In 2023, the consumption of low-carbon ferrochromium in the US was recorded at 18.72 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, a gradual decline is forecasted, with year-on-year decreases noted: -0.48% in 2025, -0.38% in 2026, -0.43% in 2027, and -0.44% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years shows a slight downward trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in chromium processing for improved efficiency.
- The impact of stricter environmental regulations on production methods.
- Potential shifts in US industrial demand for low-carbon variants in response to carbon neutrality initiatives.
- Global chromium market dynamics affecting US supply and consumption patterns.
