Global Chromium Trioxide (Chromic Anhydride) Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Chromium Trioxide (Chromic Anhydride) market size was valued at US$ 1158 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1512 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.9% during review period.
Chromium trioxide, also known as chromic anhydride, is a chemical compound with the formula CrO₃. It is one of the most commercially important and widely used forms of chromium and is distinguished by its bright red-orange appearance. It is highly soluble in water, forming chromic acid (H₂CrO₄) when dissolved.
Chromium trioxide is primarily used in the production of chromium-based chemicals and as a corrosion inhibitor. It is also employed in metal plating, especially in electroplating and passivation processes for stainless steel. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, chromium trioxide is often used in laboratories for various chemical syntheses and analytical applications.
Chromium trioxide is recognized as a toxic and carcinogenic substance. Prolonged exposure can lead to serious health issues including respiratory problems, skin irritations, and increased cancer risk. Due to its hazardous nature, its use is highly regulated in many countries, particularly under regulations concerning hazardous materials and waste disposal.
The global production capacity of chromic anhydride is mainly concentrated in countries and regions such as China, the United States and Europe. As a major manufacturing country in the world, China's chromic anhydride production capacity and output occupy an important position. In recent years, with technological progress and industrial upgrading, production efficiency and product quality have been continuously improved. The United States and Europe also occupy an important share in the global chromic acid market with their strong industrial foundation and advanced production technology.
In fact, the development trend of the domestic industry is also in line with the consistent development trend of the international market. The competition and integration trend of the international chromic anhydride industry has become more prominent, and a market pattern has gradually formed in which only one dominant chromium salt enterprise remains in a certain region. China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of chromic anhydride, contributing 47% of the world's chromic anhydride production. With the continuous improvement of production capacity, the influence of domestic chromic acid enterprises in the world market will gradually expand in the future.
From the perspective of product market application, metal processing is one of the main application areas of chromic anhydride, especially in pickling, electroplating and anodizing. There is a large demand for chromic acid in this field because the metal processing industry has a wide and continuous need for surface treatment chemicals. Organic synthesis, as a core area of the chemical industry, involves organic compounds such as synthetic drugs, pesticides, plastics, and synthetic fibers, and also has a large demand for chromic acid. Chromic acid has a long history of use in dye and pigment manufacturing. Although environmental regulations may limit certain applications, it remains an important chemical in this field. In addition, chromic anhydride also plays a role in wood treatment, ceramic and glass industries, aerospace, catalysts and other fields. The demand for chromic anhydride in these fields is relatively small, but it is very important in specific applications. For example, material surface treatment in the aviation and aerospace industries, coloring in the ceramic and glass industries, and applications as catalysts or catalyst precursors.
At present, major global manufacturers include Zhenhua Chemical, Sisecam, Galaxy Chemical, American Chrome & Chemicals, Brothers Technology, Vishnu Chemicals, Novotroitsk Plant of Chromium Compounds, etc. In 2023, the share of major manufacturers will exceed 74%, and the oligopoly pattern will begin to emerge. The increase in industry concentration will enable leading companies to enjoy greater dominance and pricing power. Combined with the steady growth in demand in downstream surface treatment, pigments, new materials and other fields, the turning point of the prosperity of the chromic acid industry under the improvement of the supply and demand pattern is approaching.
