In January 2023, the magnesium price stood at $10,084 per ton (FOB, Turkey), reducing by -8.2% against the previous month.

In Q1 2025, the North American Magnesium Sulphate market witnessed a mixed price trend, shaped by global supply fluctuations, trade policy uncertainty, and shifting downstream sector dynamics. The quarter opened with marginal price growth amid steady demand from the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries and tight feedstock Sulphuric Acid supply, driven by robust fertilizer demand.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Magnesium Chloride market in North America experienced fluctuating demand dynamics, primarily driven by the seasonal influence of winter and the gradual return of construction activity. In USA, January recorded price growth due to sustained de-icing needs and consistent demand from industrial consumers. However, by February, prices declined by approximately 3.5%, as buyers reduced procurement amid ample inventories and weaker-than-expected winter weather across key regions. Construction activities also remained subdued, delaying Magnesium Chloride consumption.

Low-cost clean primary production of magnesium metal is important for its use in many applications, from light-weight structural components to energy technologies. This work describes new experiments and cost and emissions analysis for a magnesium metal production process. The process combines molten salt electrolysis of MgO using MgF₂-CaF₂ electrolyte and a reactive liquid tin cathode, with gravity-driven multiple effect thermal system (G-METS) distillation to separate out the magnesium product, and re-use of the tin. Electrolysis experiments with carbon anodes showed current yield above 90%, while a yttria-stabilized zirconia solid oxide membrane (SOM) anode experiment showed 84% current yield. G-METS distillation is an important component of the envisioned process. It can potentially lower costs and energy use considerably compared with conventional magnesium distillation. Techno-economic analysis including detailed mass and energy balances shows that this electrolyte composition could lower costs by utilizing CaO, which is the primary impurity in MgO, as the Hall-Héroult process uses the sodium impurity in alumina. Analysis options include: raw material types (magnesite rock vs. brine or seawater), drying and calcining using electricity vs. natural gas, and carbon vs. SOM anode type. Using SOM inert anodes results in a cost premium around 10%–15%, mostly due to higher electrical energy usage resulting from membrane resistance, and reduces GHG emissions by approximately 1 kg CO₂/kg Mg product. Capital and operating cost estimates, and cradle to gate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis under several raw material and process technology scenarios, show comparable costs and emissions to those of aluminum production.

In the last five years, the light metal foundry industry has benefited from the trend towards lightweight construction in road vehicles. The aim of lightweight construction is to save fuel and thus improve the carbon footprint of vehicles, which is why car manufacturers are increasingly switching from ferroalloys to light metal alloys for their vehicles. In 2019 and 2020, the industry suffered from the slowing economy, the trade conflict between the USA and China and the coronavirus pandemic. This led to an average decline in industry sales of 0.2% per year between 2019 and 2024. In the current year, turnover is expected to fall by 1% to €7.3 billion due to the decline in production volumes in the mechanical engineering sector.The demand for light metal castings is fundamentally dependent on the development of downstream industries. The automotive and mechanical engineering industries therefore have a significant influence on industry development, as these are the two most important customer markets for light metal castings. The construction industry is also an important customer for industry players. The automotive industry is likely to grow in the current year, which will have a positive effect on demand for light metal castings. However, it will not be able to fully compensate for the general decline in production volumes or the slump in sales in the mechanical engineering and construction sectors. The prices for aluminium, magnesium and energy can also have an impact on the development of demand for industry products. If the cost of raw materials or energy rises, this is associated with an increase in the cost of materials and ancillary costs and therefore also in production costs. The price of aluminium is likely to rise slightly in the current year.By 2029, industry sales are expected to grow by an average of 0.9% per year, meaning that the industry is expected to generate €7.7 billion in 2029. The reason for this positive development is the continued increase in demand for lightweight components in road vehicle construction and other customer markets. However, hardly any new industry players are likely to enter the market due to consolidation. The number of employees in the industry is likely to increase again over the next five years, albeit at a low level.

Orchards in acid soils are at risk of magnesium (Mg) deficiency which negatively affects the plant growth, yield, and quality. However, the impacts of Mg supplementation on fruit yield, quality, and environmental and economic benefits have only been rarely addressed. We conducted 15 pomelo (Citrus grandis L.) orchard trials in South China to assess more efficient integrated nutrient management (INM) practices, including local farmer fertilization practices (FP; average application rate of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were 1,075 kg N ha−1, 826 kg P2O5 ha−1, and 948 kg K2O ha−1, respectively), optimum fertilization practice (OPT; average application rate of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were 550 kg N ha−1, 295 kg P2O5 ha−1, and 498 kg K2O ha−1, respectively) and optimum fertilization supplemented with Mg (OPT+Mg; average application rate of Mg was 196 kg MgO ha−1). The results showed that the yield, total soluble solid-to-titratable acidity ratio, and economic benefits under OPT practice were not significantly different from those of FP, while those of OPT+Mg were significantly higher than those of FP, by 8.76, 8.79, and 15.00%, respectively, while titratable acidity contents were significantly lower by 7.35%. In addition, compared with those from FP, the energy inputs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from OPT were 31.00 and 26.48% lower, and those from OPT+Mg were 26.71 and 23.40% lower, respectively. Compared with those of OPT, the marginal efficiency of energy, GHG emissions, and capital of Mg under OPT+Mg were reduced by 62.30, 44.19, and 21.07%, respectively. Overall, adopting OPT+Mg for pomelo production could further enhance yield, fruit quality, and economic benefits while reducing the environmental burdens.

Means marked with the same letter are not significantly different at p < 0.05 (Tukey’s Test).
