Magnesium oxide
Magnesium oxide is a hygroscopic compound which finds application in multiple purposes. As per the analysis of Market Research Future (MRFR), the global magnesium oxide market is poised to reach USD 5,376.5 Mn at a CAGR of 5.34% by the end of the forecast period of 2017–2023. In terms of volume, the global magnesium oxide market is expected to expand at a rate of 5.07% over the forecast period.
The global magnesium oxide market derives much of its growth from persistent demand from the steel, glass & ceramics industry. Owing to its property of remaining physically and chemically stable at high temperatures, high thermal conductivity, and low electrical conductivity, magnesium oxide is largely used as refractory material in the industries above which forms a large chunk of the revenue of the global magnesium oxide market. Rebound in the steel industry is expected to provide long-term growth opportunities to the global magnesium oxide market.
Magnesium oxide finds supreme importance as a commercial plant fertilizer. Magnesium is a vital component which aids in the photosynthesis process and is extensively used for the production of crops which require magnesium rich fertilizers for yielding optimal quality produce — owing to its high magnesium concentration and bioavailability, magnesium oxide is also used as animal feed.

Competitive Landscape
The notable players in the global magnesium oxide market include RHI Magnesita N.V.(Austria), Grecian Magnesite S.A. (Greece), Xinyang Mineral Group (India), Ube Industries Ltd (Japan), PremierMagnesia LLC (U.S.), Tatheo Chemicals Industries Co. (Japan), Baymag Inc ( Canada), Martin Marietta (U.S.), ICL (Israel), SMZ, a.s. Jelsava (Slovakia), and Kumas Magnesite Industry Inc (Turkey).
Magnesium oxide finds large scale application in groundwater remediation, wastewater treatment, and drinking water treatment. Rapid industrialization across the global and growing focus on cleaner industry practices has induced high demand for magnesium oxide. It is environmentally-friendly and a safer alternative to other harsh chemicals such as caustic soda or Lyme chemicals. Another prominent driver augmenting the growth of the global magnesium oxide market include heightened demand from the construction industry. Magnesium acts a prime fireproofing ingredient and exhibits desirable properties such as termite resistance, moisture resistance, mold and mildew resistance, and others which makes it ideally suited as a construction material. The rise in constructional activities across the globe generates increased demand for magnesium oxide.
Other factors stimulating the growth of the market include application in diverse use cases such as a food additive in food items and the medical sector. However, the growth of the market might be offset by the threat from substitutes such as graphite and silicon carbide which exhibit similar properties.
Segmentation
The global magnesium oxide market has been segmented based on product type and application.
By product type, the global magnesium oxide market has been segmented into dead burned magnesium (DBM), caustic calcined magnesia (CCM), and fused magnesium (FM).
By application, the global magnesium oxide market has been segmented into refractory, agriculture, chemical intermediates, construction, and others.
Regional Analysis
By region, the global magnesium oxide market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Latin America (LATAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA).
APAC is the largest market for magnesium oxide, led by China which was valued at USD 1691.2 Mn in 2018. Rapid industrialization has resulted in an upsurge in demand for refractory materials, from the iron & steel industry, in particular. Additionally, the presence of agrarian economies in the region generates demand for magnesium oxide in the region. The APAC magnesium market is expected to post a CAGR of 5.64% over the forecast period.
