Magnesium carbonate minerals are witnessing an upsurge in demand, owing to their application in multiple end-use sectors such as pharmaceuticals & personal care and construction. Magnesium carbonate minerals are used to produce raw materials that serve as refractory materials for steel, metallurgy, and ceramic industries. End users such as the chemical industry also use magnesium carbonate minerals to produce raw materials for plastic, polymers, paints, and fertilizers.
Magnesite, in meagre amounts, is also used as a gem and lapidary material. Moreover, there is an expected revamp in pharmaceutical and personal care industries, owing to the current Covid-19 pandemic, which, in turn, is anticipated to drive the magnesium carbonate minerals market in the near term. Refractory bricks & kilns and building & flooring materials are also paving way for robust sales.
The global magnesium carbonate minerals market was valued at US$ 208 Mn in 2020, and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period (2020-2030).

East Asia to Offer Opportunities of Growth and Profitability
East Asia is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the global magnesium carbonate minerals market, owing to the increasing demand from pharmaceutical and personal care industries, along with refractories. Manufacturers in East Asia are facing stiff competition, given the higher concentration of players in the region. Moreover, magnesium carbonate minerals have multiple end uses, hence, the market is likely to flourish in the years ahead. Easy availability of raw materials and cheap labour is poised to propel the magnesium carbonate minerals market in East Asia.
On the flip side, chemical and automotive industries in East Asia are under extreme pressure due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Uncertainty in the global economic order and capital markets is shrinking the profit pools of industrial executives. Chemical and automotive industries in East Asia are undergoing manufacturing standstills in order to avoid workers getting affected by the coronavirus, as well as address the demand drop from businesses and consumers during nationwide lockdowns. These factors are affecting the growth of the magnesium carbonate minerals market.
