Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific Region to Hold Vanguard Position

The Asia Pacific is appraised to observe intensifying industrial financing, industrial automation, and industrial development have augmented this region's standing. The Asia Pacific had the principal region in terms of value in 2016 and is expected to develop with a CAGR of 5.64% throughout the evaluated period. China is the foremost national market holding a market value of USD 1691.2 million. The occurrence of chief agrarian economies in the regional market is driving the requirement for magnesium oxide suppliers. Furthermore, the increasing industrialization has further boosted the need for refractory materials, particularly in the iron & steel industry, thus increasing the magnesium oxide industry's growth in the region.

North American Region to Consolidate Global Market Standing

The North American regional market is estimated to be the subsequent prime market in the forecast years. The North American magnesium oxide purchase will lead to an acquisition of 15% of the global share, intensifying at a CAGR of 4.40%. The U.S. national market was the most encouraging in the region and has produced the top income of USD 618.2 million while mounting at 4.40% CAGR in the forecast period. The North American magnesium oxide market is projected to extend to a value of USD 813.2 million and a share of 1734.9 kilotons by 2023. Canada and U.S. are the key nations accrediting this development. The Canadian national market is estimated to grow at the peak CAGR of 4.80% in the coming period. The intensifying requirement for refractory material in the advanced steel, glass, and ceramic industry is chiefly backing the magnesium oxide market's development in this region.

Recent Developments

Nov 2020 A blend product comprising potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and sodium sulfate has received FDA sanction. This osmotic laxative is specified for flushing the colon in an arrangement for a colonoscopy in grownups. A low-residue breakfast may be eaten when taking this therapy, but only clear liquids can be utilized until after the colonoscopy.

Apr 2020 Mag One Products Inc has declared that its Quebec-based holding, Mag One Operations, has clinched a Contribution Agreement with the GCanada'srnment of Cagh Natural Resources Canada under its Clean Growth Program (CGP). The contract appeals for the subsidiary to obtain from CGP up to C$1,666,500 in non-repayable backing for its Front-End Engineering Design report for a high purity magnesium oxide demo plant through serpentinite tailings from former Quebec mining operations.

June 2020 Academics at the University of Minnesota are reviewing whether magnesium can make a modification in high-risk patients. Primary data shows that COVID-19 creates ion channels, thus altering the working of the infected human cells. Magnesium has a deep influence as it blocks the viral ion channel in the body while defending against oxidation. Oxidation is another recognized reason for irregular cardiovascular function.
