Global Thallium Sales Market Report 2022

Thallium (CAS 7440-28-0) is a chemical element with symbol Tl and atomic number 81. This soft gray post-transition metal is not found free in nature. When isolated, it resembles tin, but discolors when exposed to air. Chemists William Crookes and Claude-Auguste Lamy discovered thallium independently in 1861, in residues of sulfuric acid production. Both used the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy, in which thallium produces a notable green spectral line.
Thallium (CAS 7440-28-0) tends to oxidize to the +3 and +1 oxidation states as ionic salts. The +3 state resembles that of the other elements in group 13 (boron, aluminium, gallium, and indium). However, the +1 state, which is far more prominent in thallium than the elements above it, recalls the chemistry of alkali metals, and thallium(I) ions are found geologically mostly in potassium-based ores, and (when ingested) are handled in many ways like potassium ions (K+) by ion pumps in living cells.
Soluble thallium salts (many of which are nearly tasteless) are highly toxic in quantity, and were historically used in rat poisons and insecticides. Use of these compounds has been restricted or banned in many countries, because of their nonselective toxicity. Notably, thallium poisoning results in hair loss. Because of its historic popularity as a murder weapon, thallium has gained notoriety as "the poisoner's poison" and "inheritance powder" (alongside arsenic).
Market Analysis and Insights: Global Thallium Market
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global Thallium market size is estimated to be worth US$ 5 million in 2021 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 5 million by 2028 with a CAGR of 2.3% during the review period. Fully considering the economic change by this health crisis, by Type accounting for % of the Thallium global market in 2021, is projected to value US$ million by 2028, growing at a revised % CAGR in the post-COVID-19 period. While by Type segment is altered to an % CAGR throughout this forecast period.
Thallium (CAS 7440-28-0) industry has much fragmented, manufacturers are mostly in the Kazakhstan and China. Among them, China Production value accounted for less than 14% of the total value of global Thallium (CAS 7440-28-0). Kazzinc is the world leading manufacturer in global Thallium (CAS 7440-28-0) market with the market share of 20%.
