Industry Overview
Magnesium chloride is an inorganic compound composed of magnesium and chlorine that occurs naturally in seawater, natural brines, evaporite deposits, and minerals such as bischofite and carnallite. It is available in both anhydrous and hydrated forms, with magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2.6H2O) containing six molecules of water. Historically, the compound was identified in volcanic environments around Mount Vesuvius during the nineteenth century through the work of researchers including T. Monticelli, N. Covelli, L. Pilla, A. Secchi, and F. Zambonini.
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is typically supplied as white flakes or powder and is highly hygroscopic, requiring storage in tightly sealed, airtight containers. Under recommended storage conditions, it remains stable and has a shelf life of up to five years.
The compound is widely used in analytical chemistry, biochemical assays, pharmaceutical applications, buffer preparation, chemical synthesis, mineral supplements, water purification, textile processing, magnesium oxychloride cement production, food processing as a firming agent and tofu coagulant, and as a precursor for magnesium oxide and other magnesium salts. Its versatility also supports applications across metallurgy, construction materials, transportation, and the chemical industry.
The report highlights favorable market prospects driven by growing industrial demand. It notes India's expanding economy and increasing domestic investment as supportive factors for future consumption. According to the report, the global Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate Flakes market was valued at 234 million in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 267.4 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 1.9%.
