The global ferroalloys market size is poised to expand at a substantial CAGR over the study period. Ferroalloys consist of iron and alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, and silicon, which contribute to their valuable traits, such as corrosion resistance and high tensile strength.
The surging demand for stainless steel across automotive, construction, and architectural sectors acts as a primary catalyst for the ferroalloys market. Ferroalloys play a pivotal role in stainless steel manufacturing, making them indispensable in meeting the growing needs of these industries.
Fortune Business Insights™ provides this information in its research report, titled “Ferroalloys Market, 2024-2032”.
Segmentation:
On the basis of type, the market is divided into ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochromium, and others.
The principal ferroalloys consist of chromium, manganese, and silicon. Manganese reduces the harmful effects of sulfur during steel and cast iron production whereas chromium enables corrosion resistance. Ferrochromium contains 12% or more chromium and is widely used in producing stainless steel. Therefore, using these alloys in stainless steel production is touted to drive the growth of the market.
Based on geography, the market is segregated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.
