Compared with the 2024 production peak of 129.1 kt.

Consumption Change
+4.1%

Compared with 2024 total consumption of 118.9 kt.

Headline market trend

From 2020 to 2024, global vanadium production increased from 109.4 kt to 129.1 kt, before easing to 122.7 kt in 2025. Over the same period, annual total consumption rose from 103.1 kt in 2020 to 123.7 kt in 2025, reaching a new high.

This means that 2025 stands out as a year in which demand strengthened further while production moved lower than the previous year, resulting in a much tighter overall market balance.

Annual total vanadium consumption reached a record level in 2025, while annual total production remained strong but below the 2024 peak.
