The global chromium mining market size reached 44.0 Million Tons in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 61.9 Million Tons by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.75% during 2024-2032. The expansion in the metallurgy industry, extensive research and development (R&D) activities and increasing government investment represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Chromium is a lustrous, hard, bluish-gray metal found naturally in rocks, animals, plants, soil, volcanic dust, and gasses. It is chiefly obtained from the mineral chromite that is carried out by surface techniques and underground mining processes. Surface techniques are usually used first to mine chromite ore. The method includes an open pit, from which the non-chromite-bearing surface materials and chromite ores are generally extracted. On the other hand, blasthole stoping techniques are commonly utilized for carrying out underground mining. Chromium is widely used to harden steel, make alloys, manufacture stainless steel, dyes, and pigments, treat cool tower water, and preserve leather and wood. It also exhibits durability, strength, toughness, corrosion, and chemical resistance to iron-steel products.

Chromium Mining Market Trends:
The increasing demand for chromium in the metallurgy industry across the globe is one of the key factors driving the market growth. The chromium mining process is widely used due to the rising demand for chromium for the production of metals, such as steel and aluminum. In line with this, the widespread process utilization for producing stainless steel, which is widely utilized in the manufacturing of cutlery, surgical tools, car exhaust systems, seatbelts, and kitchen sinks, is favoring the market growth. Additionally, the utilization of chromium for producing piston rings, shock absorbers, engine valves, and brake pistons in the automotive industry is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the introduction of chromite smelting technology that requires low capital investment and offers flexibility is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the increasing chromium mining activities to obtain pigments of chromium that are widely used in paints as inhibitors for recirculating water systems, brines, and dips for brass, tin, steel, and iron, is positively influencing the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of chromium in the medical industry owing to the rising geriatric population prone to chronic diseases and serious health conditions is driving the market growth. Chromium is widely used for manufacturing medicines essential in regulating blood sugar levels, which is propelling the market growth. Other factors, including rising production of metals, extensive research and development (R&D) activities and increasing government investment in the metal and mining industry, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
