2011 Annual Review of Molybdenum

molybdenum plating is a widely used worldwide metal element, about 80% of the molybdenum-containing molybdenum alloy is used.  Molybdenum largest end market is the oil and gas industry. Molybdenum products varied, with ammonium, molybdenum oxide, iron, molybdenum powder, molybdenum catalyst, molybdenum pigments, organic molybdenum and other forms to meet different needs. Since molybdenum in the environment and energy-related industries will be used increasingly, the application of molybdenum per year growth rate higher than the growth rate of the world economy.

2011 Because molybdenum price weakness at home and abroad molybdenum and molybdenum producers cut or stop production, molybdenum growth slowed.
2011 China's total production of molybdenum 216,000 t, equivalent to the amount of molybdenum 97,200 t, an increase of 11%. From a global perspective, 2011 years ago, three quarters of North American production of molybdenum 54 000 t, an increase  18.7%;  South America Molybdenum crucible production 38,600 t, an increase of 8.3%, the Western countries Total molybdenum production was 92,600 t, an increase of 14.2 %.
Major Asian origin, including China, Iran, Kazakhstan and Mongolia, where the largest output in China.  2011 Asian molybdenum production was 93 000 t of molybdenum, an increase of 7.9%. The main origin of the Americas United States, Chile, Peru, Mexico and Canada, with the U.S. the largest output. Americas Molybdenum Molybdenum production was 130,000 t, an increase of 8.9%. Various regions of molybdenum concentrate output in 2011 are shown in Table 2.
Table 12010 ~ 2011 t of molybdenum molybdenum production worldwide
From April 2011 began, because of the cost and the selling price of a serious long-term upside, Chinese enterprises to take molybdenum production. From June onwards China began active molybdenum mine production.
Molybdenum weak domestic market as a whole forward.Molybdenum chemical market as raw material prices fell slightly while slightly lower, the market outlook, the majority of molybdenum chemical companies do not hold out much hope, individual enterprises have plans discontinued projects.Currently covered by the macroeconomic impact, coupled with the domestic raw material prices continue to decline, a number of downstream enterprises have ceased production of molybdenum chemicals more, eventually leading molybdenum chemical market has been no signs of improvement.

Molybdenum demand flat.  Affected by the impact of the global slowdown in economic growth, stainless steel and other industries downstream demand for molybdenum downward trend.Weak downstream demand is the main reason for molybdenum prices in the doldrums..Cn. In such an environment, the molybdenum market to withstand enormous pressure, the main factors are: the downstream steel industry downturn caused by weak demand, increasing supply exceeds demand growth in the short term due to excess capacity and the uncertain economic outlook.
