Trivalent Chromium Finishing Market Research Report by Type (Plating, Passivation, Conversion Coatings), by Application (Hydraulics & Heavy Machinery, Oil & Gas, Automotive, Aerospace, Others), and Region - Global Forecast till 2032

Trivalent chromium finishing market overview

The Trivalent Chromium Finishing Market Size was valued at USD 273.81 Billion in 2023. The Trivalent Chromium Finishing industry is projected to grow from USD 290.66 Billion in 2024 to USD 465.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.80% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). And trivalent chromium is used in the industries, like automotive, hydraulic, and heavy equipment manufacturing as it eliminates the hazards connected with hexavalent plating, in addition to that, the system allows a layer of uniform thickness over the surface of the component with better throwing power, hence enhancing the productivity of metal and non-metal finishing operations.

Developed countries are the biggest market for this trivalent chromium and there has been a considerable rise in automobile sales. The automobile manufacturers provide various incentive schemes to boost vehicle sales and trivalent chromium finished products are used in vehicles. The growing demand for automotive is in turn aimed to encourage the trivalent chromium finishing growth as automotive part manufacturers have to comply with the end-of-life-vehicles directive, which mandates the use of trivalent chrome.

Segmentation Overview

The global trivalent chromium finishing market is segmented on the basis of type and application. By type, the market is segmented into plating, conversion coatings, and passivation. Major applications of trivalent chromium finishing include automotive, hydraulics & heavy machinery, oil & gas, aerospace, and others.
