HIGH PURITY MAGNESIUM OXIDE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global high purity magnesium oxide market size was USD 0.57 billion in 2024 and market is expected to reach USD 0.81 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific is dominating the high purity magnesium oxide market share in 2025.

Magnesium oxide is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Mg and atomic number 12 that is a silvery metal, combustible, and light. Magnesite (MgCO3), a mineral that can be extracted from brine by liming or seawater, or magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), is created by calcining to produce high purity magnesium oxide. It is made by heating magnesium sulphide (MgS), magnesium sulphate (MgSO4), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), and basic carbonate to their boiling points. Magnesium of high purity is thought to be the eighth most prevalent element, making up about 0.12% of saltwater and roughly 2% of the Earth's crust. The rise in industrialization in developing nations, as well as the continued expansion of ceramics, nonferrous metals, and the high purity magnesium oxide industry, all predict growth for this sector globally.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Restrictions on Manufacturing and Related Activities due to the Spread of the Virus

The high purity magnesium oxide market had been significantly impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which had also had a significant impact on the development, production, and advertising of the market products. Since the pandemic spread throughout the world in March 2020, the vast majority of assembly and manufacturing facilities have either had to close due to the lockdown and restrictions imposed, or some have given up due to increased competition, which has further restricted the suspension of market undertakings as there has been a decline in the availability of resources and raw materials for ideal production. Due to the long hours and burdensome criteria placed on trained personnel, the market tasks were further impeded.

LATEST TRENDS

Technological Advancements to Stimulate Market Growth

Russian Mining Chemical Company (RMCC) started producing highly active magnesium oxide in 2018 and increased its selection of premium magnesium compounds. The MagPro brand is being used to market this item. Modern technologies and methods were incorporated into the design of this line to guarantee a high-quality finished product. MagPro is a natural product made by indirect calcination of premium brucite, and its application in the creation of rubber goods is considered to offer various benefits. With the use of this technology, magnesium oxide is kept free of fuel combustion byproduct contaminates, and the product is also kept from overheating, which would decrease its activity.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Adoption in Medical Industry to Foster Market Advancements

High purity magnesium supports a regular, healthy heart rhythm by assisting calcium and potassium ions in moving through body cell membranes. To create pharmaceutical-grade magnesium derivatives for food additives and mineral supplements, high purity magnesium oxide is produced as a free-flowing white powder. It is also employed in the production of antacid medicines. These elements contribute to the forecasted high purity magnesium oxide market growth.

Increasing Usage in Food Industry to Foster Market Developments

High purity magnesium oxide is used as a food additive for pH alteration, color retention, powder mix desiccant (drying agents), or as a supplement for magnesium. High purity magnesium oxide also maintains the fluid state of powered meals like drink mix powders. Magnesium oxide made for use in food processing is utilized as an additive. Tofu and other bean-based products are made using it as a coagulant as well.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Presence of Alternatives Can Hamper Market Growth

Graphite and silica are two acceptable substitutes that are increasingly preferred in a variety of applications. These materials are extensively used in the non-ferrous metal, ceramic, glass, and steel industries. The market for mass spectrometry may also be slowed during the projection period by the initial high cost, maintenance, and lack of experienced professionals in developing economies. There is potential for more growth in the market for high purity magnesium oxide. But over the foreseeable period, the availability of numerous alternatives reduces demand for magnesium oxide.
