The Quarterly Global Chrome and Stainless Review

The only independent analysis of official ICDA statistics covering world production and international trade figures

This new quarterly report published by MBR gives you supply and demand forecasts for the next two years.

Using official and exclusively published statistics from the International Chromium Development Association (ICDA), MBR adds real value to this data by identifying the key turning points in the market – targeting the pricing peak, and the inevitable downturn in prices.

The global analysis will highlight China's key role in the market, with its rapidly growing appetite for ferro-chrome changing the dynamics of the global market. South Africa's role as the world's dominant ferro-chrome supplier, the challenges South African producers face, and the proposed addition of massive new chrome capacity within the country are addressed in detail.
