Abstract: This is an article in the field of mining engineering. This article analyzes the present situation of molybdenum resource exploitation and utilization in China, and predicts the future demand formolybdenum resource in China. Molybdenum is a strategic mineral resource in China, widely used in the field of the steel, and in the strategic emerging industries and high-tech fields of broad prospects for development. The present situation of molybdenum resource exploitation and utilization in China is analyzed from the aspects of molybdenum resource reserves, production, consumption, import and export trade, secondary recovery, etc., and the future demand of molybdenum resource in China is forecasted by department analysis method. The conclusion is that molybdenum resources are abundant in China, but the resource advantage is gradually weakening. The consumption structure of molybdenum resources needs to be optimized in China, the import and export trade is more concentrated, and the secondary recovery is relatively backward. The department forecast method predicts that China′s molybdenum resource demand in 2025, 2030 and 2035 will be 99 thousand t, 83 thousand t and 69 thousand t respectively. Therefore, molybdenum resource reserve system is proposed to ensure orderly development of resources. By increasing investment in scientific and technological research, the international market of molybdenum products will be expanded. A good job in the global molybdenum resource layout will be done to ensure the future of China′s countermeasures and suggestions, and provide reference for the sustainable development of molybdenum resource industry in China.
