The Middle East cobalt market size was estimated at USD 110.8 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 183.2 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2025 to 2033. The expanding production and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the region are expected to drive increased demand for cobalt during the forecast period.
Lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-oxide (NMC) batteries, which typically contain 10-20% cobalt in their cathodes, remain the most widely used battery chemistry for EVs. Cobalt is a critical component of lithium-ion batteries, enhancing electric vehicles' driving range and durability. Sustainability is becoming a key focus in the market, driven by increasing environmental regulations and the global push towards greener technologies.
Cobalt sourcing and processing are under scrutiny to ensure ethical practices, including reducing the environmental impact of mining and promoting responsible supply chains. The Middle East is investing in sustainable battery recycling initiatives and exploring alternative materials to minimize cobalt dependency. These efforts aim to support the circular economy while meeting the growing demand for cobalt in clean energy applications, aligning the region's cobalt industry with global sustainability goals.
