The global manganese oxide (MnO) market size was USD 173.6 million in 2020, as per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 294.72 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the manganese oxide (MnO) market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Manganese(II) oxide, MnO, is a blackish-brown solid that occurs naturally as the mineral hausmannite. It can also be prepared synthetically by various methods, including the thermal decomposition of manganese salts or the reduction of higher manganese oxides. MnO is a relatively stable compound and is insoluble in water.

Manganese oxide has a wide range of applications across various industries. It is used as a pigment in ceramics, paints, and varnishes. It imparts brown or black color to these materials. MnO is also used in the production of batteries, particularly alkaline batteries. It acts as a depolarizer, helping to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the manganese oxide (MnO) market share. Manganese oxide has been employed in the manufacturing of medical equipment and devices, such as sensors, electrodes, and diagnostic tools. These products play a vital role in the detection, monitoring, and treatment of diseases, including COVID-19. Manganese oxide nanoparticles have shown potential in drug delivery systems, where they can be utilized to enhance the effectiveness of therapeutic compounds. While not specific to COVID-19, advancements in drug delivery systems can have broader implications for pharmaceutical research and development. Manganese oxide (MnO) catalysts are used in water treatment processes, including the disinfection and purification of water supplies. This can be important for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of diseases, including those caused by viruses.
