The global magnesium derivatives market was valued at ~US$ 38 Bn in 2019 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5%, in terms of value, from 2020 to 2030. Magnesium derivatives are extensively used in agriculture, pharmaceutical, chemical, and construction applications due to their unique combination of characteristics. For instance, magnesium oxide is primarily used as an excellent source of magnesium in fertilizers to decrease the magnesium deficiency of soil. This enhances the yield and nutritional value of the soil. Magnesium hydroxide is also used in the manufacture of flame retardants, as it is economical and environment-friendly.
Magnesium carbonate, another magnesium derivative, is prominently used in the production of magnesium carbonate. Magnesium carbonate and magnesium carbonate-based minerals, such as hydromagnesite are used as materials in the manufacture of flame retardants. The rise in demand for low impurity steel is boosting the demand for high performance refractory linings. Magnesium carbonate is a key raw material for magnesium oxide, and in turn, refractory linings. It significantly influences performance characteristics of refractories. This is estimated to boost the consumption of magnesium derivatives, thereby driving the magnesium derivatives market in the near future.

Key Drivers of Global Magnesium Derivatives Market
– Magnesium derivatives such as magnesium hydroxide, magnesium sulfate, and magnesium chloride carry smoke suppressant and flame retardant properties. Magnesium derivatives are employed to reduce flammability in a wide range of materials.
– Rise in THE number of fire incidents and increase in fire safety regulations & guidelines across the world are boosting the usage of flame retardants. Major industries are also taking proactive steps to avoid fire incidents. This is expected to drive the demand for flame retardants, thereby propelling the global magnesium derivatives market during the forecast period.
– Increase in the demand for food, decrease in cultivation area, rise in the demand for sulfur-free fertilizers, and growth in magnesium deficiency of soil owing to the usage of ammonia-based fertilizers are some of the key factors driving the demand for magnesium oxide in the fertilizers industry. This, in turn, is augmenting the global magnesium derivatives market.
Rising Demand for Dead Burnt Magnesite to Offer Lucrative Opportunities
– Dead burnt magnesia (DBM)/refractory magnesia is primarily used as a key component in refractory materials such as bricks, refractory mortars, gunning material, and cement. It is used to manufacture magnesium oxide, which is employed in several applications, including refractory and steel industries. DBM is resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and high heat. The steel & iron industry is a key consumer of DBM.
– The consumption of DBM has been increasing due to the rise in the demand for steel refractory materials across the world. According to the World Steel Association, global steel production increased by 5.2% in 2018. Rise in the consumption of steel leads to an increase in the consumption of steel refractory bricks.
– China is a key manufacturer and consumer of steel across the globe. It is a prominent producer of magnesite in the world, followed by Turkey and Russia. The country accounts for 50% share of MgO exports in the world.
– Favorable economic conditions, growth in investments in infrastructure, and rise in industrialization in developing economies are key factors boosting the demand for dead burnt magnesite. This is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities to the magnesium derivatives market.
Fluctuation in Raw Material Prices to Hamper Magnesium Derivatives Market
– Raw materials such as magnesite, dolomite, brucite, and olivine minerals are employed in the manufacture of magnesium derivatives as well as magnesium. Manufacturers of magnesium derivatives are dependent on suppliers to meet their requirements for raw materials.
– Historically, the prices of magnesium derivatives have increased and decreased due to factors related to raw materials such as availability and supply. The prices of raw materials depend upon the production and supply of and demand for magnesium across the globe.
– Regulations imposed on mining also hamper the production of magnesium derivatives. Increase in duties on imports and exports is another factor responsible for fluctuation in the prices of raw materials.
– Volatility in availability and fluctuating prices of raw materials can significantly hamper the global magnesium derivatives market. It can reduce the production and consumption of magnesium derivatives. It can also negatively affect the adoption of magnesium derivative-based applications.
