Key Points

  • Cobalt demand fell due to low-cobalt battery tech and human rights concerns, leading to a 60% price drop.
  • DRC implemented a temporary cobalt export ban in early 2025, raising prices temporarily by over a third.
  • New export quotas in DRC from 2026-2027 aim to halve cobalt exports compared to 2024 levels, affecting supply.
