The India Cobalt Powder Market is poised for significant growth, with its valuation reaching USD 45 million in 2024 and projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.9%, reaching approximately USD 67 million by 2030. This upward trajectory is driven by increasing industrial applications, particularly in the battery, aerospace, and medical implant sectors. The market’s expansion aligns with India’s growing focus on renewable energy and advanced manufacturing, where cobalt powder plays a pivotal role.
Cobalt powder, a key material in powder metallurgy and alloy production, is highly sought after for its durability and conductivity. As industries transition toward sustainable and high-performance materials, cobalt powder has become indispensable in applications ranging from lithium-ion batteries to superalloys used in aerospace. Moreover, India’s push for domestic battery manufacturing under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme is further accelerating demand.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
India’s cobalt powder market is primarily driven by the southern and western industrial hubs, where major battery manufacturers and aerospace companies are concentrated. States like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka are emerging as key demand centers due to their established industrial infrastructure. Meanwhile, the northern region, particularly the National Capital Region (NCR), is witnessing growth owing to expanding automotive and electronics manufacturing.
Globally, China dominates cobalt production, but India’s strategic partnerships with cobalt-rich nations like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are strengthening supply chains. Domestic production remains limited, making imports crucial. However, government initiatives to promote mineral processing and recycling are expected to enhance local supply stability in the coming years.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption is one of the strongest drivers of cobalt powder demand, as it is a critical component in lithium-ion battery cathodes. Additionally, India’s defense and aerospace sectors are increasingly using cobalt-based superalloys for high-temperature applications, creating further demand. The medical sector also presents growth potential, particularly in orthopedic and dental implants where cobalt-chromium alloys are favored for their biocompatibility.
Another significant opportunity lies in recycling initiatives. With global cobalt supplies under scrutiny due to ethical mining concerns, India’s focus on battery recycling and urban mining projects could position it as a key player in sustainable cobalt sourcing. Investments in R&D for cobalt-free or reduced-cobalt battery technologies also present long-term opportunities for market participants.
Challenges & Restraints
Despite strong demand, the market faces challenges, including price volatility due to geopolitical factors affecting cobalt mining in key regions like the DRC. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations on mining and processing could constrain supply. Another hurdle is the growing shift toward cobalt-free battery chemistries, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP), which threatens traditional demand.
Supply chain disruptions, compounded by India’s reliance on imports, pose another risk. The government’s recent emphasis on domestic manufacturing and self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat) may mitigate some of these concerns, but infrastructural and technological gaps in local processing remain a challenge.
