30 October 2026 – Market Krystal has published its Magnesium Chloride market report, covering demand, supply, the value chain and market size, with a forecast for 2026–2035 and scenarios to 2047.
Magnesium chloride is a hygroscopic salt sold as brine, flakes and pellets for road dust suppression, de-icing, magnesium metal, building materials and food and pharma grades. On unpaved roads, mine haul roads and construction sites it holds moisture in the surface and binds fines. Supply comes from evaporated lake and sea bitterns, potash residues and deep solution-mined bischofite.
Key findings
Demand
De-icing is the largest application (Credence Research), with dust control second; Asia Pacific is the largest region at about 40% (Credence Research).
Supply
Compass Minerals, ICL, K+S, Nedmag, Qinghai Salt Lake and Chinese bittern producers lead supply.
Value chain
Salt-lake and seawater bittern + Bischofite deposits + Carnallite and potash residues → magnesium chloride → Road de-icing and anti-icing, Dust suppression on unpaved roads, haul roads and sites, Magnesium metal and magnesia production
