Market CAGR for magnesium metal is widely used in the manufacturing of metals, especially aluminum alloys, as it adds moderate and high strength characteristics without affecting their ductility. Aluminum alloys that contain magnesium belong to the 5000 series and are available commercially in the form of plates and sheets. These alloys find significant applications in industries such as aerospace parts manufacturing, automotive component manufacturing, industrial components, machinery and tools, and more. The increasing demand for electric vehicles is expected to further drive the demand for aluminum alloys. The trend of lightweight component manufacturing is also fueling the use of magnesium in various applications.
Furthermore, Magnesium is known for its lightweight, high strength, and excellent machinability, making it a popular material for automotive parts such as steering wheels, seat frames, and engine blocks. The use of magnesium in automotive manufacturing has increased over the years, as car manufacturers seek to reduce the weight of their vehicles to improve fuel efficiency and meet environmental regulations.
For instance, The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) has been conducting research and development to improve the use of magnesium in the automotive industry. The VTO released a report in 2015 titled "Multi-Material Lightweight Vehicle Concept" which highlighted the benefits of using magnesium in automotive manufacturing, such as weight reduction and improved fuel efficiency.. Thus, driving the Magnesium Metal market revenue.
The Magnesium Metal market segmentation, based on Manufacturing Process includes Thermal Reduction Process, Electrolytic Process, and Recycling. The electrolytic process segment dominated the market, accounting for electrolytic process 35% of market revenue. The process produces high-purity magnesium metal with low levels of impurities, which is essential for many industrial applications.
The Magnesium Metal market segmentation, based on Products, includes Pure Magnesium, Magnesium Compounds, and Magnesium Alloys. The Magnesium alloys category generated the most income. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which means they are strong for their weight. This makes them ideal for applications where strength is critical, such as in the construction of aircraft and high-performance racing cars.
