Magnesium Metals Canada 1190 USD/MT
Magnesium Metals China 2360 USD/MT
Magnesium Metals Japan 2540 USD/MT
Magnesium Metals France 3010 USD/MT
Magnesium Metals Thailand 1810 USD/MT


During the last quarter of 2024, the magnesium prices in Canada reached 1190 USD/MT in December. The arrival of winter in Canada, particularly in the northern provinces, sparked an increase in demand for magnesium chloride, which is utilized as a de-icing agent for road and infrastructure maintenance. Besides, disruptions in freight transportation, particularly in North America, affected the market and contributed to price volatility. 

During the last quarter of 2024, the magnesium prices in China reached 2360 USD/MT in December. As per the magnesium price chart, disruptions to logistics, particularly from typhoons impacting ports, and a decrease in demand, especially from the construction and personal care sectors, contributed to price declines. However, some sectors like agrochemicals and automotive saw increased demand, which partially offset the overall downward trend. 

During the last quarter of 2024, the magnesium prices in Japan reached 2540 USD/MT in December. Downstream demand in key sectors like construction and pharmaceuticals was weak, contributing to the price declines. While the market showed some resilience, overall, the trends pointed towards a challenging period for magnesium prices in the APAC region, including Japan. 

During the last quarter of 2024, the magnesium prices in France reached 3010 USD/MT in December. Global economic uncertainties and weakened demand in some downstream industries put pressure on magnesium prices. Moreover, fluctuations in the availability and cost of key raw materials like magnesite and dolomite, sources of magnesium, also played a role. 

During the last quarter of 2024, the magnesium prices in Thailand reached 1810 USD/MT in December. Magnesium consumption in the region fell due to factors such as global economic uncertainty, supply chain interruptions, and lower industrial activity in important industries, such as construction and pharmaceuticals.

Europe Magnesium Price Trend

Q4 2024:

As per the magnesium price index, the start of winter in Q4 2024 raised demand for magnesium chloride, a substance used as a de-icing agent. Besides, the rising cost of energy significantly impacted production costs for magnesium manufacturers, offsetting the seasonal demand boost. Magnesium usage and prices decreased as a result of sluggish demand in a number of industries, including food, cosmetics, and medicines. Apart from this, stockpiling and export activity, along with rising feedstock costs, also influenced prices. 

In the European region, the market faced more challenges in maintaining its pace. The demand remained weak across the board, particularly affecting industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, which contributed to a general downward trend in prices. The supply market conditions also did not provide much support, resulting in a sluggish price movement. Despite sporadic increases, the overall market scenario remained subdued, reflecting a weak market trend throughout the duration. The European market’s struggles were more pronounced compared to its Asian counterpart, highlighting regional differences in market resilience and demand.

North America Magnesium Price Trend

Q4 2024:

The automotive industry, which is a significant consumer of magnesium alloys, saw a drop in demand as a result of more general economic issues including rising interest rates. The construction industry, on the other hand, had greater resilience, suggesting a persistent need for goods associated with construction. Besides, freight transportation, particularly during the fourth quarter, faced mixed results, further complicating supply chains and contributing to price volatility. 

In North America, magnesium prices were significantly affected by the market trends of Asia. The region witnessed fluctuating prices during the period, driven by a mix of varying downstream and upstream market behaviors. Fourth-quarter freight disruptions notably impacted the market, slowing down the projected growth and causing further instability. While the market experienced some growth constraints due to these logistical issues, the overall trend was characterized by volatility. The American magnesium market, reflecting a mixture of external influences and internal market conditions, displayed an inconsistent pricing pattern through the end of the year.

Asia Pacific Magnesium Price Trend

Q4 2024:

Typhoons in the region caused delays and raised freight costs, especially for magnesium sulfate and powder, by interfering with shipping operations. The market was further constrained by a shortage of feed stearic acid, a crucial component in the manufacturing of magnesium powder. The Chinese yuan's decline in value relative to the US dollar raised import prices, which affected traders' availability and profit margins. Price increases were caused by the initial demand for magnesium chloride as a de-icing agent and in infrastructure projects in the construction industry, particularly in China and India.

Magnesium prices in Asia experienced fluctuations as the market witnessed a mismatch amongst the rising upstream prices, driven by higher crude oil and magnesium oxide prices, and the modest end user demand. The situation persisted into the final quarter, with little change in demand, leading to a stable price range despite inventory adjustments held occasionally. Market stability was somewhat disrupted by freight issues, yet these disruptions were not enough to significantly alter the overall market dynamics. Consequently, despite some ups and downs in consumption and supply, the Asian magnesium market maintained a relatively steady performance.
