Magnesium Sulfate Market is High Demand and is Expected to Drive the Growth Near Future

Pune, India, July 2019, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has Published a Cooked Research Report on the Global Magnesium Sulfate Market.

Market Highlights

The Magnesium Sulfate Market is projected to be valued at USD 1.7810 billion by the end of 2032 and expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period.

The demand for magnesium sulfate is increasing as a fertilizer in the agriculture industry as it is an essential nutrient for plant growth; it enhances food quality. It is a major source of magnesium, which in turn influences various metallic processes and reactions such as photophosphorylation (i.e., ATP formation in chloroplasts), photosynthetic carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation, protein synthesis, partitioning and utilization of photo-assimilates, generation of reactive oxygen species, and photooxidation in leaf tissues.

The medical application segment is expected to be the second major consumer of magnesium sulfate, due to the increasing use of magnesium sulfate for the treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Magnesium sulfate is an anticonvulsant drug recommended by the WHO as an effective, safe, and low-cost treatment for severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. With the increasing number of fatalities, the need for treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia is increasing, which is expected to boost the demand for magnesium sulfate in medical applications during the review period.  

However, the adverse effects associated with the use of drugs produced by using magnesium sulfate is expected to hamper the growth of the global market to an extent during the forecast period. Nevertheless, the healthy growth of the personal care industry is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the producers of magnesium sulfate during the review period.

Segment Analysis

The global magnesium sulfate market has been segmented on the basis of form, type, application, and region. Based on form, the global market has been segmented into crystal, powder, and granules. The crystal segment held the largest market share in 2018 and is expected to register the highest CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period. This is attributed to the growing use of the magnesium crystals in the agricultural, medical, and food and beverage industries.

Based on type, the market has been divided into heptahydrate (Epsom salt), anhydrous, monohydrate, and others. Among these, the heptahydrate segment held the largest market share in 2018 and is projected to register the highest CAGR of 5.82% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for this type of magnesium sulfate in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries is expected to be the prominent factor favoring the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

By application, the global magnesium sulfate market has been segmented into fertilizer, medical, food additive, industrial, chemical, and others. The fertilizer segment was the leading application segment of the global market in 2018 with a market value of over USD 286 million in 2018. Widespread use of the magnesium sulfate-based fertilizers in the agricultural applications to get high yields is expected to boost demand for the product during the forecast period.
