Ferromanganese Market

Global Ferromanganese Market: Overview

Ferromanganese refers to a ferroalloy that comes with high manganese content. It is produced by heating a mixture of MnO2 and Fe2O3 oxides with carbon. This carbon is generally coal and coke in a blast furnace or electric arc furnace. In the furnace, the oxides are made to go through the process of carbothermal reduction, thereby producing ferromanganese. This chemical is utilized in the form of a deoxidizer for steel. Rising demand for steel across the globe is expected to support growth of the global ferromanganese market in the forecast timeframe. In addition, growing demand for the chemical in the making of aluminum alloy is also anticipated to drive growth of the global ferromanganese market in the near future.

Application and region are the two important parameters based on which the global ferromanganese market has been categorized.
