The global magnesium metal market is set for robust expansion through 2035, fueled by surging demand for lightweight materials in electric vehicles (EVs), aerospace structures, and consumer electronics. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 5.89 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 10.0 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%.
The FMI report, “Magnesium Metal Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” indicates global revenues will grow by USD 4.11 billion over the decade, driven by alloy advancements, corrosion-resistant coatings, and strategic shifts to diversify supply chains beyond China-dominated production.
A Decade of Growth Anchored by Alloy Innovation and EV Lightweighting:
Magnesium’s density—75% lower than steel and 33% lower than aluminum—positions it as the lightest structural metal, enabling weight reductions critical for EV range extension and aerospace efficiency. Between 2025 and 2030, the market will expand by USD 1.8 billion, led by automotive battery housings and die-cast components.
Between 2030 and 2035, FMI forecasts an additional USD 2.31 billion in growth, reflecting broader adoption in satellite structures, thin-walled electronics enclosures, and marine applications supported by improved corrosion resistance.
“Magnesium alloys are redefining lightweighting strategies in mobility and electronics,” said Nikhil Kaitwade, Lead Analyst at FMI. “As OEMs prioritize energy efficiency and thermal management, demand for high-strength, machinable magnesium will outpace traditional metals.”
