MARKET GROWTH FACTORS:
Technological Upgradation:
Advancements in extraction and processing technology have not only improved production efficiency, but also reduced the cost of producing chromium. Advancement in metallurgical processes will enable better quality control and optimum yield, catering for the increased demand from different end users. These technological improvements will give chromium a prime role in being a developmental material for high-performance alloys and specialty steels.
Government Regulations:
Regulatory changes are carrying the world over where several provisions advocate construction and infrastructure development with high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel. Such provisions create a demand- pull factor for chromium, which forms a major part in the manufacture of stainless steel. Progressive environmental policies also ushered in the increased use of chromium in making green materials due to their adoption of sustainable manufacturing practices.
Market demand:
The increasing attention of the automotive industry in making lightweight and stronger materials is one of the major boosting sources of demand for chromium-containing alloys. Chromium has a role in enhancing various properties of steel and, therefore, is used for applications in automotives, such as engine components and structural parts. In a similar sense, the flourishing construction sector in emerging economies also increases the demand for stainless steel in building structures, which in turn pulls up the consumption of chromium.
