2023年全球铬矿市场规模达到4,400万吨。展望未来, IMARC Group预计到2032年市场规模将达到6,190万吨,2024-2032年复合年增长率(CAGR)为3.75%。冶金业的扩张、广泛的研发(R&D)活动以及政府投资的增加是推动市场的一些关键因素。
铬是一种有光泽、坚硬、蓝灰色的金属,天然存在于岩石、动物、植物、土壤、火山尘和气体中。它主要是透过地面技术和地下采矿过程从铬铁矿矿物中获得的。通常首先使用地面技术来开采铬铁矿矿石。该方法包括露天矿坑,通常从中提取不含铬铁矿的表面材料和铬铁矿矿石。另一方面,爆破孔采矿技术通常用于地下采矿。铬广泛用于硬化钢、製造合金、製造不銹钢、染料和颜料、处理冷却塔水以及保存皮革和木材。它还表现出钢铁产品的耐用性、强度、韧性、腐蚀性和耐化学性。
全球冶金产业对铬的需求不断成长是推动市场成长的关键因素之一。由于钢和铝等金属生产对铬的需求不断增长,铬矿开采过程得到了广泛应用。与此一致的是,不銹钢生产流程的广泛应用,广泛用于餐具、手术工具、汽车排气系统、安全带和厨房水槽的製造,有利于市场成长。此外,在汽车工业中利用铬生产活塞环、避震器、引擎气门和煞车活塞是另一个主要的成长诱导因素。除此之外,资本投资低、弹性强的铬铁矿冶炼技术的引进也为市场成长提供了动力。此外,为获取铬颜料而进行的铬矿开采活动不断增加,铬颜料广泛用于涂料中,作为循环水系统、盐水以及黄铜、锡、钢和铁的浸渍剂的抑製剂,这对市场增长产生了正面影响。此外,由于易患慢性病和严重健康状况的老年人口不断增加,铬在医疗行业的广泛采用正在推动市场成长。铬广泛用于製造调节血糖水平所必需的药物,这推动了市场的成长。其他因素,包括金属产量的增加、广泛的研发(R&D)活动以及政府对金属和采矿业的投资增加,预计将推动市场成长。
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.
