The India ruthenium market import shipment demonstrated a steady but slow growth trend with a CAGR of 0.3% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a notable uptick in growth between 2023 and 2024, indicating a potential acceleration in market expansion during that period.
India is the world???s third-largest producer of ruthenium and is one the top importers in this market. The country produces around 485 tons of ruthenium per year and consumes more than 300 tons per annum. India imports most of its ruthenium from Russia, South Africa, US, Canada, Kazakhstan and China. Growing applications across various industries such as automotive, electrical & electronics and jewellery are expected to drive the demand for Ruthenium in India over the coming years.
Increasing use of Ruthenium in catalysts used for refining petroleum products is driving demand for Ruthenum in India. It finds major application due to its high temperature resistance ability which makes it ideal for operations involving high temperature environments including exhaust systems and emission control pipelines. This has resulted into increased usage among manufacturers operating within these sectors that will further supplement growth. In addition to this growing applications across jewelry making sector owing to increasing fashion trends along with rising disposable income will also propel product penetration.Furthermore apart from being used as coating material due to its noncorrosive nature it can also be employed as doping agent which stimulates semiconductor performance opening new avenues of growth within electrical & electronics industry.
Volatility in global prices coupled with stringent regulations related to production may impede market expansion. Further supply chain disruptions caused by COVID 19 pandemic have resulted into higher costs thus affecting production capacities thereby restraining growth prospects on short term basis.
Some key players operating within India Ruteniun Market include Umicore SA , Johnson Matthey plc , Tanaka Precious Metals Co Ltd., Allomet Corporation , Chemours Company etc.
The spread of coronavirus has had a significant impact on the global economy resulting into slowdown in manufacturing activities especially those associated with metal industry where lockdown imposed led towards complete closure causing hindrance throughout value chain disrupting supplies thus hampering overall industry outlook. However after gradual reopening restrictions have been eased somewhat allowing certain industrial activity although at much lower levels when compared prior outbreak. With slowly improving economic conditions there exists an expectation that any decline witnessed shall eventually recover aiding recovery process.
