世界のマグネシウムの市場規模は、2024年に276億5,000万米ドルに達し、2032年までに429億8,000万米ドルに達すると予測され、予測期間の2025年~2032年にCAGRで5.67%の成長が見込まれます。
数多くの最終用途部門でのマグネシウム合金の需要の増加により、マグネシウム市場は飛躍的に拡大しています。マグネシウム合金は、マグネシウムにアルミニウム、亜鉛、マンガン、シリコン、銅、希土類、ジルコニウムなどの金属を加えた合金です。例えば2023年9月、中国の軽量材料企業であるBaosteel Metalは、河北省地方政府と、中国北部の河南省市にマグネシウム合金工業団地を作ることで合意しました。
マグネシウム市場の動向
世界のマグネシウム市場の一大動向は、中国からの輸入への依存度を下げ、サプライチェーンのレジリエンスを高めることを目標に、中国以外の地域でマグネシウムの現地生産を復活させることです。欧州では10年以上休止されていたマグネシウムの採掘が再開されつつあります。2024年、米国の投資企業Amerocapの支援を受けたVerde Magnesiumがルーマニアで鉱業権を取得し、オラデア近郊の廃鉱に10億米ドルを投資する意向を示しました。この取り組みは、2027年までに年間9万トンを生産し、EUの需要の半分を賄い、欧州のグリーン転換に寄与することを目指しています。
このアプローチは、自動車や包装に使用される軽量アルミ合金でマグネシウムに大きく依存している、自動車や航空宇宙などの産業にとって重要な原材料を確保するための広範な活動と一致しています。生産源を多様化することで、各地域はマグネシウム市場の供給途絶や価格変動に伴うリスクを軽減したいと考えています。
力学
軽量材料の需要の増加
脱炭素化とエネルギー効率化に向けた世界的なシフトに後押しされた、電気自動車(EV)産業と電子産業におけるマグネシウム合金の需要の急増は、世界のマグネシウム市場の重要な促進要因です。マグネシウムの密度はスチールよりも78.5%低く、マグネシウム合金はアルミニウムよりも最大35%軽いため、部品全体の重量を大幅に削減できます。
より厳しい公害基準を満たそうとするメーカー各社は、トランスミッションケーシング、ステアリングホイール、バッテリーハウジング、シートフレームなどの部品にマグネシウムを採用するようになっています。Volkswagen、BMW、Teslaなどの主要メーカーは、航続距離の向上とバッテリーの負担軽減のために、すでにマグネシウム合金を車のレイアウトに使用しています。
高い生産コスト
マグネシウムの抽出と加工に伴う高い生産コストは、世界のマグネシウム市場の成長に対する主な障壁となっています。マグネシウム生産はエネルギー集約型であり、大量の電力を必要とするため、経営コストが高くなります。この価格特徴は、競合材料に対するマグネシウムの競争力を制限し、さまざまな産業でのマグネシウムの普及を妨げる可能性があります。
マグネシウム資源の希少性は、この金属の大半が数ヶ国で採掘されるため、サプライチェーンの弱点になるという懸念をもたらします。例えば、2019年に中国がマグネシウムの主要な生産国となり、世界輸出市場の94%を占めました。この集中は、世界中での供給を、地政学的緊張、貿易制限、またはこれらの重要な地域における製造上の制約による混乱にさらすことになります。

Global Magnesium Market reached US$ 27.65 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 42.98 billion by 2032, growing with a CAGR of 5.67% during the forecast period 2025-2032.
The increased demand for magnesium alloys in numerous end-use sectors has resulted in a tremendous expansion in the magnesium market. Magnesium alloys are alloys composed of magnesium with additional metals such as aluminum, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, rare earth and zirconium. For instance, in September 2023, Baosteel Metal, a Chinese lightweight material company, made an agreement with the Hebei local government to make magnesium alloy industrial park in the city of Henan province, North China.
Magnesium Market Trend
A major trend in the global magnesium market is the resuscitation of local magnesium production in places other than China, with the goal of reducing reliance on Chinese imports and increasing supply chain resilience. Europe is resuming magnesium mining for the first time in over a decade. In 2024, Verde Magnesium, backed by US investor Amerocap, was awarded a mining license in Romania, with intentions to invest US$ 1 billion in a derelict mine near Oradea. This effort seeks to produce 90,000 tons yearly by 2027, covering half of the EU's demands and contributing to Europe's green transformation.
The approach is consistent with broader efforts to obtain crucial raw resources for industries like automotive and aerospace, which rely significantly on magnesium for lightweight aluminum alloys used in automobiles and packaging. By diversifying production sources, regions want to reduce the risks associated with supply disruptions and price volatility in the magnesium market.
Dynamic
Growing Demand for Lightweight Materials
The surge in demand for magnesium alloys in the electric vehicle (EV) and electronics industries, fueled by the global shift toward decarbonization and energy efficiency, is a key driver of the global magnesium market. Magnesium has a density that is 78.5% lower than steel and magnesium alloys are up to 35% lighter than aluminum, greatly lowering the overall weight of components, which is critical for enhancing energy efficiency in EVs and battery-powered systems.
As manufacturers seek to fulfill stricter pollution standards, they are increasingly resorting to magnesium for components such as transmission casings, steering wheels, battery housings and seat frames. Major manufacturers, such as Volkswagen, BMW and Tesla, are already using magnesium alloys into their car layouts to improve range and reduce battery strain.
High Production Costs
The high production costs associated with magnesium extraction and processing are a key barrier to growth in the global magnesium market. Magnesium production is energy-intensive, needing large amounts of electricity, which leads to high operating costs. This pricing aspect may limit magnesium's competitiveness relative to competing materials, thus impeding its widespread adoption in a variety of industries.
The scarcity of magnesium resources presents a concern because the metal is predominantly mined in a few nations, resulting in supply chain weaknesses. For example, in 2019, China became the major producer of magnesium, accounting for 94% of the global export market. This concentration exposes the worldwide supply to disruptions from geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions or manufacturing constraints in these important regions.
The global magnesium market is segmented based on product, application, end-user and region.
Rising Strength of Aluminum Alloys Drives the Segment Growth
Aluminum alloys are employed in structural applications because they have the maximum strength. Magnesium is added in amounts ranging from less than 1% to nearly 10%, improving the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys. The rising expansion and increased investments in the aluminum packaging industry will fuel demand for aluminum alloys, which are used to create aluminum packaging material.
For example, in July 2020, Showa Aluminum Can Corporation, a can manufacturer, opened its third aluminum can manufacturing facility in Vietnam, with a total plant capacity of 1.3 billion cans annually. Furthermore, the Aluminum Beverages Can Association of India supports the use of aluminum as a packaging material in the country's food industries, rather of plastic and glass.
Expanding Automotive Manufacturing in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is predicted to increase at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Rapid industrialization and the expansion of the automotive manufacturing base, particularly in China and India, are significant drivers. As the global need to lower vehicle emissions and increase fuel efficiency grows, magnesium alloys are increasingly being used to reduce weight by 30-70% in automotive parts such as gearboxes, steering columns and seating arrangements.
China, the world's largest magnesium producer and user, is a leader in this field, incorporating magnesium into electric car components and lightweight structural applications. Furthermore, government measures that promote electric mobility, such as China's New Energy Vehicle mandate and India's FAME-II scheme, are indirectly raising magnesium demand. Automotive OEMs such as BYD and Tata Motors are looking into magnesium alloys to reduce weight and improve battery performance. The expansion of the region's infrastructure and electronics sectors drives market growth.
Impact of US Tariff
The imposition of US tariffs on Chinese magnesium imports has significantly influenced the global magnesium market. US imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese magnesium imports starting February 4, 2025, raising procurement costs for American importers. This increase has been particularly impactful in sectors like automotive and aerospace, where magnesium is essential for producing lightweight components. The tariffs have diminished the price competitiveness of Chinese magnesium in US market, prompting buyers to seek alternative sources.
For instance, Latrobe Magnesium Limited (LMG) from Australia has capitalized on this shift, as its exports to US are exempt from the new tariffs, enhancing its market position. US tariffs on Chinese magnesium imports have led to higher costs for American importers, benefited alternative suppliers like Australia's LMG, caused supply chain adjustments and influenced global market dynamics, underscoring the interconnected nature of international trade policies and commodity markets.
The major global players in the market include Dead Sea Magnesium Ltd., US Magnesium LLC, Gossan Resources, Wenxi YinGuang Magnesium Industry (Group) Co. Ltd, Latrobe Magnesium, POSCO, RI.MA Group srl, Solikamsk Magnesium Works OAO, Shanxi Wenxi Hongfu Magnesium Co., Ltd. and Taiyuan Tongxiang Magnesium Co., Ltd.
