Tantalum is pretty rare, being estimated only to average two parts per million in the earth’s crust. And compared with the “major” metals, such as copper, the tantalum industry is tiny. During the Second World War new electronic applications for tantalum were developed which triggered a new round of exploration.

AI Customer ServiceWhile tantalum may not be high up the ranking of highly sought-after battery metals, its geological relationship with lithium has led to a dramatic leap in its production. Experts say the world’s lithium shortage is forecast to last for another three years at least.
Ta has been labelled as critical raw materials by the European Union since 2020, and it is noted that the supply crisis of Ta has kept increasing since 2017. In the era of economic globalization, the production and supply of tantalum affect the development of related industries.
However, the resource of tantalum is scarce (less than 300 kt Ta in the earth’s crust) , and this could easily lead to Ta supply crisis. Ta has been labelled as critical raw materials by the European Union since 2020, and it is noted that the supply crisis of Ta has kept increasing since 2017.
Because of the benign economic climate between 1999 and 2005, global tantalum production gradually increased to 1916 t. However, Ta production has decreased for several years in a row since 2006, and it was mainly a result of the global financial crisis at that time .
The demand for tantalum carbide declined due to the substitution of tungsten and other hard alloys. Shipments of capacitor-grade tantalum powder fluctuated slightly, but kept at high values. The supply of Ta milling products decreased.
Asia-Pacific dominated the market across the world, with the largest consumption from China and South Korea. While tantalum may not be high up the ranking of highly sought-after battery metals, its geological relationship with lithium has led to a dramatic leap in its production.
