The global Cadmium market size is predicted to grow from US$ 39.7 million in 2025 to US$ 43.3 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.5% from 2025 to 2031.
Cadmium is a chemical element with symbol Cd and atomic number 48. This soft, bluish-white metal is chemically similar to the two other stable metals in group 12, namely zinc and mercury. Like zinc, it demonstrates oxidation state +2 in most of its compounds, and like mercury, it has a lower melting point than the transition metals in groups 3 through 11. Cadmium and its congeners in group 12 are often not considered transition metals, in that they do not have partly filled d or f electron shells in the elemental or common oxidation states. The average concentration of cadmium in Earth"s crust is between 0.1 and 0.5 parts per million (ppm).
The principal source of cadmium is zinc ore, sphalerite. Other sulphides and sulphosalts may also carry small amounts of the metal.
In the world, the consumption areas of cadmium are mainly China, Europe, Korea and india. China is the largest production country in the world, which occupied about 35%. The production areas of cadmium are mainly China, Korea, Japan, Europe and the North America. Moreover, Korea Zinc, Nyrstar NV, Teck Resources Ltd., Young Poong Corp, Zhuzhou Smelter Group, Huludao Zinc Industry, Mitsui Mining and Smelting, Dowa Metals and Mining, Grupo México and Luoping Zinc & Electricity are well-known venders, with about 44% market shares.
