Form – Segment Analysis
Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Powder segment held the largest share in the Molybdenum Disulfide Market in 2018. A fine powder is used for its well-documented lubrication characteristics. Using MoS2 in large crystal form is more difficult for being used as a substrate material.
Application – Segment Analysis
The lubricant sector has been the primary market for Molybdenum Disulfide for many years. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) friction coefficient can be as low as 0.05. Diluted acids and oxygen are also not affected. Such properties help provide a wide variety of loads with effective lubrication. The low friction coefficient of MoS2 helps to transfer lubricant between two mating surfaces to reduce wear and tear for heavy vehicles like trucks and construction vehicles.
End-Use Industry – Segment Analysis
Automotive & The transportation sector has been the primary market for Molybdenum Disulfide for many years is growing at a CAGR of 3.98%. It is widely used in greases and grease-like products for lubrication and for automotive systems such as ball joints, wheel bearing, pedal shafts, steering linkages, and lubrication control arms are commonly used. It is a suitable material used to chassis lubrication for trucks and construction vehicles. Railway curve-rail greases with MoS2 can be used in the transport sector to reduce wheel wear and the consumption of fuel.
Geography – Segment Analysis
APAC dominated the Molybdenum Disulfide Market share with more than 35%, followed by North America and Europe. The usage in many end-use applications driving rapid growth in end-use industries like automobiles, transport, electronics, constructions and general engineering. The growth of the Asia-Pacific manufacturing sector has led to increasing demand for low-friction coatings and lubricants due to the change in manufacturing bases by global players due to the availability of cheap raw materials and labor. In addition, the major markets of electronics production in countries such as China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan have global demand. Thus, expected to remain steady demand for MoS2, which is added to semiconductors, transistors, LEDs, lasers of solar cells and others. The automobile and construction industries are seeing tremendous growth as a result of increasing infrastructure investments in emerging economies such as India, driven by the region’s rapid urbanization.
