Magnesium Oxide Market Growth Accelerated by Increasing Usage in Refractories Sector
Magnesium oxide, also known as magnesia, is an inorganic compound used as a refractory material in various industries due to its high heat resistance. Magnesium oxide has high melting point and is non-combustible in nature. Its products such as calcined magnesia, dead burned magnesia and fused magnesia are used in basic refractory linings, monolithic refractories and special structural refractory materials. The global Magnesium Oxide Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 6.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights. Market key trends : The increasing usage of magnesium oxide in refractories accounts for nearly half of the global magnesium oxide consumption. Magnesium oxide is highly preferred as a refractory material in basic linings for steel, cement, lime, glass, non-ferrous and specialty metal furnaces due to its heat resistance property. It imparts f...
