Nickel hydroxide is an inorganic compound, known by the formula Ni(OH)2 or Nickel(II) hydroxide. It is an odorless, apple green, crystalline solid usually available in powder form. Nickel hydroxide occurs naturally as the mineral theophrastite. It is electroactive and is converted to Ni (III) oxy-hydroxide in response to electrical stimuli. It is insoluble in water and dissolves readily in acids and ammonium hydroxide. It is non-explosive and non-oxidizing under normal conditions. It has a melting point of 2300C and decomposes before melting at 2000C. Its autoignition temperature or flash point is 4000C. It is denser than water having a density of 4g/cm3.

Nickel hydroxide has two distinct polymorphs, namely α- Ni (OH) 2 and β-Ni (OH) 2. The α structure is composed of nickel hydroxide layers integrated with intercalated anions or water, whereas β structure is made up of a hexagonal structure of Ni2+ and OH− ions, without any kind of intercalated ions. Apart from, the α and β forms of nickel hydroxide, γ- Ni(OH)2 is made up of crystal structures having much bigger inter-sheet distances.

Segmentation Analysis

The global Nickel Hydroxide Market is segmented on the basis of application and end-use industry.

On the basis of the applications, the global nickel hydroxide market is segmented into batteries, catalyst and others (ceramics, glass, optics, few more electrochemical applications)

On the basis of the end-user industry, the global nickel hydroxide market is segmented into automotive industry, electronics industry, chemical industry and others.

On the basis of the region, the global nickel hydroxide market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa.

Nickel hydroxide is produced electrochemically by anodic oxidation of metallic nickel in aqueous electrolyte solutions containing sulfate and chloride, followed by treatment with alkali metal hydroxides to convert the intermediate product to pure nickel hydroxide. Sodium or potassium hydroxides are used as alkali metal hydroxides in the concentration of 10-2 to 0.5 molar. This electrochemical process reduces the neutral salts occurrence by 90% as compared to conventional nickel hydroxide production process by precipitation from nickel salts.

Regional Analysis

The nickel hydroxide market is segmented across five regions: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Among these, Asia Pacific holds a major share of the market due to the growing consumption of the nickel hydroxide in the battery manufacturing. The increasing demand for nickel hydroxide batteries in portable devices, hybrid electric vehicles, and several consumer products have propelled the region to witness a higher growth over the assessment period.

Countries such as Japan and South Korea with strong electronics industry base drives the demand for nickel hydroxide market. Following them, China and India are expected to increase the demand for nickel batteries due to its application in hybrid electric vehicles. China is having the largest car market in the world and is developing strategies to ban carbon emission fuel vehicles to combat pollution and switch towards electric vehicle. Apart from this, India and China’s electronics industry is also growing at a faster pace to supplement their growing economy.

Furthermore, the renowned electronics manufacturers are shifting their production plants to this region owing to the easy investment norms, open market strategy, expedite the procedure, and other incentivizing measures adopted by these countries. Furthermore, growing urbanization, increasing purchasing power, and disposable income of the people in this region are favoring growth of the regional market.
