The Asia Pacific is the leading market for stainless steel, with a robust growth prospect in the coming years. The market is being driven by the increase in the consumption of chemical/petrochemical products, medical products, energy, consumer goods, and heavy and automotive transport. Russia, France, and Brazil are low maturity markets, whereas China is a high maturity market. China accounts for nearly 50-55% of the global stainless steel market.
Stainless steel, called variously as inox steel or inox, is a steel alloy having chromium with tarnishing and rust resilient properties. Chromite is utilized in the manufacture of stainless steel, providing corrosive resistant properties to the steel, thus, making it ideal to be used in numerous industries. The rising demand for the product has been met by South Africa, which continues to supply the majority of chrome. China is predicted to continue playing the leading role in the stainless steel industry. The commercialization of China's integrated nickel pig iron is offering a cheaper alternative to pure nickel, resulting in the reduction of the cost of stainless steel, thus, influencing the global market towards Chinese products. Ferrochrome is the alloy of chromium and iron. It is used as a base material in the stainless steel manufacture. To increase the production of ferrochrome, China has increased its chrome ore imports to meet its rising domestic needs for stainless steel, which is aided by the growing construction industry in the region. Increment in ferrochrome production has also been achieved in the region by constructing new furnaces and switching furnaces.
Stainless steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. Chromium, which is found in iron, secretes a thin layer of oxide, known as a passive layer, which prevents the steel from corrosion
