In May 2026, China's cobalt chloride production reached 13,107 tonnes, up 22.55% month-on-month but down 30.32% year-on-year. In May, some producers adjusted their production plans, leading to an overall increase in production.
In June 2026, China's cobalt chloride production is expected to reach 10,595 tonnes, down 19.17% month-on-month and 46.92% year-on-year. In June, raw material shortages are not expected to ease, coupled with persistently unfavorable downstream Co3O4 shipments. Therefore, no growth is anticipated in cobalt chloride production in June.
