Vanadium Ore Global Market Report 2024

Venadium ores refer to naturally occurring rock sediments containing venadium and other metals or metal compounds in concentrations suitable for mining, treatment, or refinement.

The primary varieties of vanadium ore include FeV40, FeV50, FeV60, and FeV80, with FeV80 being the most prevalent ferrovanadium composition. Besides iron and vanadium, FeV80 also includes trace amounts of silicon, aluminum, carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, arsenic, copper, and manganese. Impurities may constitute up to 11% of the alloy's weight. Vanadium ore finds diverse applications in iron and steel, chemical, and energy storage sectors, serving various industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, and the steel industry.

The vanadium ore market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.75 billion in 2023 to $2.86 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the historical period can be ascribed to the expansion of the steel industry, infrastructure development, applications in aerospace and defense, heightened regulatory standards for steel quality, and demand from the automotive industry.

The vanadium ore market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the increasing focus on renewable energy, the electric vehicle revolution, ongoing urbanization and infrastructure projects, more stringent emission standards, and heightened research and development initiatives. Noteworthy trends in the forecast period encompass progress in battery technologies, advancements in energy storage technologies, technological enhancements in steel production, a rising demand for vanadium in steel production, the emergence of energy storage applications, and ongoing research and development in vanadium extraction technologies.

The vanadium ore mining market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing utilization of vanadium in the automobile industry. The incorporation of vanadium alloy in the manufacturing of automobile parts is expected to result in reduced weight and improved fuel efficiency. According to aheadoftheherd.com, an investing firm, it is projected that approximately 85% of all automobiles will integrate vanadium alloy to decrease weight and enhance fuel efficiency by 2025.

The vanadium ore market is poised for growth as there is a rising demand for vanadium from the construction industry. The construction sector, encompassing various activities such as planning, design, installation, refurbishment, repair, and maintenance of physical structures and infrastructure, relies on vanadium as an alloying metal for specialty steel alloys, including high-strength steel used in construction. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, construction spending in August 2023 was estimated at $1,983.5 billion, indicating a 7.4% increase from the $1,847.3 billion projected in August 2022. The growing demand for vanadium in the construction industry is a driving force for the vanadium ore market.

The environmental impact of vanadium deposition is on the rise globally, attributed to the increased release of vanadium-rich industrial byproducts, such as steel slags and ash from expanding waste incineration. In response to this, major jurisdictions, including the USA and China, are implementing environmental protection strategies and regulations to mitigate the toxic effects of vanadium. For instance, in the USA, vanadium is listed as Contaminant Candidate List 4 (CCL4) and is subject to more rigorous monitoring in potable waters. Similarly, China is actively addressing environmental concerns by regulating iron ore blends to reduce the vanadium content in raw materials. These regulatory measures are expected to impact the vanadium ore mining market.

The emergence of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) for energy storage represents a significant trend in the market, contributing to a structural shift in the vanadium ore mining industry traditionally dominated by steel manufacturers. An illustration of this trend is evident in the collaboration announced by VFlowTech, a Singapore-based vanadium redox flow battery manufacturer, and Advario B.V., a Netherlands-based liquid storage logistics company. The partnership aims to explore joint efforts to expand the use of vanadium flow batteries for terminal applications in key markets. While VFlowTech's technology is applicable to terminal use, it also finds real-world applications in diverse areas such as electric vehicle (EV) charging, grid solutions, residential neighborhoods, telecom structures, and clean energy integration in the commercial and industrial sectors. This collaboration signifies the growing significance of vanadium beyond traditional steel applications.
