H1 2023: The major players in the global Magnesium Chloride market were Compass Minerals International, Inc., Uralkali JSC, and Intrepid Potash, Inc. The Asia Pacific market for Magnesium Chloride experienced varied market dynamics in H1 2023, owing to fluctuating demand from the cement sector. Magnesium chloride prices in China exhibited a mixed pattern during H1 2023. The Magnesium chloride price had an abrupt increase in April 2023. It was backed by the factors like increase in demand from its downstream sectors, such as cement sector, which had put significant pressure on the Chinese market's supply of materials. Due to low stock of magnesium chloride in the Chinese market, suppliers struggled to meet the increased demand. As a result, to fulfil rising demand, there has been a large increase in commodities trade activity in both April and May 2023. In June 2023, the price of Magnesium Chloride in the Chinese market observed a downward price trajectory. The downstream industries' demand remained at the low end due to a high base resulting in market saturation. However, in the US, magnesium chloride prices spiked in February 2023 and then remained bearish for the remaining of the months of H1 2023. Magnesium chloride's price continued to decline due to sluggish inquiries from related industries like the cement sector. Additionally, magnesium chloride prices declined in May 2023 as a result of the sufficient product supplies in US’ ports that kept the market oversupplied.
The global Magnesium Chloride market stood nearby 1700 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.39% during the forecast period until 2035.
Magnesium Chloride is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula of MgCl2. It is usually obtained from seawater or brine. It is an odorless white powder and has water-absorbing nature that contributes to its applications like de-icing in cold countries. Magnesium Chloride has numerous industrial applications like cement, de-icing application, cement, magnesium production, synthesis of Ziegler-Natta Catalyst, soil stabilization, dust control, etc.
The primary market driving factor for the growth of Magnesium Chloride market is its application in Cement Industry. In 2022, the Sorel Cement industry consumed about 40% of the Magnesium Chloride market and is anticipated to dominate the Magnesium Chloride market in the forecast period. This chemical quickly absorbs moisture from the environment due to its hygroscopic nature, results in melting the ice. Therefore, its de-icing applications to clear ice from highways in colder areas is anticipated to further fuel the Magnesium Chloride market in the forecast period. The Magnesium Chloride market demand is expected to reach approximately 2900 thousand tonnes by 2035.
Based on region, Asia Pacific is dominating across all the areas around the globe, with a consumption of about 50% of the global Magnesium Chloride in 2022. With various developing countries situated in Asia, there is a huge demand for cement on account of rapid industrialization. Increased government spendings on road construction, bridges, and other public service infrastructure, as well as increased renovation and repair activities will further propel the cement demand in this region. Magnesium Chloride is utilized in manufacturing cement which leads to its growing demand in the forecast period. North America and Europe are also prominent consumers of Magnesium Chloride. Magnesium chloride is becoming more popular as a deicing agent, particularly in North American and European nations with colder climates.
China has the highest capacity of producing Magnesium Chloride, with most of the global Magnesium Chloride demand being fulfilled by companies located in China. In 2022, China produced approximately 30% of the globally produced Magnesium Chloride.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Magnesium Chloride market is segmented into Sorel Cement, Dust Suppressant, Deicing Agent, and others. The Sorel Cement industry is dominating the Magnesium Chloride market. It is anticipated that this sector will grow the forecast period. The applications of Magnesium Chloride as a Dust Suppressant and De-icing agent will further fuel the Magnesium Chloride demand in the forecast period.
Major producers in the production of Global Magnesium Chloride market are Compass Minerals International, Inc., Uralkali JSC, Intrepid Potash, Inc, HuiTai Investment Co., Weifang Yuze Chemical Co.,Ltd., Qinghai Salt Lake Potash Co.,Ltd., Israel Chemical Limited, and NikoMag.
