China is expected to remain on the vanguard in the consumption of both steel as well as chromium carbide, in the steel sector. The rapid development of the infrastructure and major industrial activities in the mining, energy, steel, and cement sectors in the country is anticipated to fuel demand for specific industrial equipment requiring chromium carbide as the raw material, and thereby drive chromium carbide market growth. The production of chromium carbide overlay plates used in steel industry applications such as those in coke vibrating screen plates, fan blade, apart from cutting tool, blast furnace liners, machining tool and welding electrodes are the key end uses of chromium carbide in the steel industry. There has been speedy growth in mining, construction, and the energy sectors such as power and oil and gas owing to the growing demand for fuel sources, metals, and housing and infrastructure requirements across geographies, especially in China and developing countries in t...
