About Chromium
Chromium is widely used in the production of ferrochrome, which is used in the production of stainless steel. It is obtained from chromite ores, which are of four types: metallurgical, refractory, foundry, and sand. Some other applications for chromite ore include chemicals, specialty steel, and metal chrome. South Africa is the largest chromium mining nation.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global chromium mining market to grow at a CAGR of 5.23% during the period 2016-2020.
