For those uninitiated, bismuth is a white, brittle crystalline element which has a pinkish tinge and possess similar chemical properties to that of antimony and arsenic. It is found in ores such as bismite and bismuthinite. Its low thermal conductivity, high electrical resistance and diamagnetic properties have allowed for its use across various industry verticals.
 

Rising adoption of bismuth in automotive applications is one of the key factors driving the market growth. In fact, Minor Metals Trade Association states that around 2 ounces of bismuth is utilized per vehicle.
 

Increasing automobile production is also facilitating the market expansion. According to OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturer), global production of passenger cars totaled at 72.10 million units in 2016, which increased to 73.45 million units in the year 2017. It further states that worldwide commercial vehicle production, which includes both heavy trucks & buses as well as lightweight vehicles, had reached 22.87 million units in 2016 and grew to 23.84 million units in the year 2017.
