Brazil Mercury Market

Synopsis
The above chart is Brazil Mercury Market Outlook (2018 to 2032)

Market Dynamics

the brazil mercury market outlook for 2018-2032 is one that is largely optimistic. many industry experts cite the country’s rising middle-class, and the adoption of modern technologies and techniques, as major drivers for an anticipated growth in the total available market for mercury in brazil. in 2018, brazil is the world's third largest producer of mercurial compounds, with china and russia standing in the top two spots. looking ahead to the period from 2018-2032, the brazilian government is planning on incentivizing the country’s mercury producers to innovate and become increasingly competitive with those of other nations. brazil will be doing this by introducing laws that incentivize cleaner production, reducing the country’s reliance on out-of-date processes. another major driver in the future demand of mercury in brazil will come if the country continues to expand its production of lithium-ion batteries, which will require more of the element mercury for the production process. in addition, the brazilian government is investing heavily in energy initiatives that are expected to lead to the widespread adoption of renewable energy. this could potentially cause an increased demand for energy-efficient mercury lamps throughout the country. on the other hand, there has been a push in recent years to reduce the amount of mercury used in production processes in brazil. this is due, in part, to industry regulations and health concerns. as a result, brazilians are making attempts to find alternative sources of mercury and to develop new technologies that will reduce the need for the element altogether. overall, demand for mercury in brazil is expected to increase over the next decade and beyond. there are already numerous areas of the country in which the element is being widely utilized, and if the country continues to invest in its overall mercury production processes and its renewable energy initiatives, then this demand can be expected to increase well into the future.
