The Manganese Market size was valued at USD 22.1 billion in 2021. The manganese industry is projected to grow from USD 23.21 billion in 2022 to USD 32.70 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.02% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030).
In the recent past, automotive industry has observed advancements in technology, and also in production. Manganese is an important part of the automotive sector, as it is used for the manufacturing of steel, which in turn is utilized in the manufacturing of chassis as well as body structure. Manganese helps increase the strength and the flexibility of steel. As per reports, the overall total motor vehicle production has surged by 2.36% from 2016 to 2017, manufacturing almost 97,302,534 vehicles in the time period.
Within the infrastructure sector, steel is used for constructing tunnels, bridges, ports, rail tracks, airports and railway stations. In the wake of increasing infrastructural investments by governments of developing economies like India, Brazil and China, the demand for manganese has been noted to increase at a high rate. This factor is projected to be a major driving force behind the strong growth of the Manganese Market in the coming years.
Moreover, the construction sector is presumed to be the strongest contender amongst all the end-users in the global Manganese Market, with the fastest growth rate. Almost 50% of the worlds produced steel is utilized in the construction sector for numerous applications in energy generation, buildings, and transportation. In addition, speedy urbanization across the globe has elevated the need for new residential construction, buildings, railways and roads. In the construction sector, steel has widespread use on accounts of its easy availability, affordability, and a variety of properties like versatility, durability and strength. Moreover, steel (consisting of manganese) is used in bridges, offshore oilrigs, construction machines, civil engineering, power plants, hydroelectric plants and pressure vessels. Thus, with the high growth in the construction sector, the demand for manganese is predicted to surge at a striking rate. This will most likely create ample opportunities for the market growth in the near future.
MRFRs report includes a thorough segmental analysis of the market based on type, and application.
The Manganese Market Vendor Strategies, based on the type, is segmented into high carbon ferromanganese, medium carbon ferromanganese, low carbon ferromanganese, silico-manganese, electrolytic manganese metal, and electrolytic manganese dioxide. Out of these, in the global market, silico-manganese held the largest share in 2018, and is poised to retain its dominant position during the review period.. As silico-manganese is used in the production of steel and other alloys, its demand is set to rise in the future with the expanding construction industry and its increasing applications in it. On the other hand, the high carbon ferromanganese segment showed lucrative growth with the second-largest share of the global market in 2018, at the value of USD 5,759.5 million. The segment is projected to surge at a CAGR of 4.52% from 2018 to 2023.
The application-based segments in the global Manganese Market are alloying additives, depolarizer, oxidizing agent, coloring agent, and others. Among these, alloying additives ruled the global market with the largest share of more than 85% in 2018, and is set to retain its lucrative growth rate throughout the forecast period with the value share of more than 90% by 2023. In aluminum alloys, adding manganese helps in augmenting its resistance against corrosion. Also, in copper alloys, adding even a small amount of manganese aids in deoxidizing the alloy, in addition to improving its mechanical strength as well as castability. Thus, the rising demand for steel will be the driving factor for the increasing demand for alloying additives in the review period. Whereas, the oxidizing agent segment held the second position in the global market with the second-largest share in 2018 at the value of USD 1,042.7 million. Furthermore, the segment is exhibited to surge at a CAGR of 4.29% from 2018 to 2023.
