Niobium
88% of the world's Niobium is produced in only one country¹ - Brazil - which increases supply chain risk
and has forced the U.S. Government to stockpile Niobium.

NIOBIUM: A Critical Supply Risk To The U.S.
Market growth is expected to rise sharply with the expected use of niobium in next-generation Lithium-
Ion batteries, which enables faster battery charging.²
Light-weighting of transportation systems and strengthening of bridges and mega-infrastructure projects
are expected to drive additional long-term growth.
Highly liquid global market with many users and a growing number of applications.

Global Niobium Demand Drivers
Stronger and
lighter steels for
buildings &
infrastructure
mega-projects
0.025% Niobium in
the steel of the
Millau Viaduct
bridge reduced the
weight of steel and
concrete by 60% in
the overall project.³
Growing
demand for
lighter weight
and more fuel-
efficient cars,
trucks, and
buses
300 grams Nb
reduces the weight
of mid-size car by
200 kg and
increases fuel
efficiency by 5%.³
