increase in demand from developing countries is driving the Chromite Market

Latest News:- Chromite Market: Metallurgical is expected to lead the Type segment during 2024-2028

Technavio analyzes that the Chromite Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 2974.3 million.There are various factors that contribute to the growth of the market. The chromite market is experiencing significant growth due to increasing demand from developing countries. These nations are expanding their infrastructure and industrial sectors, leading to a higher consumption of chromite for stainless steel production and other applications. This trend is expected to continue, boosting the market's growth trajectory. Chromite's essential role in various industries, including metallurgy and refractories, further strengthens its market position.

In the global chromite market, metallurgical-grade chromite holds the largest market share due to its significance as the primary raw material for ferrochrome production. Ferrochrome, in turn, is essential for manufacturing stainless steel and other alloy steels, driving the demand for metallurgical-type chromite. According to industry reports, high-carbon ferrochrome and charge chrome accounted for over 93% of the global ferrochrome industry in 2023. Approximately 75% of this ferrochrome was utilized in stainless steel production that year. The chromite market's growth is closely linked to global steel production, as chromite is a critical component in steelmaking processes. Neither blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) nor electric arc furnace (EAF) steel production routes can substitute chromite, making it an indispensable element in the steel industry.
