The global magnesium chloride market size is expected to reach USD 680 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Magnesium chloride is widely accepted as a de-icing agent due to its effectiveness in melting ice and snow. The product demand from geographies with cold climates for de-icing applications is a significant driver of the market growth. Magnesium chloride is highly effective in melting ice and snow. When applied to icy surfaces, it lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt and preventing further ice formation. This property makes it a preferred choice for de-icing applications in cold climates. It has a lower freezing point compared to other deicing agents like rock salt (sodium chloride) and remains effective at lower temperatures, making it suitable for use in extremely cold regions.
Geographies with cold climates, such as regions in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia Pacific, have a higher demand for de-icing agents. The need to maintain safe transportation routes, prevent accidents, and ensure smooth operations during winter drives the product demand in these regions. However, stringent environmental regulations can pose challenges for the product market as these regulations may require the development and use of alternative de-icing agents that have a lower environmental impact. As a result of these regulations, there is a growing demand for alternative products, such as calcium magnesium acetate (CMA), potassium acetate, and beet juice-based de-icers. These alternatives are often biodegradable and less harmful to the environment.
