Magnesium Compounds and Chemicals
Magnesium Compounds and Chemicals: Global industry markets and outlook, 2010
China accounts for around two thirds of world production of refractory grade magnesia and has been a major supplier to the rest of the world. Over the past ten years, however, exports have declined by 5%py as domestic demand has increased and stringent export controls have been introduced. The main factor behind the growth in Chinese refractory production capacity has been demand from local steel mills, but exports of refractory bricks have also grown by 20%py since 2000.
Environmental applications for CCM and magnesium hydroxide are now the main growth drivers for magnesium compounds in developed economies, especially in water and effluent treatment. A potential emerging market for CCM is in high pressure acid leaching of nickel from lateritic ores.
The downturn in the global economy in 2008/9 has delayed investment in some of the projects to expand magnesite production outside China, but it is anticipated that, as the economy recovers, significant new DBM, FM and CCM capacity will come on stream in Australia, Brazil, Russia and Turkey.
