Summary

The global market for Chromic Acid was estimated to be worth US$ 1126 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1478 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Chromic acid is a compound with the chemical formula H2CrO4. Chromic acid is also known as chromate formed by hexavalent chromium dissolved in water. Its molecular weight is 118.0 g/mol, melting point is 197°C, density is 1.201 g/cm3, and CAS number is 7738-94-5. Chromic acid is a red solid at room temperature and pressure, and its decomposition point is 250°C. Chromic acid solution of normal concentration is yellow-red, but at higher concentrations, it turns red or dark red and black.
Chromium trioxide is the anhydride of chromic acid and is an orange-red solid at room temperature. Since it can be precipitated by adding concentrated sulfuric acid to an aqueous solution of chromate or dichromate, it has long been called "chromic acid" in industry.
The global production capacity of chromic acid is mainly concentrated in countries and regions such as China, the United States and Europe. As a major manufacturing country in the world, China's chromic acid production capacity and output occupy an important position. In recent years, with technological progress and industrial upgrading, production efficiency and product quality have been continuously improved. The United States and Europe also occupy an important share in the global chromic acid market with their strong industrial foundation and advanced production technology.
In fact, the development trend of the domestic industry is also in line with the consistent development trend of the international market. The competition and integration trend of the international chromic acid industry has become more prominent, and a market pattern has gradually formed in which only one dominant chromium salt enterprise remains in a certain region. China has become the world's largest producer and consumer of chromic acid, contributing 47% of the world's chromic acid production. With the continuous improvement of production capacity, the influence of domestic chromic acid enterprises in the world market will gradually expand in the future.
From the perspective of product market application, metal processing is one of the main application areas of chromic acid, especially in pickling, electroplating and anodizing. There is a large demand for chromic acid in this field because the metal processing industry has a wide and continuous need for surface treatment chemicals. Organic synthesis, as a core field of the chemical industry, involves organic compounds such as synthetic drugs, pesticides, plastics, and synthetic fibers, and there is also a large demand for chromic acid. Chromic acid has a long history of use in dye and pigment manufacturing, and although environmental regulations may limit certain applications, it remains an important chemical in this field. In addition, chromic acid also plays a role in wood treatment, ceramic and glass industries, aerospace, catalysts and other fields. The demand for chromic acid in these fields is relatively small, but it is very important in specific applications. For example, material surface treatment in the aviation and aerospace industries, coloring in the ceramic and glass industries, and applications as catalysts or catalyst precursors.
At present, major global manufacturers include Zhenhua Chemical, Sisecam, Galaxy Chemical, American Chrome & Chemicals, Brothers Technology, Vishnu Chemicals, Novotroitsk Plant of Chromium Compounds, etc. In 2023, the share of major manufacturers will exceed 74%, and the oligopoly pattern will begin to emerge. The increase in industry concentration will enable leading companies to enjoy greater dominance and pricing power. Combined with the steady growth in demand in downstream surface treatment, pigments, new materials and other fields, the turning point of the prosperity of the chromic acid industry under the improvement of the supply and demand pattern is approaching.
