2023年全球鉻礦市場規模達到4,400萬噸。展望未來, IMARC Group預計到2032年市場規模將達到6,190萬噸,2024-2032年複合年成長率(CAGR)為3.75%。冶金業的擴張、廣泛的研發(R&D)活動以及政府投資的增加是推動市場的一些關鍵因素。
鉻是一種有光澤、堅硬、藍灰色的金屬,天然存在於岩石、動物、植物、土壤、火山塵和氣體中。它主要是透過地面技術和地下採礦過程從鉻鐵礦礦物中獲得的。通常首先使用地面技術來開採鉻鐵礦礦石。該方法包括露天礦坑,通常從中提取不含鉻鐵礦的表面材料和鉻鐵礦礦石。另一方面,爆破孔採礦技術通常用於地下採礦。鉻廣泛用於硬化鋼、製造合金、製造不銹鋼、染料和顏料、處理冷卻塔水以及保存皮革和木材。它還表現出鋼鐵產品的耐用性、強度、韌性、腐蝕性和耐化學性。
全球冶金產業對鉻的需求不斷成長是推動市場成長的關鍵因素之一。由於鋼和鋁等金屬生產對鉻的需求不斷成長,鉻礦開採過程得到了廣泛應用。與此一致的是,不銹鋼生產流程的廣泛應用,廣泛用於餐具、手術工具、汽車排氣系統、安全帶和廚房水槽的製造,有利於市場成長。此外,在汽車工業中利用鉻生產活塞環、避震器、引擎氣門和煞車活塞是另一個主要的成長誘導因素。除此之外,資本投資低、彈性強的鉻鐵礦冶煉技術的引進也為市場成長提供了動力。此外,為獲取鉻顏料而進行的鉻礦開採活動不斷增加,鉻顏料廣泛用於塗料中,作為循環水系統、鹽水以及黃銅、錫、鋼和鐵的浸漬劑的抑製劑,這對市場成長產生了正面影響。此外,由於易患慢性病和嚴重健康狀況的老年人口不斷增加,鉻在醫療行業的廣泛採用正在推動市場成長。鉻廣泛用於製造調節血糖水平所必需的藥物,這推動了市場的成長。其他因素,包括金屬產量的增加、廣泛的研發(R&D)活動以及政府對金屬和採礦業的投資增加,預計將推動市場成長。
The global chromium mining market size reached 44.0 Million Tons in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 61.9 Million Tons by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.75% during 2024-2032. The expansion in the metallurgy industry, extensive research and development (R&D) activities and increasing government investment represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Chromium is a lustrous, hard, bluish-gray metal found naturally in rocks, animals, plants, soil, volcanic dust, and gasses. It is chiefly obtained from the mineral chromite that is carried out by surface techniques and underground mining processes. Surface techniques are usually used first to mine chromite ore. The method includes an open pit, from which the non-chromite-bearing surface materials and chromite ores are generally extracted. On the other hand, blasthole stoping techniques are commonly utilized for carrying out underground mining. Chromium is widely used to harden steel, make alloys, manufacture stainless steel, dyes, and pigments, treat cool tower water, and preserve leather and wood. It also exhibits durability, strength, toughness, corrosion, and chemical resistance to iron-steel products.
The increasing demand for chromium in the metallurgy industry across the globe is one of the key factors driving the market growth. The chromium mining process is widely used due to the rising demand for chromium for the production of metals, such as steel and aluminum. In line with this, the widespread process utilization for producing stainless steel, which is widely utilized in the manufacturing of cutlery, surgical tools, car exhaust systems, seatbelts, and kitchen sinks, is favoring the market growth. Additionally, the utilization of chromium for producing piston rings, shock absorbers, engine valves, and brake pistons in the automotive industry is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the introduction of chromite smelting technology that requires low capital investment and offers flexibility is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the increasing chromium mining activities to obtain pigments of chromium that are widely used in paints as inhibitors for recirculating water systems, brines, and dips for brass, tin, steel, and iron, is positively influencing the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of chromium in the medical industry owing to the rising geriatric population prone to chronic diseases and serious health conditions is driving the market growth. Chromium is widely used for manufacturing medicines essential in regulating blood sugar levels, which is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including rising production of metals, extensive research and development (R&D) activities and increasing government investment in the metal and mining industry, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
