CHROMIUM 2025

Seville, Spain

4-6 November 2025

An outlook of European and International chrome markets!

The International Chromium Development Association is pleased to announce that it will host its landmark conference, Chromium, in Seville, Spain on 4-6 November 2025.

Key insights have been provided by recent conferences held in both the China and South Africa, which currently are the leading forces in the chrome industry. It is now time to examine the current state of the European market, which is at a critical turning point. The emergence of Europe as a new economic and political bloc between the USA and the Global South has coincided with significant shifting trends in the region’s industrial competitiveness.

The region has been affected by international trade wars and geopolitical conflicts, as well as its complex regulatory environment in comparison to other jurisdictions. These factors have had a significant impact on the local ferroalloy and stainless steel sectors.

The new geopolitical landscape is prompting a rethinking of industrial strategy.

The panel discussions will address the following key questions:

– What is the European strategy for tackling these challenges and re-industrialising?

– Could Europe become a driving industrial force again?

– What is the current outlook on the Europe-China relationship in the context of the US trade war and geopolitical landscape?

– What are future prospects for the ferroalloys and stainless steel industry in Europe, and how will EU safeguard criticak industrial sector and ensure a reliable chrpme supply?

– Which innovative uses if chromium are set to play a role in the energy transition and technology of the future?

– How sustainability and ESG are reshaping the mining and metals sector and are key to attracting investment?

This event is an unmissable opportunity for those with an interest in chrome markets across the value chain, as well as in critical and strategic raw materials. The event will comprise panel discussions featuring prominent experts, industry CEOs, and leading analysts. It will also include regional outlooks.

In addition, the programme features a technical tour of Acerinox Europa, a leading producer of stainless steel and high-performance alloys.
