Chromium (Cr), an essential trace metal with a distinctive blue tinge, is produced through the reduction of chromite with carbon in an electric arc furnace. The electroplating technique is employed to add a thin layer of chromium to various metal objects, enhancing their surface appearance and hardness.

Moreover, it contributes to the durability, metallurgical properties, and corrosion resistance of the product. Automotive manufacturers widely employ chromium in decorative or functional plating on various interior and exterior vehicle components, including bumpers, grilles, logos, headlights, wheel skins, handles, and fuel doors.

Market Trends:

The expanding automotive sector has generated a growing demand for decorative chrome plating, protecting conventional and passenger vehicles from corrosion and scratches while providing a glossy finish. Chromium's resistance to oxidation, rust, and tarnish makes it a preferred choice for automobile manufacturers as a decorative topcoat on stainless steel or nickel-plated parts.

Furthermore, the market is driven by the need for lightweight vehicle components to enhance vehicle lifespan and performance, rising disposable incomes, and evolving consumer preferences.

Technological advancements and the establishment of smart automobile production facilities with reduced operational costs are additional contributors to market growth.
