Chromite Market to Record an Exponential CAGR by 2025


Chromite is an oxide mineral that belongs to the spinel group. It is one of the important minerals used in the production of metallic chromium. Chromite is also employed as an alloying ingredient in stainless and tool steels. Chromite is an iron chromium oxide commonly associated with olivine, magnetite, serpentine, and corundum. As a major source of metal chromium, the extracted chromium from chromite is used in chrome plating and alloying for production of corrosion resistant superalloys, nichrome, and stainless steel. Chromite is the general name given to chromiumbearing spinels. Chromite is considered the commercial ore mineral of chromium, which is primarily found in ultramafic rocks such as peridotite, dunite, pyroxenite. It is also majorly found in altered derivatives such as serpentinite.

Chromite deposit can be divided into two main types: stratiform or layered deposits and podiform or alpine type chromite deposit. Stratiform deposits are formed by fractional crystallization of chromite. During this process, chromite spinel is one of the first minerals to crystallize. It sinks and settles within the magma chamber. Under the podiform or alpine type chromite deposit, chromite deposits occur in the form of pods, lenses, and various other types of irregular shapes. Chromite is formed in the upper layer of peridotite, which crystallizes in oceanic lithosphere. This form of chromite can occur in tabular or layer form.

Based on type, the global chromite market can be segmented into high chromium chromite, high iron chromite, and high aluminum chromite. High chromium chromite is one of the important raw materials in the production of stainless steel and similar specialty steel products. High iron chromite is available in granular and powder forms. This type of chromite is not easily soluble in water. High iron chromite is primarily used in the production of chromium base chemicals, low chromium ferrochromium, and refractories. High aluminum chromite is used in manufacturing refractories, magnesite chromite, and chromite magnesite bricks.

Based on application, the global chromite market can be segregated into stainless steel, chemicals, pigments, refractories, and foundry sand. In stainless steel application ferrochrome market drives chromite supply. Production of ferrochrome is considered the primary component in the production of stainless steel. It accounts for approximately 75% share of the global chromite usage. The other 25% share is used in the manufacture of chemicals, pigments (color and corrosion inhibition) and refractories. Chromite ore cannot be substituted in the production of ferrochromium, chromium chemicals, or chromite refractories. In terms of demand, the chromite market has been expanding due to the rise in demand for chromite in ferrochrome, chemical, refractory, and pigment industries.

Based on geography, the global chromite market can be segregated into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Middle East & Africa and Asia Pacific are the key regions of the chromite market, led by the growth in the stainless steel industry. Four countries (South Africa, India, Kazakhstan, and Turkey) account for about 80% of the global chromite production. South Africa holds more than 46% share of global production. It is a major supplier of chromite ore and ferrochromium to countries in Europe. Other countries with significant production of chromite include Brazil, Iran, and Madagascar.

High-performance Anti-corrosion Coatings Market to Record an Exponential CAGR by 2024

Wood Adhesives and Binders Market to Perceive Substantial Growth During 2020 The competitive landscape of global wood adhesive and binders market is fragmented, as only tope four players are responsible for 36% of the total market, as analyzed by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As the market requires huge amount of capital and significant high setup cost some of the key players play a noticeable role. Henkel AG, Dow Chemical Company, 3M Company and Co., KGaA, HB Fuller, and 3M Company are some of the key players analyzed in the report. The global wood adhesive and binders market is consolidated due to the high cost involved to customize products by using innovative technologies. The competition is also fierce due to limited number of players competing against each other. Although new player with strong financial support will pave their way in bio based adhesive formulations. Read Report Overview @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/wood-adhesives-binders-market.html As per the analysis done by the TMR authors, the global wood adhesive and binders market is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 17.7 bn by the end of the forecast period in 2020. The CAGR is projected to expand at 4.4% between 2014 to 2020. The furniture and subcomponents segment under the application category is estimated to lead the market by attaining 5% CAGR during the forecast period. As per geography, North America leads the global market. The region is witness larger consumption of wood adhesive and binders market in the recent past. Increasing Demand in Construction Industry Could Boost the Market Wood adhesive and binders have a significant role in making cabinets, windows, doors, flooring, plywood, and various other structural panels. The use of wood adhesive and binders is widely seen in furniture and construction areas. As the construction market is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 4.7% during 2016 to 2020, which will significantly boost the demand for wood adhesive and binders during the same period. Rising population in emerging nations, require residential facilities thus propelling the construction and infrastructure market, which will further boost the demand for wood adhesive and binders market. Asia Pacific being the major region where building and construction industry have significantly growing 2015 to 2020. Environmental Concerns May Restrain the Wood Adhesive and Binders Market to Grow at its Full Potential Petroleum based feedstock like vinyl, styrene butadiene, urea, acetate, phenols, acrylates, and polyurethanes helps in manufacturing wood adhesive and binders. As these petroleum feedstock’s are highly dependent on crude oil, even a minute fluctuation in the crude oil prices affects the raw material required to manufacture wood adhesive and binders. Request to view Sample Report: https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=B&rep_id=3045 Additionally, with the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) while manufacturing wood adhesive and binders highly affects the environment and create various health risks. The increasing environmental concerns may restrict the market from attaining its full potential. Thus to mitigate these harmful effects number of governments are bring regulation to restrict the amount of gasses releases while manufacturing adhesives and binders which will help the market to grow in coming years.
