The global chromium market size reached US$ 15.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 19.3 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6% during 2023-2032. The growing utilization as micronutrients and nutritional supplements, increasing demand for refractory additives, and rising application in manufacturing car exhaust systems represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Chromium (Cr) refers to a lustrous, brittle, and hard metal that is silver-gray in color and does not tarnish in the air. It is abundantly available in the crust of the earth like rocks, plants, animals, soil, and volcanic gases and dust. It is commercially extracted from chromite, which is an oxide of iron, aluminum, magnesium, and chromium. It is an essential dietary nutrient that is required to potentiate insulin and for normal glucose metabolism, and its deficiency in the body causes various serious health-related disorders. It aids in hardening and manufacturing stainless steel, which enhances the effectiveness of the product. Besides this, it assists in increasing the strength and corrosion resistance of an alloy and considered suitable for electroplating. It is widely utilized in producing refractory additives, alloyed and stainless steel, non-ferrous alloy, and synthetic rubies. Apart from this, Cr is employed in the chemical, petrochemical, energy and power, mining, steel, and automotive industries across the globe.

Chromium Market Trends:

At present, the rising demand for Cr in metallurgical processes to improve hardenability and avoid corrosion resistance and oxidation to other metals represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing utilization of Cr in manufacturing car exhaust systems and auto parts, such as seatbelt springs, chassis, fuel tanks, suspensions, and hose clamps, is offering a positive market outlook. Additionally, there is a rise in the utilization of chromium polynicotinate, chromium chloride, and chromium picolinate (CrP) as micronutrients and nutritional supplements for humans and animals worldwide. This, coupled with the increasing demand for CrP to control blood sugar in diabetes and decrease cholesterol and blood pressure levels, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising demand for Cr due to the increasing utilization of stainless steel across the globe is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. In addition to this, the wide availability of Cr at an affordable price is contributing to the growth of the market. Moreover, the increasing demand for Cr in decorative plating from the metal plating and finishing industry is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, the rising demand for Cr in leather tanning, wood treatment, and paint pigments around the world is strengthening the market growth.
