The magnesium chloride market is projected to grow from USD 737.9 million in 2025 to USD 1,225.1 million by 2035, at a CAGR of 5.2%.

NEWARK, DE, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global magnesium chloride market is entering a decade of accelerated expansion, rising from USD 737.9 million in 2025 to USD 1,225.1 million by 2035, propelled by a steady 5.2% CAGR, according to the latest industry outlook. The strong momentum reflects the convergence of winter maintenance modernization, industrial chemical demand, dust-control adoption, and construction material innovation across key regions — particularly the USA, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, and Saudi Arabia.

Magnesium chloride continues to strengthen its position as a versatile, environmentally responsible solution across de-icing, industrial processing, brine management, construction chemistry, and road dust-control systems.

De-icing and Winter Maintenance Lead Global Demand Growth

De-icing applications remain the single largest demand catalyst, accounting for 20.2% of the market, driven by the global shift toward lower-corrosion, climate-compliant road treatment systems. Municipalities in snow-belt regions — especially the USA, Canada, Germany, the Nordics, and high-altitude Asia-Pacific corridors — increasingly rely on magnesium chloride for longer-lasting ice-melting performance at lower temperatures.

Liquid brines and pre-wet systems are gaining traction, particularly across North America and Europe, where precision application, reduced material waste, and lower environmental impact are prioritized.

Solid Magnesium Chloride Dominates With 65.1% Market Share

Solid magnesium chloride retains the dominant share of 65.1%, favored for its:

- Long storage stability
- High transport efficiency
- Compatibility with municipal spreading equipment
- Reliable performance in winter road safety programs

Within the solid category:

- Flakes lead at 28%, supported by heavy-duty highway use
- Pellets/prills account for ~22%, benefiting from low dust, ease of handling
- Granules/powders hold ~11%, primarily for industrial chemical formulations

Meanwhile, the liquid magnesium chloride segment continues to rise, driven by airport anti-icing systems, state DOT brine programs, and automated maintenance equipment.

Regional Dynamics: USA Leads; APAC and Europe Show Strong Industrial Growth; Saudi Arabia Emerges

USA (6.3% CAGR) — Global Growth Leader

The United States remains the fastest-growing market globally, underpinned by:
