Top 10 Cobalt Producers by Country (Updated 2024)

Battery metal cobalt has been in focus in recent years for its role in lithium-ion batteries, bringing attention to the top cobalt producing countries.

One of the metal’s main catalysts is the electric vehicle roll out. The lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles and energy storage require lithium, graphite and cobalt, among other raw materials, and demand for these important commodities is expected to keep rising as the shift toward clean technologies continues at a global scale.

Additionally, the metal is predominantly produced as a by-product of copper and nickel, two other metals that are important for the green transition.
