Porter's Analysis on Molybdenum
Supplier Power
- Supplier power is medium to high, as the top five suppliers account for approx. 47 percent of the total global molybdenum production
- This will be offset slightly by commoditized nature of molybdenum at a global level
- This trend is not expected to change in the upcoming years
Barriers to New Entrants
- Production of molybdenum is capital intensive process and requires high upfront cost
- The existing players also have robust distribution networks, whereas the new players have to make significant investments for the same
- Large economies of scale and requirement of technical expertise deter new entrants and hence, barriers to new entrants in the market is high
Intensity of Rivalry
- The intensity of rivalry is expected to be high in upcoming years among the mining companies
- Most of the molybdenum producers are backward integrated, having their own source of raw materials
- This would lead to further intensity of rivalry among the market suppliers
Threat of Substitutes
-
There are very few substitutes for molybdenum in its major application in steel and cast iron
-
Potential substitutes for molybdenum include:
-
Boron, chromium, niobium (columbium), and vanadium in alloy steels
-
Tungsten in tool steels
-
Graphite, tantalum, and tungsten for refractory materials in high-temperature electric furnaces
-
Cadmium-red, chrome-orange, and organic- orange pigments for molybdenum orange
-
Overall the threat of substitute is medium to low
Buyer Power
- Buyer power is medium, owing to main use in steel and alloys products. This is slightly offset by demand from different types of end-use industries ranging from power to chemicals
- No sector has very high buying power while procuring molybdenum
