The global Magnesium Hydroxide for Water Treatment Market is gaining significant traction, valued at USD 355 million in 2023 with projections indicating growth to USD 527.56 million by 2032, at a steady CAGR of 4.50%. This growth is propelled by increasing awareness of sustainable water treatment solutions and tightening environmental regulations worldwide. Magnesium hydroxide’s ability to neutralize acidic wastewater while simultaneously removing heavy metals makes it an indispensable chemical in industrial and municipal applications.
Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) serves as a safer alternative to traditional alkaline agents like caustic soda, offering superior pH control without the risks associated with handling strong bases. Its adoption is accelerating as industries prioritize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance, particularly in sectors generating acidic effluents such as mining, chemical manufacturing, and power generation.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
North America currently leads market adoption, accounting for USD 99.78 million in 2023, driven by stringent EPA wastewater discharge standards and advanced industrial wastewater infrastructure. The region’s CAGR of 3.86% reflects steady demand from mining operations and municipal treatment plants upgrading their systems.
Asia-Pacific shows the most dynamic growth prospects, with China’s industrial boom creating unprecedented wastewater treatment needs. Japan’s advanced water tech sector and India’s rapid urbanization further contribute to regional dominance. Europe follows closely, where the EU Water Framework Directive mandates strict heavy metal removal, favoring magnesium hydroxide’s precipitation capabilities.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The shift toward green chemistry in water treatment stands as the primary market driver, with magnesium hydroxide reducing sludge volumes by up to 50% compared to lime treatment. Industrial applications generate 65% of current demand, particularly in:
- Acid mine drainage treatment
- Flue gas desulfurization
- Industrial wastewater neutralization
Emerging opportunities include:
- Development of nanoparticle Mg(OH)₂ for enhanced heavy metal adsorption
- Integration with membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems
