Summary

FerroAlloyNet 27^th International Chrome & Nickel & Stainless Steel & New Energy Industry Conference will be held in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China on March 26-28, 2025. We sincerely invite you to attend!

【Conference Background】Under the influence of various factors such as the global economic situation, supply and demand, and raw material prices, the overall price of stainless steel in 2024 showed a trend of “restrain after rise”. While the price bottomed out, the output continued to reach new highs. Against the backdrop of increasing global environmental protection awareness, the green transformation of the ferroalloy industry is not only a trend, but also a crucial step towards achieving global sustainable development goals. In 2024, the fluctuation range of high carbon ferrochrome prices widened again, and the trend clearly separated in the first and second half of the year. In the first half of 2024, the price of ferrochrome operated at a high level around costs, and due to the continuous upward breakthrough of chrome ore consumption, the initiative of ore prices has been tightly grasped by sellers, with profits mainly flowing upstream. Domestic participants have fully entered the era of "thin profit". Entering the second half of the year, the output and import volume of ferrochrome continued to reach new highs, while the stainless steel market remained sluggish, with weak market demand. Steel mills' bidding prices continued to decline significantly, and factories have launched a large-scale "self rescue" wave of production curtailment. Chrome ore consumption has decreased, port inventory has accumulated, futures prices have plummeted sharply, and a pessimistic atmosphere has enveloped the domestic chrome market. After the "thin profit" era, factories and traders have directly entered an era of significant losses. In 2025, Indonesia's nickel projects are expected to maintain growth, and demand for nickel ore will continue to rise. The Indonesian government continues to release signals to control nickel ore production capacity, and the market remains highly concerned about the supply of Indonesian mines. At the same time, the Philippines' export trade of nickel ore to Indonesia will continue to be highly active. The expected increase in domestic pure nickel production capacity by 2025 is 36,000 tons, with high delivery profits and strong cost support for pure nickel. The spot and futures market continues to maintain high vitality. New energy, intelligent manufacturing, and "carbon peaking and neutrality" policies are driving the development of the lithium battery equipment industry, and the era of global carbon neutrality is approaching. Countries have set clear carbon neutrality targets, driven by policies and a decrease in consumer usage costs, the electrification of automobiles continues to accelerate, and the market demand for lithium remains high.
