Top 10 Cobalt Producers by Country (Updated 2024)

The cobalt market is facing high demand, but analysts advise that production is also on the rise.

One of the metal’s main catalysts is excitement about electric vehicles.

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

According to the US Geological Survey, world production has increased significantly over the past two years.
