Malaysia Ferrochrome Market Synopsis

The ferrochrome market in Malaysia is highly competitive and has seen a steady growth since 2018. The country?s total production of ferrochrome increased from 12,830 tons in 2018 to 14,015 tons in 2025 with an increase of 10%. This rise was mainly due to higher demand from the automotive industry as well as higher steel production. The primary producers are located in Terengganu and Sarawak. As of 2025, Malaysia is one of the leading exporters of high-grade ferrochrome with exports amounting to 8363 tons valued at USD 41 million. In terms of imports, China remains the main importer accounting for over 88% or 7306 tons worth USD 32 million.

Market Drivers of the market

The ferrochrome market in Malaysia is expected to witness steady growth due to the increasing demand from the stainless steel and automotive industries. Ferrochrome, a crucial alloying element, enhances the corrosion and heat resistance properties of stainless steel. The expanding infrastructure development and construction sectors will also drive the demand for stainless steel and, consequently, ferrochrome. Moreover, the growing trend of using ferrochrome in aerospace and defense applications will further contribute to market growth. However, market growth may be affected by the volatility of raw material prices and competition from alternative alloying elements.

Challenges of the market

The ferrochrome market in Malaysia faces certain challenges that may impact its growth and competitiveness. One of the significant challenges is the volatility in global ferrochrome prices, which can affect the profitability of local producers and the cost-effectiveness of using ferrochrome in various applications. Additionally, the competition from other countries with larger ferrochrome production capacities can pose challenges for domestic producers. Moreover, environmental concerns related to ferrochrome production and the need for sustainable practices can impact the industry`s operations. To address these challenges, the industry needs to develop efficient sourcing and pricing strategies, invest in technology and infrastructure for cleaner production processes, and explore niche applications for ferrochrome alloys.

Covid-19 Impact on the market

The ferrochrome market could have been impacted by disruptions in the manufacturing and industrial sectors during the pandemic. Reduced demand from stainless steel producers and supply chain disruptions may have affected the market.
