The Magnesium Hydroxide Market was valued at USD 1.35 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 2.06 billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 7.30%. The market is propelled by a robust set of production- and application-side drivers. Government-led industrial diversification policies and incentives further attract investments into large-scale, sustainable salt manufacturing projects. Technological innovation, including advanced membrane separation and automation, enhances purity, reduces environmental impact, and improves cost efficiency.

The industrial grade segment dominated the market, as it plays an important role in the chemical sector, particularly for the chlor-alkali process used in manufacturing chlorine and caustic soda. This demand was bolstered by the growth of petrochemical hubs in regions like the Middle East and Asia, where industrial diversification plans and low-cost energy made salt-based chemical production more viable. Additionally, industrial-grade salt saw consistent consumption from water treatment plants, textile processing, and metallurgical operations.

In water treatment, magnesium hydroxide serves as an alkalinity booster and sludge conditioner, neutralizing acidic streams in industrial effluents, this makes it a good option for long-term wastewater treatment projects. Additional benefits which make magnesium hydroxide more attractive to end users are its buffering ability which provides the added benefit of excellent pH control, and its handling properties. Unlike caustic soda, magnesium hydroxide is non-hazardous and non-corrosive when used properly which makes handling safer and easier.

The Asia-Pacific region leads the magnesium hydroxide industry, driven by the rise in demand in its uses as an antacid and laxative in over-the-counter medicines. With the expansion of global healthcare infrastructure and increasing consumer awareness of gastrointestinal health, the pharmaceutical demand for magnesium hydroxide is also rising.

Magnesium Hydroxide Market Report Highlights:

  • The industrial-grade magnesium hydroxide dominated the market with a revenue share of 76.3% in 2024, during the forecast period. Magnesium hydroxide underscoring its entrenched role in critical environmental and industrial processes. This dominance is a direct outcome of tightening global environmental regulations and the growing urgency around sustainable industrial practices. The flame-retardants segment in industrial grade is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period.
  • Asia-Pacific is the dominant region for the magnesium hydroxide market and is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.0% from 2025-2030. This growth is attributed to robust economic growth in China and Southeast Asia, rapid urbanization, and chemical processing & wastewater treatment plant expansion.
  • In September 2023, Nedmag launched “Veendammer,” a magnesium-enriched, reduced-salt cheese in collaboration with cheese farmer Slob. Marketed under the Pure Health & Earth brand, it offers 120 mg of magnesium per 100g, promoting heart and muscle health while lowering sodium intake making a key addition in food grade application.
