The global magnesite and brucite market size is expected to be USD 507.2 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 721.9 million by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0% during the forecast period.
Magnesium, the eighth most common element in nature, makes up 2.4 percent of the earth's crust. It is not found in its natural state due to its high reactivity; instead, it can be found in a wide range of compounds in saltwater, rocks, and brines. The carbonates dolomite and magnesite are the most prevalent ore minerals. The hydroxide mineral brucite and the halide mineral carnallite are less prevalent. The major topics of this report are magnesite and brucite. It tarnishes a little in air and is a silvery-white tint.
COVID-19 Impact: Challenges Faced by Manufacturers and Distributors due to the Pandemic
Critical economic activities had been held down in numerous nations because of the COVID-19 epidemic. The principal cause of this slowdown is a result of numerous actions taken by the relevant governments to slow the spread of this infection. A huge gap between market supply and demand was developed as significant economies implemented precautionary lockdowns, which made it more challenging for manufacturers and distributors to efficiently manage their individual operations. This is a key element that will likely affect the likelihood of revenue growth. However, this market is anticipated to return to its pre-COVID-19 status as these lockdowns are gradually lifted and economies start to recover.
LATEST TRENDS
"Development of the Largest Brucite Deposit to Expand Sales "
Leading brucite producer Russian Mining Chemical Co. LLC (RMCC) completed the initial phase of development of what they described as the largest brucite deposit in the world in April 2020 and has partnered with Quimialmel to process brucite in Spain. The business is committed to beginning production in 2025, which will enable RMCC to achieve its objective of expanding sales to 500000 tpa brucite, despite the COVID-19 pandemic's concerns. The proximity of the deposit to significant Asian markets will enhance RMCC's position in this region of the world.

DRIVING FACTORS
"Increasing Demand from Refractory Applications is Anticipated to Drive Market Expansion"
The increasing demand for magnesite in the chemical and construction industries, as well as the rising production of its product type globally, are the main reasons driving the rise of the magnesite and brucite industries. Additionally, the magnesite market is expanding as a result of increased demand from refractory applications, particularly in the steel and iron industries. Magnesite is crucial to the refractory industries, and rising global steel and iron production is projected to increase demand for refractories. Less than 70% of magnesite is applied by end users in the refractory sector, which will drive the expansion of the industry as a whole in the years to come.
"Increasing Usage in Treatment of Wastewater to Foster Market Growth"
Due to the brucite's compositional features, another driver driving the magnesite and brucite industry, this element exhibits moderate alkalinity and can be utilized as a safe, non-toxic, and harmless green neutralizer in the treatment of acidic wastewater. In the process of neutralizing acidic chemicals, brucite also has some buffering capacity. In addition to this, brucite possesses a high degree of whiteness, good peeling properties, strong adhesion, and low water absorption. When combined with calcite as a filler, it allows the papermaking process to switch from an acidic method to an alkaline method, reducing slurry water contamination.
RESTRAINING FACTOR
"Government Policies and Threat of Substitutes are Hindering in the Growth of this Market"
Manufacturers of magnesite and brucite encounter significant obstacles as a result of environmental restrictions and government policies enacted to reduce environmental pollution coming from the steel industry and other industries. As these emanations hurt the environment and people more and more, they can even lead to major health problems in people. In addition, magnesite alternatives are preventing the magnesite and brucite market growth in the upcoming years.
