Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zxsx23/global_platinum) has announced the addition of the "Global Platinum Group Metals Market 2014-2018 with Anglo American Platinum, JSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, Lonmin, Stillwater Mining & Impala Platinum Holdings Dominating" report to their offering. One of the major drivers in this market is the increasing usage of PGM in the Automobile sector. PGM play a significant role in making modern cars efficient and safe. Eco-friendly innovations such as fuel cells and catalytic converters would not be possible without PGM. The increasing vehicle production worldwide, especially that expected to take place in Asia in the coming years, presents a huge opportunity for the usage of PGM in the Automobile sector. The sharp rise in the number of vehicles will lead to the implementation of stringent emission standards for diesel vehicles, particularly in the Commercial Vehicle segment, thereby resulting in the rising consumption of autocatalysts to control vehicular emissions. Also, the electronic and safety systems that improve automobile reliability make use of the physical properties of PGM such as conductivity, stability, and durability. PGM are also used in the Automobile sector in fuel cells, antilock breaking systems, air bag initiators, and spark plugs. Hence, the booming Automobile sector and the increased usage of PGM in automobiles are expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the increasing demand and supply gap. PGM are used across various sectors in a number of applications; hence, there is a high demand for these metals. However, since they are natural resources, their supply is limited. It is expected that there will be a shortage of platinum and palladium during the forecast period. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Anglo American Platinum Ltd - JSC MMC Norilsk Nickel - Lonmin plc - Stillwater Mining Co. - Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd.

Global Cobalt Market 2014-2018: Global Cobalt Market Facing Supply Pressures to Drive Cobalt Prices Higher in Coming Years
M2 - Mon Feb 24, 10:21AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rk9vgq/global_cobalt) has announced the addition of the "Global Cobalt Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Cobalt market to grow at a CAGR of 6.05 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increased demand for cobalt from the Battery Chemicals industry. The Global Cobalt market has also been witnessing the supply constraints of cobalt leading to high prices. However, the cobalt supply challenges could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Glencore Xstrata plc, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., Open Joint Stock Company Mining and Metallurgical Company Norilsk Nickel, Sherritt International Corp., and Umicore S.A. Other vendors mentioned in the report are BHP Billiton plc, Chambishi Metals plc, Formation Metals Inc., and Vale S.A. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Global Cobalt market is experiencing supply challenges as a result of issues principally in the DRC, such as the government's ban on the export of raw minerals, project ownership grabs, power and water shortages, armed conflicts, and general political and socio-economic instability in the West African region. The supply side of cobalt is shrinking while the demand for the metal is increasing, which is leading to higher prices for cobalt in the market. Due to the lack of reliability of the supply from the DRC and limited inventories, the Global Cobalt market is facing supply pressures which will drive cobalt prices higher in the coming years. According to the report, one of the key drivers in this market is the increased demand for cobalt from the Battery Chemicals industry for the production of rechargeable and recyclable batteries. Since cobalt is a strategic metal, another key driver is the increased use of cobalt in various industries and sectors such as Battery Chemicals, Superalloys, Renewable Energy, Healthcare, Defense, and Catalysts.
