Global Magnesium Carbonate Minerals Market Definition

Magnesium Carbonate is a white-colored solid mineral with high melting and insolubility properties. Due to high retardant and absolved characteristics, it is used in fire extinguishers to prevent outbreaks of fires and ensure safety. There is high demand for these minerals from the cosmetics industry. Magnesium carbonate has friendly properties which support the cleanup of spillage of hazardous chemicals. It is used to treat industrial wastewater before it is discharged into the river waters. It is also used to manufacture magnesium ion batteries which are highly efficient in terms of battery life and usage as compared to lithium-ion batteries.

One of the major restraints that can be identified in this market is the rigorous and continuous fluctuations in the global commodity prices, which makes the predictability element away from this commodity. Moreover, the general hike in commodity prices recently has caused consumer prices to shoot up as the manufacturers look to transfer the cost to the consumers. Also, this rise in prices could be detrimental to other industries, which rely on magnesium carbonate as an input or require them in the initial phase.

Moreover, due to its lightweight and strong resistance properties, it is used to manufacture alloys. These alloys find applications in the automotive aftermarket industry as well as heavy mechanical industries. The growing demand for solar devices is also expected to drive the growth of this market. It is also used for the production of plastic and rubber products due to its high tensile strength. The growing need for magnesium oxide which is obtained by the calcination of magnesium carbonate is also expected to drive the growth of this market.
