The aerospace and automotive industries are major consumers, wherein aluminum alloys reinforced with scandium offer a combination of strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance. In aerospace, scandium–aluminum alloys contribute to fuel efficiency and emissions reduction in aircraft, while in automotive applications, they improve performance and fuel efficiency by reducing weight. Additionally, scandium finds use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and high-intensity discharge lamps. However, scandium's limited availability poses challenges to its supply chain. Most scandium is obtained as a byproduct of other mining activities, with Australia and China being major producers. The market experiences volatility in prices due to fluctuations in supply and demand dynamics. Efforts to increase primary production and develop more efficient extraction methods are underway to meet growing demand, which is likely to favor the expansion of the scandium market size by 2030.
The rising demand from the 3D printing industry contributes significantly to the scandium market growth. Scandium-containing metal alloys exhibit improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, which make them an attractive choice for producing high-performance components using 3D printers. In additive manufacturing, scandium–aluminum alloys are gaining attention for their superior strength-to-weight ratio and enhanced mechanical properties compared to traditional metals and metal alloys. Manufacturers can produce lightweight yet durable components with complex geometries and excellent dimensional accuracy by incorporating scandium into metal powders used in 3D printing processes such as selective laser melting (SLAM) and electron beam melting (EBM). Thus, advanced 3D-printed aerospace, automotive, and medical devices manufactured using scandium-reinforced metal powders exhibit optimized product performance and cause low material wastage.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
The increasing adoption of solid oxide fuel cells contributes to the growing scandium market size. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), known for their high efficiency and low emissions, are gaining traction as a potential alternative to conventional power generation technologies in various sectors, including stationary power generation, transportation, and portable electronics. Scandium plays a pivotal role in SOFC technology, particularly in the form of scandium-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ). Used as an electrolyte in these cells, ScSZ improves ionic conductivity at elevated temperatures, enabling efficient ion transport across the cell and enhancing overall performance. This results in higher energy conversion efficiencies and enhanced durability, making SOFCs more attractive for widespread commercial and industrial applications.
The surging demand for clean energy owing to environmental concerns and regulatory pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is fueling the adoption of SOFCs worldwide. SOFCs, when operated with a hydrocarbon fuel source, generate CO2, but they carry out much cleaner processing of fuels than combustion-based systems, which highlights their suitability in low-emission devices. In 2000, the US Department of Energy initiated the SOFC Program to develop low-cost, highly efficient, environmentally friendly SOFC technology for smaller, modular-scale, large-scale power generation from natural gas or coal-derived synthesis. In addition, in September 2020, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the funding of approximately US$ 34 million for 12 small-scale solid oxide fuel cell systems and hybrid electrolyzer technology development projects under the funding opportunity announcement (FOA). Industries seeking to decarbonize their operations are increasingly opting for SOFCs as a reliable and sustainable power generation option.
