Tantalum (Ta) is a complex, blue-gray, lustrous, rare transition metal with high corrosion resistance and has an atomic number of 73. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Tantalum market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecast period. Factors such as the growing demand for Tantalum in manufacturing capacitors, semiconductors, surgical equipment, missile parts, heat exchangers, tanks, vessels, and chemical processing equipment are driving the Tantalum market. The surging demand for alloy in various end-user industries like the Automotive, Aerospace, and Biotechnology industry is expected to increase the demand for Tantalum as its acts as one of the prime raw materials for these alloys. Properties of Tantalum such as flexibility, high conductivity, and corrosion resistance make it of great utility to the electronic and chemical industry. Furthermore, the growing application of Tantalum in orthopedic implants in the Medical sector is set to drive the demand for Tantalum in the forecasted periods. Also, its excellent act in making the ultra-high frequency electron tubes ideal for radio transmitters. However, factors like the harmful consequences of Tantalum powder, volatility in raw material prices, and surging imbalance of demand supply can restrain the Global Tantalum Market.

Tantalum is used to manufacture capacitors, semiconductors, high power resistors, jet engine components, chemical processing equipment, missile parts, nuclear reactors, heat exchangers, tanks, vessels, wires & filaments, surgical equipment and implants, radio transmitters, vacuum furnace, valve bodies, explosive penetrator, camera lenses.

The Electronic Industry is the prime consumer of Tantalum globally and is expected to drive the future market. Tantalum is mainly used in metal powder to produce electronic devices like semiconductors, capacitors, and some high-power resistors. The tantalum electrolytic capacitors utilize the propensity of Tantalum to make a preserved surface layer of oxide, which acts as a fine layer of dielectric, and a high capacitance can be achieved in small volumes. These size and weight benefits of tantalum capacitors attract manufacturers of automotive electronics, personal computers, portable telephones, and cameras. Thus, over 75% of electronics carry Tantalum in some form. The dependence of humans on technology increases with the increase in the global population. As a result, it is tough to survive for any sector without computers and other electronic items and gadgets. Therefore, the surge in demand for computers and other electronic items which use small tantalum capacitors has increased the Global tantalum Market. Tantalum is used to manufacture a variety of alloys with high melting points, elasticity, and strength. It is worn in making carbide tools for metalworking equipment after alloying with other metals, thus producing superalloys for nuclear reactors, vessels, missile parts tanks, and jet engines. Therefore, the defense and aerospace industries are also great customers of Tantalum and contribute to the growth opportunity for the Global tantalum Market. Furthermore, Tantalum has been shown a valuable material for the medical and biotechnology industry. Since Tantalum is opposed to reacting with any body fluids and happens to be non-irritating, it is extensively used to manufacture surgical instruments. Tantalum is also a bioinert substances and can be utilized as an orthopedic implant. Also, it is a non-ferrous and non-magnetic metals, so these implants are acceptable to patients. The growing demands for these applications in the medical and biotechnology industry propel the Global tantalum Market in the forecasted period.

The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to be the largest consumer of Tantalum in the forecasted year. The growth is attributed to the development of the end-user industries, such as Electronics, Medical, and Aerospace. The market began developing in North America but has tilted towards the east to appearing countries like Japan, China, and India, where it is now thriving. The increasing population and need for electronic devices in the Asia Pacific region have made the electronic Industry one of the most improving industries. Reserving its status as the workshop globally, China is the largest consumer of Tantalum in the APAC region with a hugely competitive market. Electronic and Defense industries are the ideal consumers of Tantalum in China. China is recognized for making cheaper and more advanced electronic items throughout the globe. In 2014-2015, 286.2 million personal computer, i.e., 90.6 % of the world supply, and 1.77 billion mobile phone, i.e., 70.6 % of the worldwide supply, were produced in China, making it the critical contributor to the Global Tantalum market. However, due to some border controversy between India and China, Indians boycott Chinese products by boosting their 'Make in India' campaign. This has undoubtedly affected the Chinese market a bit, but there is no resistance to the overall market growth in the Asia Pacific Region.

Major international players in the Industry were Global Advanced Metals Pty Ltd, Pilbara Minerals, Alliance Mineral Assets Limited, Ningxia Orient Tantalum Industry Co. Ltd., AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group, American Elements, Stanford Advanced Materials, Edgetech Industries, Zhuzhou Jiabang, Changsha South.

Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada Limited has made various recent improvements on every stage of the flowsheet, which gave the 10 % increase in the recovery. Due to the continuously decreasing grade and grain size of Tantalum minerals, modifications to the customarily used two-staged gravity circuit have been required. The company also discussed future improvements, the possibility of tantalum floatation, and on-stream analysis.
