2023-2027 Chrome Ore Market Research Report

2023/1/9 16:35:00

China's chrome ore resources are relatively poor, and according to the standard to meet demand, is a kind of scarce resource. The total ore reserves are 10.78 million tons, of which 53.6 percent are high grade ore. There are 56 chrome deposits in 13 provinces (autonomous regions), including Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Gansu. Tibet holds about half of the country's reserves. The chrome deposits in China are typical magmatic deposits related to ultrabasic rocks, most of which are ophiolite type and occur in ophiolite belt. Tibet Luobuza chrome ore and Xinjiang Sartuohai chrome ore and some others belong to this category. From the perspective of metallogenic age, the forming age of chrome ore in China is mainly Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

With the increasing consumption of chrome in China, chrome ore can no longer meet the needs of consumption. Improving the utilization rate of tailings and chrome-containing wastes can alleviate the shortage of chrome-containing resources in China to some extent. China is a major producer of stainless steel and a major consumer of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains 10.5% chromium on average. Stainless steel scrap is the preferred material for chromium metal recycling. Using stainless steel waste for chromium recovery has a great economic benefits, at the same time, the recovery of chromium metal also have special environmental benefits, which is in line with the national sustainable development policy, helping with gaining strong support from national governments and the relevant preferential policies (such as loans, tax, etc.), therefore, Chinese enterprises should seize the opportunity to develop chrome metal recycling business.

On the basis of a lot of careful market research, and according to a large amount of data and materials provided by the national bureau of statistics, the ministry of commerce, national development and reform commission, the state council development research center, China's general administration of customs, chrome ore industry association, domestic and foreign related publications as well as chrome ore professional research unit, this research report analyzes the domestic chrome mine industry’s development trend and market.
