Segment Analysis

The global magnesium carbonate market has been segmented based on product type, application type, and end-use.

On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into heavy magnesium carbonate, light magnesium carbonate, and others. The light magnesium carbonate segment was attributed to holding the largest market share in 2022. Light magnesium carbonate's sales are driven by the pharmaceutical industry's increasing need for it, mainly as an antacid and excipient.

Based on application type, the global magnesium carbonate market has been segmented into additive & filler, smoke suppressant, reinforcing agent, drying agent, antacid, whitening agent, and others. The antacid segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. The need for efficient antacid drugs is increased by the frequency of gastrointestinal conditions including indigestion and acid reflux. Furthermore, the need for antacid treatments is being driven by the increase in gastrointestinal problems associated with ageing.

Based on end-use, the global magnesium carbonate market has been segmented into pharmaceutical, food & beverage, waterproofing, walls & panels, concrete, and others. The pharmaceutical segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022. The need for drugs and treatments is rising due to the rising incidence of age-related health problems and chronic illnesses as well as the expanding worldwide population.
