Key Findings- There is a huge demand for nickel across the world, as its widely used in almost every sector.
- The main demand driver is stainless steel production level.
- Both the European and the Asia Pacific regions are the largest consumers of nickel.
- The factors that are driving the growth in these regions vary from country to country.
- The supply-demand gap for nickel is increasing with limited supply and increasing demand.
- Worldwide nickel production growth will be limited in 2006.
- The austenitic ratio (nickel based stainless steel) is increasing while the scrap ratio is decreasing in 2006.
- The future opportunities are immense, particularly, in aerospace sector, Gas turbine manufacturing sector and nickel based battery sector.
