Bismuth is a pentavalent chemical that resembles antimony and arsenic chemically, it occurs naturally and is a complimentary element that is 86% as dense as lead. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global bismuth market is expected to grow considerably during the forecasted period. Factors such as the expanding demand from the automotive industry and transportation sector find Bismuth's use either for its diamagnetic characteristics or for its inevitable application in rust protection coatings, brake linings, and vehicle clutch pads drive the demand for Bismuth market in the forecasted period. Further, the growing appeal towards beauty products would also drive the market's growth as Bismuth is used invariably to produce pearlescent look-giving cosmetic products. Furthermore, an environmental concern-triggered shift to Bismuth from lead is another potential global bismuth market growth driving factor in the forecasted period. However, the availability of profitable alternatives such as alumina, magnesia, and antibiotics in the pharmaceutical industry limits Bismuth's usage. Moreover, low availability and high bismuth cost are some of the hampering factors apart from a few others, like regulations on lead smelting, a source of Bismuth.

Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, industrial pigments, metallurgical additives, and fusible alloys are some of the significant applications of Bismuth. It is also used in chemicals, metallurgical, cosmetics, paints & coatings, and electronics as it is a minor toxic heavy metal. Commercially it is obtainable in the form of pellets, needles, ingots, and powder. Moreover, it can be used in place of leads across various applications.

The growing automotive industry, which includes the application of Bismuth in rust-free coatings, pearlescent coatings, brake linings, and clutch pads, is also anticipated to provide traction for the increasing bismuth market demand over the forecast period. Moreover, the growing base metal tungsten production is expected to increase bismuth supply in the market. Bismuth is a crystalline, brittle, white metal with a slight pink tinge, and it has a variety of uses, including alloys, fire extinguishers, cosmetics, and ammunition. It is among the critical ingredients in stomach ache remedies like Pepto-Bismol. Being twice as great as gold in the earth's crust, Bismuth exhibits excessive diamagnetism for any natural element, thereby acquiring a role in the future of transportation in maglev. It is also one of the less toxic heavy metals. The production of tungsten in the global market by non-Chinese producers is expected to increase soon, which will drive the global market's bismuth supply. Growing production of tungsten as Bismuth is also extracted from the tungsten ores and obtained as a by-product after lead processing is expected to fuel the market growth of Bismuth.

The Asia Pacific region is awaited to be the largest market for global Bismuth due to the presence of many end-user industries here. The growth here is also expected to be faster than in other regions for the same reason. The existence of established companies needed in a wide range of end-user industries and investment in research projects will likely influence this region's dominance. The need for cosmetics is rising daily, leading to the high demand for Bismuth as this is widely used for the products, so the product provides an iridescent appearance. It is mainly used in powered products and talc, and the high population of women uses cosmetic products, which surges the Bismuth Market Value. Currently, social media has been getting a lot of promotions. The industries are funding social media influencers as the beauty levels are rising, which improves the people to choose cosmetics and makeup products, adding valuable demand to the market. The main noticeable reason is social media's humungous following of beauty and makeup influencers. Increasing the usage of Bismuth in the battery system is projected to create many opportunities for the market. Bismuth use is growing as a thermoelectrical material across cooling and power generation systems and is expected to offer many growth opportunities for the bismuth market. The increasing use of Bismuth in many refrigerator systems and the power generation process creates ample market growth. The market will experience elevated growth in the forecasted period. The use of Bismuth is high in many commodities around the globe, and add to it, the use of Bismuth in makeup products is forming lucrative growth for the market.

The global bismuth market is fragmented. Major market players were 5N Plus, Hunan Jinwang Bismuth Industry, Hunan Shizhuyuan Nonferrous Metals, Hunan Huaxin Rare & Precious Metals Technologies, and Nui Phao Mining Company.

In October 2020, a researcher team led by a professor at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) discovered a novel antiviral strategy for treating Covid-19. The research team has recognized ranitidine bismuth citrate (RBC). This commonly used anti-ulcer drug contains the metal Bismuth to treat Helicobacter pylori-associated infection, as a strong anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent, both in vitro and in vivo. The revolutionary work has been published online in the top-class scientific journal Nature Microbiology.

Fortune Minerals Limited's wholly owned NICO Gold-Cobalt-Bismuth-Copper Project ("NICO Project"), located 160 kilometers northwest of Yellowknife, contains an Iron Oxide Copper-Gold ("IOCG") type ore deposit with proven and probable open pit and underground mineral reserves totaling 33 million tonnes containing 1.1 million ounces of gold, 82.3 million pounds of cobalt, 102.1 million pounds of Bismuth and 27.2 million pounds of copper ("NICO Deposit"). This unique composition of the deposit accounts for more than 10% of global bismuth reserves and significant gold as a counter-cyclical hedge to reduce exposure to cobalt and bismuth price volatility.
