Chrome Price Trend, Market Analysis, and News
IMARC’s newly published report, titled “Chrome Pricing Report 2024: Price Trend, Chart, Market Analysis, News, Demand, Historical and Forecast Data,” offers an in-depth analysis of chrome pricing, covering an analysis of global and regional market trends and the critical factors driving these price movements.
It encompasses an in-depth review of spot price of chrome at major ports, a breakdown of prices including Ex Works, FOB, and CIF, alongside a region-wise dissection of chrome price trend across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
The report examines the elements influencing chrome price fluctuations, such as supply-demand dynamics, geopolitical factors, and industry-specific developments. Additionally, it integrates the latest market news, providing stakeholders with up-to-date information on market shifts, regulatory changes, and technological advancements, thereby offering a comprehensive overview that aids in strategic decision-making and forecasting.
Chrome Market Analysis
The expanding stainless-steel industry represents one of the key factors driving the market growth of chrome. For instance, in December 2021, according to International Stainless-Steel Forum (ISSF), a Belgium-based non-profit research organization for the stainless industry, stainless steel melt shop production climbed by 16.9% year on year to 43.0 million metric tons in the first nine months of 2021.
Moreover, the increasing automotive production is a major growth-inducing factor. Automotive production extensively uses chrome as a key alloying element in stainless steel, enhancing the corrosion resistance and durability of components, thereby ensuring the longevity and performance of critical automotive parts in diverse environmental conditions. For instance, according to reports released by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), in 2023, global car production hit 76 million units, a substantial 10.2% increase. The EU solidified its position as the second-largest global car producer as production reached 12.1 million units, a growth of over 11%.
Additionally, strategic partnerships are becoming increasingly popular in the chrome market. Leading companies in the industry are prioritizing the formation of strategic alliances to bolster their market position. For instance, Tata Steel Mining Limited (TSML) and Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) signed a MoU on July 16, 2021 to jointly unearth the Chrome Ore locked up in the boundary between their mines located in Sukinda of Jajpur district, Odisha. This would help conservation of chromite ore which otherwise would have been left unmined forever. This distinctive partnership serves as a model for innovative sustainable chrome ore mining. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement for the State of Odisha, TSML, and JSL. The companies will now take steps to secure the necessary statutory approvals from the relevant authorities before commencing joint mining operations.
In addition to this, major companies in the chrome market are focusing on technological innovation, such as a cloud-based online portal, to offer convenience for their customers. For instance, Outokumpu, a prominent producer of stainless steel, which uses chromium as a key component, has introduced a digital platform to enhance customer service. This cloud-based portal provides comprehensive data on product availability, order status, and technical specifications, facilitating a seamless procurement process for their clients.
Chrome News
The report covers the latest developments, updates, and trends impacting the global chrome market, providing stakeholders with timely and relevant information. This segment covers a wide array of news items, including the inauguration of new production facilities, technological innovations, strategic market expansions by key industry players, and significant mergers and acquisitions that impact the chrome price trend.
Latest developments in the chrome industry:
- In May 2023, African Chrome Fields announced the upcoming opening of its innovative aluminothermic smelting factory in Zimbabwe. This facility is built with an investment of around USD 40 million and is set to commence operations within the next two months. The plant utilizes proprietary state-of-the-art technology that eliminates the need for external power in the reduction process of chrome ore to ferrochrome. By supporting the company's mineral beneficiation activities, the plant will serve the interests of both its South African and international customers who rely on its top-quality ferrochrome products for their stainless-steel production needs.
- In May 2023, Chile's state-owned Codelco, the world's largest copper producer, shut down its Ventanas metal smelter on the central coast. This closure follows environmental incidents in the region that negatively impacted its operations.
Product Description
Chromium, also referred to as chrome, is a steely, bright colored metal that is highly reflective and mostly used for its corrosion resisting abilities. Chrome is well known as a material that is hard wearing, has a high melting point and is used in electroplating processes to alter the hardness of metals and increase their glare. The capacity to withstand corrosion or oxidation makes it suitable for use as a protectant and cosmetic finish to auto parts, household utensils and equipment, hardware. For instance, chromium is an essential ingredient in stainless steel due to its properties that enhance the strength and polymorphism of the steel alloying element. Apart from its various roles in manufacturing processes, chrome is used in the creation of pigments and dyes since it has bright, long-lasting colors. These features confer chrome as a vital element when it comes to construction of products for commercial use as well as consumer use, as it is competent enough to withstand the test of time.
