Magnesium Metal Market

Report Description

This FMI study offers a ten-year analysis and forecast of the global magnesium metal market for the period between 2016 and 2026. The study considers 2015 as the base year, with market values estimated for the year 2016, and forecast developed for the duration of 2016 to 2026. Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) has been calculated from 2016 to 2026. The study covers various perspectives of the magnesium metal market, including market dynamics, value chain, pricing analysis, competition analysis, regional and segmental growth comparison, and macro-economic and industry growth analysis, along with segment level projections in a comprehensive manner. As per the findings of the study and perspectives of industry participants, the global magnesium metal market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% between 2016 and 2026, in terms of value. Growing automotive industry, capacity expansion of crude steel production, and growth of the aviation industry of are some of the factors positively impacting the consumption of magnesium metal in the global market.

The FMI report on the magnesium metal market carefully analyses the market on a global and regional level through market segmentation on the basis of application. The primary objective of the report is to offer key insights on market updates, competition positioning, current trends, market potential, growth rates, and other relevant information and statistics in a suitable manner to the readers or various stakeholders of the market.

Global magnesium metal production capacity was pegged at around 1.9 million metric tonnes for 2015, while annual production of magnesium metal was around a million metric tonnes in the same year. On the flipside, global aluminium production of magnesium metal for 2015 stood at around 57 million metric tonnes. Of the overall global magnesium metal production capacity, around 85% is concentrated in China, while the remainder is distributed in pockets across the globe. Thus, the current supply of magnesium metal is characterised by an overdependence on magnesium metal output from China. Also, there exists regulations on the import of magnesium metal from China into the U.S. Moreover, there is only one magnesium metal producer based in the U.S., as of 2015. This renders the U.S. automotive industry reluctant in adopting magnesium metal on a wide scale.

Moreover, of the two major magnesium metal production routes, namely, the thermal process and electrolytic process, the former accounts for a dominant share in overall production capacity. In China, almost the entire magnesium metal output is obtained through the thermal process. Thermal process is energy- and labor-intensive, and is at the same time characterized by relatively more amount of environmental emissions.
