The worldwide mine production of molybdenum was estimated at 260,000 metric tons of contained molybdenum in 2023. Up from some 253,000 metric tons in the previous year, this was the highest figure reported since 2020. Over the last decade, the world's production of molybdenum reached a record high of more than 300,000 metric tons in 2014. Molybdenum is most commonly used in metallurgical processes.
