Ruthenium Tetroxide Market Segmentation:

The global ruthenium tetroxide market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into electronic resistors, metal alloys, chemical, pharmaceutical, solar cells, and others. Out of these, the chemical segment is estimated to cater to the largest revenue by 2035 by holding almost 49% of the global ruthenium tetroxide market. The major factor that is attributed to segment growth is the huge consumption of chemicals across the globe. Recent statistics show that in 2020, global chemical consumption accounted for more than USD 3 trillion. The various properties of ruthenium tetroxide make it beneficial for being used in the chemical industry for numerous activities. Further, the presence of chemical factories across the world along with the rapid growth in the chemical sector is also considered an indicator of segment growth in the next few years.

The global ruthenium tetroxide market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by function into chemical intermediate, staining agent, resisting agent, catalyst, and others. Out of these, the staining agent segment is projected to hold the second-largest share with a 29% share by the end of the assessment period. Ruthenium tetroxide is considered to be an effective staining agent. Moreover, the usage of ruthenium tetroxide in exposing latent fingerprints by turning to the brown/black ruthenium dioxide when in contact with fatty oils or fats contained in sebaceous contaminants of the print, is also estimated to create a positive outlook for segment expansion. Other reasons for segment growth is attributed to the rising number of chemical process in end-use industries and increased demand for ruthenium tetroxide for mining, pharmaceutical, solar cells, and others.
