According to a new market report published by Future Market Insights, the global Ferrovanadium market is estimated to a reach value of US$ 3,547.6 Mn by 2022 end and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2022 to 2028 and reach a market value of US$ 5,776.5 Mn by 2028.
Ferrovanadium is an alloy used to strengthen steel. It is a combination of iron and vanadium in which vanadium content varies from 35%-80%. It is used as an additive to enhance the quality of ferroalloys. When added to steel, the products are light in weight with extremely high tensile strength. The market for ferrovanadium is primarily driven by increasing demand for high strength steel and high strength low alloy steel from the construction and automotive and transportation industries. The growth of these industries will be the key contributor responsible for the growth of the market of ferrovanadium during the forecast period. As these industries are most prominent industries consuming majority of the steel consumption across the globe.
Ferro-Alloy Resources Ltd (LON:FAR) is developing the giant Balasausqandiq vanadium deposit in Kyzylordinskaya oblast of southern Kazakhstan. The ore at this deposit is unlike that of nearly all other primary vanadium deposits and is capable of being treated by a much lower cost process.
