residential and non-residential buildings such as schools and hospitals have increased so as to meet the demands from a growing population.
  • Another crucial trend in the market for base metals is the rapidly growing automobile industry, which is increasing the demand for base metals and aiding the expansion of the global market.
  • The aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions has boosted the utilisation of base metals in the production of renewable energy. This factor is anticipated to further accelerate the expansion of the base metals market over the forecast period.

 

Market Analysis
