The global electrolytic manganese dioxide market size is expected to reach USD 2.55 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Technological breakthroughs in the industry coupled with the utilization of proficient batteries with long lifespans and high energy levels are predicted to play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the EMD market.
North America has been dominating the EMD market owing to a surge in production. In Central and South America, Colombia is anticipated to foresee steady progress in its EMD battery industry owing to the wide-ranging R&D activities in battery production.
To cater to the surging demand for electrolytic manganese dioxide in various sectors, companies have started enlarging their businesses through numerous strategies. In 2016, Xiangtan Electrochemical Scientific Ltd. captured a market share of 12.2% and was the first company to initiate domestic EMD production to substitute battery-grade EMD.
The electrolytic manganese dioxide market witnessed a new progressive trend known as Hydrometallurgic Process, which is an alternative route to extract manganese from low-grade manganese oxide ores. It has the ability to convert manganese oxides into pure and high-quality EMD and is further used in the production of lithium-ion and alkaline battery. This development is anticipated to surge the acceptance and demand for EMD in the forthcoming years.
