Beryllium Market Size Worth $80.7 Million By 2025

The global beryllium market size is expected to reach USD 80.7 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising consumption of beryllium owing to its superior physical and mechanical properties is expected to drive growth. 

Increasing penetration of the metal in the aerospace and defense sector is expected to drive the product demand. The aerospace industry consumes around 15% of the overall beryllium that is produced due to the superior properties exhibited by the product including high stiffness and thermal & electrical conductivity.

Beryllium and its alloys are used to effectively manufacture functioning products that cater to a wide range of end-use industries such as aerospace, energy, automotive, medical, electronics, and defense. The growing defense industry in economies such as China, Japan, and India owing to high investments is expected to drive growth in the region.

The U.S. is a major consumer of the metal. The Department of Defense, U.S., has recognized high-purity beryllium as a critical material for the manufacturing of aerospace and defense components, owing to which, the product is stockpiled for defense-related applications in the event of national emergency. This is expected to lower the availability of the product for other applications including oil & gas and industrial components.
