预计镍市场在预测期内的复合年增长率将超过 4.8%。

镍市场-IMG1

2021年镍市场规模突破210万吨。

COVID-19大流行的爆发以及由此产生的封锁、社会疏远规范和贸易制裁对全球供应链网路造成了巨大破坏,并严重阻碍了镍市场的成长。主要国家的长期停工导致工业活动放缓,影响了镍需求和价格。为了因应疫情,亚洲镍业和全球镍铁控股等主要矿业公司已暂停了部分业务。然而,随着工业部门的稳定復苏和采矿活动的恢復,预计镍需求在预测期内将增加。

主要亮点

  • 从中期来看,不銹钢合金中镍需求的增加预计将推动镍市场的成长。目前,每年销售的镍中约有三分之二用于不銹钢。此外,汽车电池、风力发电机能源储存系统和太阳能电池板等应用对廉价镍的需求不断增加也是市场成长的主要推动力。
  • 严格的环境法规以及镍熔炼过程中二氧化硫排放增加带来的潜在健康风险,镍价的波动可能会阻碍市场成长。
  • 电动车的日益普及以及镍在医疗产业的新应用可能会成为未来的机会。
  • 由于镍消费率高以及主要不銹钢和电池製造商的存在,预计亚太地区未来将主导镍市场。此外,中国和印度需求的激增预计将提振金属市场前景。

镍市场趋势

不銹钢需求增加

  • 镍在不銹钢的生产中发挥重要作用。它是用于製造不銹钢的主要商业等级合金之一。镍合金占全球不銹钢生产製程的近三分之二。一般来说,常用的不锈钢类型含有8%的镍。
  • 由于其耐腐蚀性、耐用性和广泛的可用性,不銹钢被用于食品和饮料、建筑、航太、运输、医疗和化学等各个领域。
  • 根据国际不锈钢论坛(ISSF)统计,2021年不锈钢产量达5,630万吨,与前一年同期比较增加10.6%。
  • 考虑到乌克兰战争、库存膨胀和供应链中断等因素导致需求减少,MEPS将2022年的产量预测下调至5,650万吨。不过,预计2023年将恢復至6,000万吨。
  • 中国的不銹钢工厂消耗了一半以上的原镍。 2021年中国不锈钢产量与前一年同期比较增1.6%至3,060万吨,占全球产量的54.4%。
  • 同样,根据世界金属统计局的数据,2021年印度不锈钢产量达到400万吨左右,2020-2021与前一年同期比较增25%。
  • 受上述因素影响,未来不銹钢产业对镍市场的需求可能会增加。

亚太地区主导市场

  • 亚太地区占据消费量。这主要是由于大型不銹钢製造企业和电池製造商的存在。主要镍矿集中在菲律宾、新喀里多尼亚、澳洲、印尼和中国,使该地区成为最大的镍生产国。
  • 根据美国地质调查局(USGS)统计,印尼拥有全球最大的镍蕴藏量,预计2021年开采量为2,100万吨。此外,菲律宾、中国和澳洲总共拥有2,860万吨的开采蕴藏量。
  • 根据世界金属统计局预计,2022年1月至9月中国镍需求量预估为112万吨,较2021年增加98.1千吨。印尼2022年1月至9月镍产量79万吨,年增23%。
  • 此外,电动车(EV)镍消费量的增加预计也将提振该地区的市场,因为它占镍需求的很大一部分。
  • 2021年中国电动车销量总合,较2020年的130万辆成长154%。中国中央政府推广电动车的重大措施预计将增加该国对镍的需求。
  • 同样在 2021 年 10 月,塔塔汽车公司(印度汽车製造商)为一家新的电动车子公司获得了 750 亿印度卢比(10.1 亿美元)的投资。塔塔汽车和 TPG Rise Climate 已达成一项具有约束力的协议,根据该协议,TPG Rise Climate 将与联合投资者 ADQ 一起投资塔塔汽车新成立的子公司。
  • 由于 COVID-19 的影响,许多最终用途对镍的需求有所下降。然而,随着各终端用户产业的復苏,预计该地区的镍需求在预测期内将成长。

镍产业概况

镍市场较为分散。主要企业包括诺里尔斯克镍业公司、淡水河谷公司、必和必拓公司、金川集团国际资源公司和嘉能可公司。

The Nickel Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 4.8% during the forecast period.

Nickel - Market - IMG1

The nickel market was valued at more than 2.1 million tons in 2021.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdowns, social distancing norms, and trade sanctions triggered massive disruptions across the global supply chain networks, severely hampering the growth of the nickel market. The extended lockdowns across major economies resulted in a slowdown in industrial activity, thereby impacting the demand and price of nickel. Major mining companies like Nickel Asia and Global Ferronickel Holdings suspended some of their operations in response to the pandemic, with some players citing the limited ability to keep current maintenance shutdown schedules. However, with the steady recovery of the industrial sector and the resumption of mining activities, demand for nickel is anticipated to rise during the forecast period.

Key Highlights

  • Over the medium term, the growth of the nickel market is likely to be driven by the increasing demand for nickel in stainless steel alloys. Currently, about two-thirds of nickel sold each year goes into stainless steel. Also, increasing demand for nickel in automobile batteries, energy storage systems in wind turbines, or solar panels at a lower cost is the major driving factor for the market growth.
  • Stringent environmental regulations and possible health risks due to increasing sulfur dioxide emissions from the nickel melting process and volatility in nickel prices are likely to hinder the market's growth.
  • The growing popularity of electric vehicles and the emerging application of nickel in the medical industry are likely to act as opportunities in the future.
  • Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the nickel market in the future, due to the high consumption rate of nickel and the presence of large stainless steel manufacturing companies and battery manufacturers in this region. Furthermore, burgeoning demand in China and India is expected to boost the prospects of the metal market.

Nickel Market Trends

Increasing Demand for Stainless Steel

  • Nickel plays a crucial role in the manufacture of stainless steel. It is one of the major commercial grades of alloys used in stainless steel production. Nickel alloying holds for almost two-thirds of the stainless-steel production process across the world. In general, 8% of nickel is present in the commonly used grade of stainless steel.
  • Owing to its corrosion resistance, durability, and abundance in availability, stainless steel is used in various sectors, including food and beverage, construction, aerospace, transport, medical, chemical, etc.
  • According to International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF), stainless steel production increased by 10.6% year-on-year to 56.3 million metric tons in 2021.
  • In view of reduced demand owing to factors like the Ukraine war, inflated inventories, and supply chain disruptions, MEPS has lowered its production forecast to 56.5 million metric tons in 2022. However, the production is anticipated to rebound to 60 million metric tons in 2023.
  • Chinese stainless steel mills consume more than half of the primary nickel. Stainless steel production in China witnessed a year-on-year growth of 1.6% in 2021 to a total of 30.6 million metric tons which is 54.4% of the global output.
  • Similarly, according to the World Bureau of Metal Statistics, Indian production of stainless steel reached around 4 million metric tons in 2021, registering a year-on-year growth of 25% between 2020-2021.
  • Owing to the above-mentioned factors, the demand in the nickel market from stainless steel industry is likely to increase in the future.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

  • Asia-Pacific holds the major share in the consumption of nickel. This is primarily due to the presence of large stainless-steel manufacturing companies and battery manufacturers. The major nickel ore concentrations in the Philippines, New Caledonia, Australia, Indonesia, and China are instrumental in making the region the largest producer of nickel.
  • According to US Geological Survey (USGS), Indonesia have the world's largest nickel reserve with a mining reserve of 21 million metric tons in 2021. Furthermore, the Philippines, China, and Australia have a combined mining reserve of 28.6 million metric tons.
  • According to the World Bureau of Metal Statistics, the demand for nickel in China during the first 9 months of 2022 was estimated at 1.12 million tons, an increase of 98.1 kilo tons in comparison to 2021. In Indonesia, the production of nickel between January and September 2022 was 0.79 million tons, registering a year-on-year increase of 23%.
  • Furthermore, the increasing consumption level of nickel in Electric Vehicles (EVs) is also expected to boost the market in the region, as it accounts for a considerable share of nickel demand.
  • China is the global leader in the electric car market, with the sales of new electric vehicles being four times higher than that of the United States.A total of 3.3 million units of Electic Vehicles (EVs) were sold in China in 2021, registering an increase of 154% compared to 1.3 million units sold in 2020. The Chinese central government's principal policies to promote electric vehicles are expected to increase the demand for nickel in the country.
  • Also, In Oct, 2021, Tata Motors (Indian automaker) secured an INR 7,500 crore (USD 1.01 billion) investment for new EV subsidiary. Tata Motors and TPG Rise Climate have entered into a binding agreement whereby the latter along with co-investor ADQ, will invest in a newly incorporated subsidiary of Tata Motors.
  • Due to the impact of COVID-19, the demand for nickel has reduced from many end-use applications. However, with recovery in various end user industries, the demand for nickel is expected to grow in the region during the forecast period.
