The Thailand Cobalt Market is poised for steady growth rate improvements from 2025 to 2029. Commencing at 3.89% in 2025, growth builds up to 12.41% by 2029.
The Cobalt market in Thailand is projected to grow at a growing growth rate of 5.06% by 2027, highlighting the country's increasing focus on advanced technologies within the Asia region, where China holds the dominant position, followed closely by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, shaping overall regional demand.
The cobalt market in Thailand was estimated to be worth around US$14 million in 2025. The country`s cobalt reserves are estimated at 8,000 tonnes and the majority of it is exported. The biggest importer of Thai cobalt ore is China, which accounted for a share of more than 70% in 2025. Domestic demand for cobalt has been increasing steadily over the last few years due to its application in battery production as well as other industrial uses such as catalysts and pigment production.
Cobalt is a critical component in various industries, including electronics, aerospace, and renewable energy. The Thailand cobalt market is influenced by the global demand for products containing cobalt, such as lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and electronic devices. As these industries experience growth and innovation, the demand for cobalt remains robust. While Thailand is not a major producer of cobalt, it plays a role in the supply chain through refining, processing, and trading activities.
The Thailand cobalt market encounters challenges related to supply chain transparency and ethical sourcing. Cobalt is a critical component in various industries, including electronics and batteries, and its extraction in some regions has been associated with human rights violations and environmental concerns. Ensuring responsible sourcing practices and addressing these ethical concerns are vital challenges for the cobalt industry.
The cobalt market in Thailand faced challenges during the pandemic due to disruptions in global supply chains and decreased industrial demand. Cobalt is used in various applications, including batteries for electric vehicles, aerospace, and electronics. The automotive industry`s slowdown and delays in electric vehicle production impacted the demand for cobalt. However, as economies started to recover and industries adapted to the new circumstances, the cobalt market began to stabilize, driven by the increasing focus on renewable energy and electric mobility.
