Rubidium, a silver-white soft metal with an atomic number of 37, is highly reactive and commonly found in rubidium oxide or carbonate. It is not widely used in battery technologies, but small quantities of it and cesium could improve sodium-ion batteries' performance. Rubidium carbonate is used in various industries, including specialty glasses, fiber optic cables, telecommunications systems, medical devices, atomic clocks, and quantum computing. Its melting point is 39 degrees Celsius. Rubidium is a key component in advanced batteries, particularly for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications. The demand for electric vehicles is growing due to climate change and air pollution concerns, leading to the need for batteries with improved energy storage capacity and longer lifespans. Rubidium-based batteries are attractive for electric vehicle manufacturers due to their high energy density and long cycle life. The rising demand for rubidium in batteries is expected to drive growth in the rubidium market industry. Advancements in rubidium extraction and processing technologies, including zinnwaldite and petalite, have reduced costs and improved efficiency, making rubidium more accessible and enhancing its quality. However, the high cost of rubidium hinders its global market growth, as few applications use it as a key raw element due to its unique outer shell electron.
The lepidolite segment is predicted to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.
Based on the production process, the rubidium market is classified into lepidolite, pollucite, and others. Among these, the lepidolite segment is predicted to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. Rubidium, an alkali metal, is found in minerals like pollucite, carnallite, leucite, and lepidolite. It is commercially recovered from lepidolite as a byproduct of lithium extraction. Lepidolite is a precious multi-metal resource, used to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate, contributing to its growth.
The biomedical research segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share during the projected timeframe.
Based on the application, the rubidium market is divided into biomedical research, electronics, specialty glass, pyrotechnics, and others. Among these, the biomedical research segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share during the projected timeframe. Radioactive rubidium is used for perfusion imaging in the myocardium, affecting brain tumor cells. It collects more in brain tumors than normal tissue, allowing nuclear medicine to locate and image them. Rubidium iodide is sometimes substituted for potassium iodide in thyroid gland enlargement treatment and used as an antishock agent after arsenical drug administration.
The technical grade metal segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share during the projected timeframe.
Based on the grade, the rubidium market is divided into technical-grade metal and high-purity grade. Among these, the technical grade metal segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share during the projected timeframe. Technical-grade metal is a high-quality rubidium metal suitable for industrial and scientific applications. It is derived from extraction and refining processes like lepidolite or cesium production byproducts. Its slightly higher impurity levels are acceptable for applications where purity isn't crucial. Technical-grade metal is widely used in electronics and atomic research.
North America is estimated to hold the largest share of the rubidium market over the forecast period.
North America is estimated to hold the largest share of the rubidium market over the forecast period. Cabot was the main company that collected rubidium in the United States, primarily from salt lake brine. In addition, Canada is the world's top producer of rubidium salt and ore. The raw materials used to produce rubidium salt in the US and other countries come from the Bernie Lake mining area in Lake Manitoba, Canada. The ore from this region is exported to other nations.
Asia Pacific is predicted to have the fastest CAGR growth in the rubidium market over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific region is expected to emerge as a lucrative market for rubidium, supported by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing investments in the healthcare and electronics sectors. Countries like China, Japan, and South Korea are likely to drive demand for rubidium in electronics manufacturing, research laboratories, and healthcare facilities, fueling market growth in the region.
