According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Low Carbon Ferrochrome market size was valued at US$ 2577 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
In 2024, global low carbon ferrochrome production reached approximately 874 K tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 2,860/ton.
Low carbon ferrochrome (LC FeCr) is a ferrochromium grade engineered to deliver chromium to liquid steels or superalloys with minimal carbon pick-up. In established specifications, “low-carbon” ferrochromium covers carbon bands up to 0.50 wt% C, while ferrochromium as a family spans about 45–95 wt% Cr. Low carbon ferrochrome is selected when tight carbon limits or cleanliness requirements govern secondary steelmaking and alloying.
The vast majority of chrome ore (Cr ore) produced worldwide is metallurgical grade ore. This ore in the main is used to produce ferrochrome (FeCr) which itself is a key ingredient in the production of stainless steel.
End-use demand is anchored by Stainless Steel, where LC FeCr enables simultaneous Cr build and carbon control across the 300/200 and 400 families, reducing sensitization risk and unlocking better formability and corrosion performance. Special Steels—including heat-resistant, wear-resistant and bearing grades—use LC FeCr to meet strict carbon limits while attaining oxidation and creep resistance. Superalloys deploy LC FeCr as a chromium source under exacting impurity thresholds, typically in vacuum melting routes. Other uses (smaller but specification-driven) include welding consumables, hardfacing and certain foundry applications, where LC FeCr powders are blended into electrodes or overlays to tailor wear and corrosion behavior.
Global production of low carbon ferrochrome is nearly one million tons, with gross profit margins of approximately 10%-25%.
Low carbon ferrochrome is commercially supplied in two types aligned to carbon ceilings: 0.10%–0.50% C— the workhorse range for mainstream stainless and special steels— and ≤0.10% C for the tightest carbon budgets, including weldable austenitic/ferritic stainless, bearing/valve/tool steels, and select superalloys. The ≤0.10% C segment relies on intensified metallothermic routes (simplex/duplex silicothermic and aluminothermic) or duplex AOD→VOD practice to achieve ultra-low carbon without excessive chromium oxidation; these routes command a quality premium but deliver cleaner chemistry and more stable melt performance.
Production is concentrated in Europe, China, Kazakhstan and India. Europe retains entrenched competence in ultra-low-carbon specialty grades. Kazakhstan’s integrated ERG/Kazchrome chain feeds refined LC/MC FeCr to stainless and special-steel customers, often via FeSiCr intermediates. China offers scale and full-range supply (including micro-/ultra-low-carbon varieties) supported by extensive furnace/refining capacity. India continues to expand LC/ULC supply—both through metallothermic technologies and AOD/VOD-linked upgrades—with new and incumbent producers bringing ULC/LC FeCr to market.
