In 2021, stainless steel was the most major global use for nickel, accounting for over two thirds of the worldwide demand. By the year 2040, stainless steel production is still forecast to dominate the global demand for nickel, but at a much lower proportion. Meanwhile, batteries are projected to represent a 41 percent share of nickel demand by 2040, up from just seven percent in 2021.
