Demand for Metallurgical Grade Chromium Oxide in Stainless and Special Steel Production Driving Market Growth
Metallurgical grade chromium oxide is used in the manufacture of stainless steel and special steel . In this regard, the growing demand for steel in industries such as construction and automotive is driving the segment's growth. Meanwhile, it is also used in the production of high purity chromium metals which are applied in the aerospace industry.
Growing research and development activities in the aerospace sector and increasing spending of government on aerospace and defence-related projects are likely to accelerate the demand for metallurgical grade chromium oxide in the coming years. In the forecast period, there is an anticipated increase in demand for metallurgical grade chromium oxide in the form of an amorphous olive green mineral powder. This format is used as a colourant in enamels, sun-proof coatings, and printing of currency, and is likely to bolster the market growth.
The Asia Pacific Region Accounts for a Sizable Segment of the Market for Chromium Oxide
The chromium oxide market in the Asia Pacific region is being driven by the strong foothold of major manufacturers dealing with the supply of chromium oxide. The presence of large populations in expanding economies such as India and China, is generating a high consumption of automotive components which are propelling the demand for the compound.
Over the forecast period, the thriving construction industry, owing to the high economic growth in the region and favourable policies of the government is anticipated to propel the demand for chromium oxide. Furthermore, the market in the region is anticipated to be aided by the growing expansion of steel manufacturers.
Market Segmentation
