The global ferrosilicon market size reached US$ 12.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 14.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4% during 2023-2028.
Ferrosilicon (FeSi) refers to an alloy of iron and silicon that is industrially produced by reducing sand or silica in the presence of iron at very high temperatures. It is widely used in the reduction of metals from their oxides and in the deoxidization of steel and other ferrous alloys to prevent the loss of carbon from molten steel and other materials. It is also employed in electrode coatings utilized in arc welding and in the manufacturing of iron, steel, and other ferroalloys. It has excellent strength, resistance to corrosion, abrasion and temperature, high specific gravity, and magnetism. As a result, ferrosilicon finds extensive applications in metallurgy, construction, automotive, semiconductors, chemical processing, and solar energy.
