Based on type, the ferrosilicon market has been segmented into atomized ferrosilicon and milled ferrosilicon. Atomized ferrosilicon, known for its fine, spherical particle structure, finds applications in complex steel alloys and stainless steel, owing to its superior flowability and uniform distribution. Conversely, milled ferrosilicon, with its coarser particle size, serves as a cost-effective solution in applications such as heavy-medium separation in dense media plants and the production of welding agents. Both variants play vital roles in meeting diverse industrial demands.

Based on application, the ferrosilicon market has been segmented into deoxidizers and inoculants. Ferrosilicon is a critical alloy serving as both a deoxidizer and an inoculant in the steel and iron industry. Its deoxidizing properties aid in eliminating impurities from molten steel, ensuring the production of high-quality, durable steel for various applications. Additionally, as an inoculant, ferrosilicon enhances the mechanical properties of cast iron, improving its strength and wear resistance. Its versatile role in enhancing the integrity and performance of steel and iron products underscores its significance across diverse industrial sectors.
