Global Ferroalloys Market Analysis and Forecast, 2022-2028

Drivers influencing the ferroalloys market include Growth in the steel industry, increasing demand for high-strength and specialty steels, infrastructure and construction activities, and technological advancements in the steel and metallurgical industries. The steel industry is a major consumer of ferroalloys, particularly ferromanganese and ferrosilicon, which are used as alloying agents in steel production. The growth of the steel industry, driven by infrastructure development, urbanization, and industrialization in emerging economies, creates a significant demand for ferroalloys. Moreover, there is a growing demand for high-strength and specialty steels in sectors such as automotive, construction, and aerospace. Ferroalloys play a vital role in the production of these steels, as they impart specific properties, such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and improved mechanical strength, to the final product.

The ferroalloys industry is increasingly focusing on energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable practices. Efforts are being made to reduce carbon emissions, optimize energy consumption, and explore alternative sources of energy to minimize the environmental impact of ferroalloy production. Moreover, there is a growing demand for specialty and value-added ferroalloys that cater to specific industrial applications. These include ferroalloys with enhanced properties, such as low carbon ferrochrome for stainless steel production, high-silicon ferrosilicon for solar panel manufacturing, and low-phosphorus ferromanganese for steel desulfurization.

Macroeconomic Scenario and the Impact of COVID-19 on Regional Economic Sentiment

In the latest RationalStat analysis, geopolitical conflicts and inflation are the cited economic risks, while concerns about the volatility across energy sectors prevail in Europe and other parts of the world. Some of the potential risks to the economic growth in the leading regions, including Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and other developing regions, are inflation, volatile energy prices, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical instability, labor shortages, rising interest rates, and COVID-19 pandemic.

The global economy experienced heavy headwinds, throughout 2019-2021, as some countries witnessed subdued growth, while other countries continued to grapple with economic slowdowns.  The COVID-19 pandemic has levied undue pressure across the majority of industries globally and has caused a major economic crisis in the US, India, Italy, the UK, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and many others.  Besides, the exit of the UK from the European Union earlier in 2020 and the Russo-Ukraine war in 2022 exacerbated the ever-heightened global uncertainty.

In addition to this, the global economic growth slowed in 2022 to 3.3%, weaker than expected at the end of 2021, mainly weighed down by Russia’s war in Ukraine and the associated cost-of-living crisis in many countries. However, improvement in economic activities during the forecast period is expected. Growth is projected to remain at lower rates in 2023 and 2024, at 2.6% and 2.9% respectively.
