Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Market: Drivers and Challenges
The increasing demand due to growing end-use industries is one of the key factors driving the global molybdenum disulfide market growth. The high strength and low weight of molybdenum lead to its use in the aviation sector to minimize vibration and increase pilot and passenger comfort. It is also used to stabilize control surfaces for aircraft ailerons, elevators, and rudder sections, helicopter rotor blades, and cockpit instruments. In addition, molybdenum is an ideal option for use in LEDs, lasers, photonics, photovoltaics, and other microelectronics applications due to its low electrical conductivity and superior radiation stability. Therefore, the increase in demand in various end-user industries for molybdenum will drive the global MoS2 market growth during the forecast period.
The presence of alternative materials is one of the major challenges faced by the global molybdenum disulfide market growth. The easy availability of substitutes such as tungsten disulfide (WS2) is lowering the demand for MoS2. Other features of WS2, compared with molybdenum disulfides, such as low coefficient of friction, good chemical stability, and thermal stability, will also raise the demand for tungsten disulfide. Moreover, when switching from bulk material to a 2D material, the bandgap of WS2 changes from an indirect bandgap of 1.4eV to a direct bandgap of 2eV, precisely like MoS2. Due to this bandgap, WS2 is considered an intriguing material for a wide range of applications. Therefore, with similar properties to that of MoS2, tungsten disulfide can potentially hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
