In December 2024, China's refined cobalt production was up 4% MoM and up 117% YoY. The main reasons for the production increase in December were that major refined cobalt smelters maintained high operating rates, and some refined cobalt smelters operated at full capacity in December to meet their annual production targets. As a result, the overall refined cobalt production in December remained on an upward trend. Refined cobalt production is expected to remain relatively stable in January 2025.
