Summary

2025 International Ferroalloy Industry Outlook & FerroAlloyNet Annual Summit will be held on 11-13 December 2024 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. We sincerely invite you to gather again in beautiful Chengdu to look forward to the future of ferroalloys in 2025!

【Summit Background】The global economic situation in 2024 remains complex and volatile. Factors such as trade protectionism and geopolitical tensions have had a significant impact on the global economy and the development of the ferroalloy industry. On the one hand, the slowdown in global economic growth has led to a decline in demand for ferroalloys and increased price fluctuations. On the other hand, trade protectionism has led to an increase in ferroalloy trade barriers, affecting the industry's international cooperation and development. In order to promote high-quality economic development, the Chinese government has successively introduced a series of policies and measures to stimulate demand recovery. At the same time, the government supports the transformation, upgrading and sustainable development of the ferroalloy industry, increases the research and development and promotion of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies, encourages enterprises to carry out technological transformation and innovation, improves resource utilization efficiency, and reduces pollutant emissions. At the same time, it strengthens macro-control of the ferroalloy industry, promotes market supply and demand balance, and stabilizes prices.

【Summit Purpose】The 2025 International Ferroalloy Industry Outlook & FerroAlloyNet Annual Summit will be themed "The Power of Alloys, the Appointment of Chengdu", aiming to build a communication platform for the ferroalloy industry and conduct in-depth discussions on the current status of the industry and key development issues. It will build a publicity platform for enterprises, and expand industry business opportunities. At the same time, it will build a cooperation platform for the ferroalloy industry and provide new opportunities for enterprise development.

【Summit Products】This conference will cover ferroalloy products including chrome, nickel, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, rare earth, complex alloy, ferrosilicon, cored wire, magnesium metal, etc. We will divide the conference trade negotiation area according to the commonality and difference of each product, setting up multiple speech sub-venues, and discuss core issues such as production, trade, technology, concepts, policies, and investment environment with industry experts and corporate representatives around the unpredictable ferroalloy market, and jointly explore new development opportunities for the ferroalloy industry in 2025.

【Summit Focuses】
Chrome series: Where is the bottom of chrome ore futures? Can stainless steel stop falling and rebound in the fourth quarter? Will the ferrochrome factory continue to suffer losses and reduce production on a large scale? What is the increase in chrome mines in South Africa in 2024? Will there be a reduction in production in foreign mines as chrome ore futures continue to decline? Will the supply of chrome ore in Zimbabwe continue to increase in the fourth quarter and early next year?

Manganese series: Shipping changes of Gabonese manganese ore under the shortage of high-grade manganese ore in Australia; The northward expansion behavior of Qinzhou Port traders has brought changes to the sales environment of manganese ore in Tianjin Port; How should manganese alloy factories cope with the environment of high inventory and light demand; Changes in production capacity and scale of manganese alloys in the north and south; The impact of adjusting the manganese ore price ratio of manganese alloy enterprises on the demand volume of manganese ore under high costs; Is there any further upgrade in electrolytic manganese production capacity and environmental protection;

Nickel series: How will Indonesia's policies change after the new president takes office? Distribution and supply of nickel ore quotas in Indonesia; Under the background of overcapacity, the status of nickel products in production and pending projects;

Ferrosilicon: With the arrival of the heating season, will there be any environmental protection policies in the main production areas of ferrosilicon in Northwest China? How will the supply and demand pattern develop and whether there will be any changes in the industrial pattern after the replacement and new production capacity investment in the ferrosilicon production area? The financial attributes of ferrosilicon are increasingly enhanced, and the market is increasingly influenced by macro, upstream and downstream, policy and other factors. How can industrial customers combine financial instruments to do a good job in their own development?

Tungsten series: The price of tungsten raw materials is in a fluctuating upward cycle, and the downstream hard alloy digestion capacity is insufficient, which is the response methods for smelting and powder enterprises in the middle reaches of the main industry chain; Against the backdrop of increasing attention to the recycling and utilization of tungsten waste, the current supply and demand status and future development trends of various types of tungsten waste; The opening of the US dollar interest rate cut has had a subsequent impact on the tungsten market; Foreign tungsten resources situation

Molybdenum series: What will be the incremental supply of molybdenum raw materials at China and abroad in 2025? The low selling price of ferromolybdenum become a norm, leading to a lack of liquidity, how will the market change in response? How will the demand for stainless steel (316L, duplex) and molybdenum containing special steel market change next year?

Vanadium series: Changes in the supply and demand pattern of the vanadium market in 2025; The future market and demand for vanadium in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries; Analysis of production and supply and demand of rebar in 2025;
