Ferrosilicon consumption is expected to continue rising due to the further growth of solar energy.
China dominates the world market for ferro-alloys, importing a staggering $9.8 billion worth of these alloys in 2022. The United States, Japan, Indonesia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, South Korea, Turkey, and India are also major importers of ferro-alloys, driven by their respective manufacturing sectors and domestic consumption.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a significant impact on the ferroalloy industry. The main producing regions of ferroalloys are located in Eastern Europe, which has been affected by the conflict.
Throughout January-September 2021, global ferroalloy trade totalled $11.8B, increasing by +36% compared to the same period last year. This spike was caused by growing prices, as imports in physical terms remained nearly unchanged against the previous year’s figures. China tops the ferroalloy importer ranking with 29% of the total value, followed by Japan and the U.S. The average ferroalloy import price in September 2021 was estimated at $2.5 per kg, a 56%-increase compared to those of September 2020.
The global trade in ferro-alloys amounted to X million USD in 2015, fluctuating wildly over the period under review. A plunge in 2009 was followed by recovery over the next two years, until exports decreased again. Exports continued falling for th
