Magnesium carbonate minerals are witnessing an upsurge in demand, owing to their application in multiple end-use sectors such as pharmaceuticals & personal care and construction. Magnesium carbonate minerals are used to produce raw materials that serve as refractory materials for steel, metallurgy, and ceramic industries. End users such as the chemical industry also use magnesium carbonate minerals to produce raw materials for plastic, polymers, paints, and fertilizers. Magnesite, in meagre amounts, is also used as a gem and lapidary material. Moreover, there is an expected revamp in pharmaceutical and personal care industries, owing to the current Covid-19 pandemic, which, in turn, is anticipated to drive the magnesium carbonate minerals market in the near term. Refractory bricks & kilns and building & flooring materials are also paving way for robust sales. The global magnesium carbonate minerals market is expected to surpass US$ 689.0 Mn in 2022, and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period (2022-2030).
