The Global High Purity Magnesium Oxide market was valued at USD 257.2 million in 2019 and is projected to reach around USD 377.1 million by 2027, expanding at CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. In terms of volume, the market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 5.0% between 2020 and 2027. Magnesium oxide is a silvery metal, flammable, light, and a chemical element having the symbol Mg with an atomic number of 12. High purity magnesium oxide is produced by calcination of the magnesium hydroxide (Mg (OH)2) or mineral magnesite (MgCO3), which is obtained from brine by liming or seawater. It is produced from thermal hydrolysis of magnesium sulfide (MgS), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), and basic carbonate. High purity magnesium is considered to be the eighth-most abundant element and it is typically 0.12% of seawater and equals about 2% of the Earth's crust.
Market Dynamics
The global high purity magnesium oxide market is anticipated to grow due to the rise in industrialization in developing countries and due to back development of ceramics, nonferrous metal, and the chemical industry. Moreover, rising product demand for dietary supplements for maintaining product quality in the pharma industry is likely to boost market during the forecast period. The market is facing unprecedented challenges such as environmental pressures, water resources, product homogeneity, high production cost, and industrial blind development. These factors are expected to hamper the market in the coming years.
By Types
Definitions
Pharmaceutical Grade Magnesium Oxide
High purity magnesium helps in the transportation of potassium and calcium ions through body cell membranes to support normal, healthy heart rhythm. A high purity magnesium oxide product is a free-flowing white powder, which is used for producing pharmaceutical-grade magnesium derivatives for food additives and mineral supplements. Moreover, it is used in the manufacturing of antacid preparations.
Food Grade Magnesium Oxide
The high purity magnesium oxide is used as a food additive for pH modification, color retention, powder mix desiccant (drying agents), or a magnesium supplement. Furthermore, high purity magnesium oxide keeps powdered foods such as powder drink mixes in free-flowing form. The food grade magnesium oxide is used as an additive in food production. It is also used as a coagulant in making tofu and other types of bean products.
Synthetic Magnesium Oxide
Synthetic magnesium oxide (MgO) is synthetically produced from magnesium chloride and dolime. It is used in the production of transformer steel, chemical, magnesium compounds, and in the leather industry for leather tanning.
By Applications
