In 2023, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was the largest supplier of cobalt sourced from mining activities worldwide, accounting for more than 150 kilotons of material. In contrast, that year countries like the Philippines and Australia supplied less than nine kilotons each. Projections indicate that DRC will continue to dominate the supply of mined cobalt globally by 2030 and 2040.
