The forecast for chromium ferroalloys consumption in the US shows a steady increase in chromium content from 286.05 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 295.25 thousand metric tons by 2028. As reported, actual consumption stood at 283 thousand metric tons in 2023. The year-on-year growth rate is approximately 0.8% consistently. Looking at the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over a five-year horizon, it reflects a modest growth rate of around 0.9%, indicating stable demand with slight upward trends.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in US industrial production, which could influence chromium demand.
Environmental regulations that may impact production methods and demand for more sustainable ferroalloys.
Technological advancements in alloy applications, potentially affecting chromium usage.
Market responses to global geopolitical events which could disrupt supply chains.
