Segmentation Analysis

Due to the benefits and features that hexavalent chromium provides, trivalent chromium continued to hold a sizable market share in 2021. This was mostly caused by the rising demand for chrome plating brought on by hexavalent chromium. Trivalent chromium plating is a versatile coating that can be applied to a wide range of metals with ease. It exhibits high resistance to heat, chemicals, ultraviolet light, and uneven surfaces and geometries, and may be applied even at lower temperatures. This contrasts with hexavalent chromium, which is only effective on a restricted range of metals and can be challenging to apply. This factor lengthens the total product lifecycle of a commercial or industrial machine, as well as its performance, durability, and smoother operation. Furthermore, when compared to hexavalent chromium, trivalent chromium offers alternatives that are less toxic, higher quality, better coverage, simpler cleaning procedures, and less hazardous waste production. Due to these benefits, demand for it is increasing more quickly than that of chromium hexavalent, which is expected to drive market growth in the upcoming years.

Competitor Analysis

Competitive landscape – chromium market

The increased production of goods related to stainless steel is anticipated to drive considerable growth in the chromium market throughout the projected period. Chromium is mostly used as an addition to hardened steel and improves corrosion resistance when it comes to the formulation or fabrication of stainless-steel grade for commercial usage. The need for chromium is being driven by an increase in applications, such as decorative plating, from the automobile finishing and plating industry. Automotive components plated with chromium offer several benefits, including resistance to corrosion and wear as well as the capacity to enhance a vehicle's external look. Throughout the projection period, these beneficial attributes are anticipated to propel market expansion. 
However, during the projected period, the market's expansion may face obstacles from the rising environmental consciousness and the correspondingly strict laws governing the chromium plating process. However, the global COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 caused significant disruptions to the market. The regulatory organizations' imposition of limits caused a sharp decline in demand from the industry's primary application industries. The demand for chromium and related items suddenly increased in FY 2021 as a result of improvements in industrial production levels. The increase in energy costs resulted in further price increases in FY 2022.

Recent developments

•    The Indian government imposed export restrictions in June 2023 to prevent the export of chromium ores and concentrates, which are used in several sectors, including the manufacturing of stainless steel. India exported 10.96 million USD worth of chromium ores and concentrates in 2022–2023, most of which went to China. Exporters must now seek a license from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) to ship chromium, under the new laws.

•    A scientific breakthrough was made in June 2023 when ion enrichment chip–laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (IEC-LIBS) was introduced by researchers. With the use of an ion enrichment chip and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, it is now possible to quickly and accurately identify the various oxidation states of chromium that are present in soil and water. The effectiveness of this strategy, which offers simplicity, environmental friendliness, and potential for useful field applications, is highlighted in the study, which was published in the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry. The IEC-LIBS method effectively detects trace levels of chromium in water and soil samples, assisting in monitoring compliance with environmental quality regulations.

•    African Chrome Fields made an announcement in May 2023 regarding the impending opening of its cutting-edge aluminothermic smelting facility in Zimbabwe. The construction of this facility, which will cost about USD 40 million, is expected to be completed in the next two months. The factory converts chrome ore into ferrochrome without the use of outside electricity thanks to its exclusive cutting-edge technology. The plant will serve the interests of its South African and international customers, who depend on the company's premium ferrochrome products for their stainless-steel production needs, by supporting the company's mineral beneficiation operations.

Introduction chromium market

The metal known as chromium (Cr) is silver-gray in color, hard, brittle, and does not tarnish in the air. It is widely distributed throughout the earth's crust in the form of rocks, vegetation, animals, soil, volcanic gases, and dust. It is extracted commercially from chromite, an oxide of magnesium, iron, aluminum, and chromium. 

It is a vital dietary vitamin that the body needs to properly metabolize glucose and potentiate insulin. A shortage in it can lead to several major health issues. It helps to manufacture and harden stainless steel, increasing the product's efficacy. In addition, it helps an alloy become stronger and more resistant to corrosion, making it a good choice for electroplating. It is extensively used in the production of non-ferrous alloys, synthetic rubies, alloyed and stainless steel, and refractory additives. In addition, Cr is used globally in the mining, steel, chemical, petrochemical, energy and power, and automotive industries.

The stainless-steel industry is experiencing significant growth due to increasing demand for its products in various end-use markets, including automotive, aerospace, defense, marine, building and construction, and electronics.  Asia Pacific is also expected to drive the market, with China being the largest consumer. Chromium is an essential alloying element in stainless steel, making it a major driver of demand. The U.S., a major producer of chromium-based chemicals, is a major supplier of chromium ore, which is used extensively for refractory applications. 

However, the market's growth is challenged by its carcinogenic properties and price volatility. Chromium is toxic and found in trivalent (Cr III) and hexavalent (Cr VI) forms. Trivalent exposure is considered less toxic than hexavalent exposure, but prolonged exposure can cause severe respiratory system irritations, including shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and neurological and gastrointestinal effects.

•    In 2022, global chromium production reached 41 million metric tons, with South Africa contributing the most at 45%. The World Steel Association reported a 3.5% increase in January 2023, while the Organization Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles predicts 69 million new car sales and registrations in 2022. 

Source (https://worldsteel.org/media-centre/press-releases/2023/january-2023-crude-steel-production/)

•    The Chinese Association of Automotive Manufacturers reported a 3.4% year-over-year rise in car production, with 27 million automobiles expected in China.
