Ferrovanadium Market

Factors influencing the global ferrovanadium market growth

The global economic scenario has improved, bringing the mining industry towards sustainable growth from its bottom low, particularly the surface mining sector. Despite this, capital investments in the industry by miners remain low. Dramatic fluctuations in commodity prices during the recent years have been the key reason for the reduction in investment sentiments in the mining sector.

Furthermore, exploration expenditure has been consistently declining over the past few years, primarily owing to sluggish economic conditions. Thus, limited investments in the mining sector are anticipated to hamper the volume of production of ferrovanadium.

On the other hand, the growing construction industry is expected to positively impact the growth of the ferrovanadium market. The construction sector is one of the biggest consumers of steel products as more than 50% of the steel manufactured globally is consumed by the construction industry.

Ferrovanadium plays an important role in granting tensile strength to steel, thereby providing cost-effective solutions. Ferrovanadium is the most commonly and widely used ferroalloys for enhancing the strength of reinforcing bars used in buildings, bridges and tunnels.

Global ferrovanadium market segmentation and forecast

The global ferrovanadium market is segmented on the basis of grade, production method, end use industry and region. On the basis of grade, the global ferrovanadium market has been segmented as FeV40, FeV50, FeV60, FeV80 and nitride ferrovanadium. On the basis of production method, the ferrovanadium market is segmented into aluminothermy reduction and silicon reduction.
