The global ferromanganese market size is expected to gain momentum by reaching USD 96.08 billion by 2028 from USD 73.12 billion in 2021 while exhibiting a CAGR of 4% between 2021 to 2028. In its report titled, “Ferromanganese Market, 2021-2028,” Fortune Business Insights™ mentions that the market stood at USD 70.85 billion in 2020.
The use of ferromanganese materials is in a wide variety of industries, such as construction, mining, machinery, and consumer and goods. Thus various applications are boosting its market. In addition, growing environmental concerns led manufacturers to develop advanced use of these materials in energy-efficient, cost-effective, and lightweight vehicles suggests American Iron and Steel Institute as advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) are strong, lighter in weight, and helps in decreasing a vehicle’s life-long carbon footprint.
COVID-19 Impact
The pandemic crippled the global economy worldwide. It affected the minerals and mining industry as well due to a mismatch in demand and supply chain. Moreover, the construction activities were also at a halt amid the lockdown. All this impacted the market negatively, and therefore, and the market witnessed a decline of 4.7%. However, this market is expected to come at pre-pandemic levels during the forecast period.

Driving Factors
The Availability of Sustainable Ores to Drive Market Growth
The availability of sustainable ores is raising the production of ferromanganese. For instance, natural gases which are rich in methane are more sustainable than solid carbon for their reduction. Moreover, the integrated duplex process makes it much simpler in yielding hydrogen and carbon from a molten metal bath that reduces magnesium oxide (MnO) from a coexisting molten slag. It is produced from the smelting of Mn ore. Therefore, the duplex process is known to be the most sustainable one, as it lowers 40% of CO2 emission than SAF and around 50% less electric energy consumption.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific to Dominate Backed by Rapid Urbanization & Industrialization
Asia Pacific is expected to remain at the forefront and hold the highest position in the market during the forecast period owing to fast-paced urbanization and industrialization in developing countries such as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Moreover, Australia and China are among the top five countries which produce iron. The aforementioned factors are driving the regional market. The region stood at USD 27.83 billion in 2020.
North America is anticipated to exhibit favorable ferromanganese market share in upcoming years owing to increased demand for stainless steel in various applications such as decorative automotive components, food and beverage equipment, and consumer goods.
