In 2025, the global reserves of the transition metal chromium reached a peak of approximately 1.74 billion metric tons, a significant increase from the 350 million metric tons held in 2010. South Africa had the world's largest reserves of chromium that year. Chromium metal is highly valuable due to its hardness and corrosion resistance.
