Mercury Market Overview:

 Mercury is one of the type of metal, the actual name of mercury is hydragyrum represented by symbol Hg and atomic mass no 80. It is also commonly known as quicksilver.  The special property of mercury is that it is remain liquid in room temperature, theses property makes mercury different from other metals. The color of mercury is silver and it is bad conductor of heat. Mercury is commonly take out from minerals and most common mineral type used is cinnbar.it is red color rock containing mercury sulfide (HgS). Mercury used in various sectors in healthcare industry the use of mercury is very vast. The mercury used in various medical equipment such as barometers, Thermometers and electric equipment.

Mercury Market Dynamics:

Mercury’s density and compactness enable it to be used for medicinal purposes. The characteristic properties of mercury allow the extraction of gold from ore in artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Various distinct challenges are associated with mercury. Health hazards and environmental effects are reducing the use of mercury. These circumstances hampered the market growth of mercury. Prolong exposure to mercury can lead to several health hazards including kidney damage, nerve damage and skin irritation, and others. The surplus release of mercury in the environment can pose serious environmental threats.

Mercury is mostly used in the mining sector for the extraction of gold. Though it is not a supreme means for extraction still it is a conservative means for the extraction promoting the use of mercury in electrical switches. Mercury finds its major uses in dentistry, sphygmomanometers, and thermometers. Hospitals are issuing guidelines to reduce the use of mercury as several health hazards can be caused once mercury is released into the environment. The electrical and lighting segment witnessed an increase in demand for mercury on the account of the use of mercury in switches as it has a very low melting point a very high boiling point.

Mercury is extensively used in sphygmomanometer for the measurement of blood pressure, also environmental concern the mercury is ban in European countries, and supply of mercury in USA is restricted only for healthcare use. Emerging economics signed the minamata convention that products containing mercury should be banned for import and export by 2032.

Mercury Market Segment Analysis:

Based on Product type, the market is sub-segmented into chemical manufacturing, Artisanal gold mining, Batteries measurement, Control devices, Electrical and Lighting, Healthcare and Pharmaceutical. Healthcare and Pharmaceutical segment dominated in the market. Health related issues and growth of pharmaceutical sector are two major factor driving the demand of mercury market. The demand of mercury also increase in electrical industry, mercury used in electrical equipment such as switches, LCD screen and Monitors.
