The global Magnesium Hydroxide Slurry market size was valued at US$ 567 million in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 765 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. This growth trajectory reflects increasing adoption across environmental protection, flame retardancy, and pharmaceutical applications worldwide. As industries shift toward sustainable chemical solutions, magnesium hydroxide slurry has emerged as a versatile alternative to traditional alkali neutralizers and flame retardants.
Magnesium hydroxide slurry, an aqueous suspension of magnesium hydroxide particles, offers significant advantages including non-toxicity, high thermal stability, and excellent acid-neutralizing capacity. Its extensive use in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems in power plants and wastewater treatment facilities continues to drive market expansion, particularly in regions with stringent environmental regulations.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
North America currently leads the magnesium hydroxide slurry market, holding approximately 35% of global revenue share, fueled by strict EPA regulations on industrial emissions and widespread adoption in shale gas wastewater treatment. The United States market alone is projected to grow from US$ 156 million in 2024 to US$ 204 million by 2030, with the oil & gas sector accounting for nearly 40% of regional consumption.
Europe follows closely, with Germany and the UK driving demand through innovation in halogen-free flame retardant formulations for the automotive and construction industries. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific registers the fastest growth, where China’s aggressive pollution control policies and expanding pharmaceutical sector create robust demand. Developing economies in Latin America and Africa show emerging potential, though infrastructure limitations currently constrain market penetration.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The transition toward environmentally friendly industrial chemicals remains the primary growth driver, with magnesium hydroxide slurry replacing caustic soda and lime in many applications. In flame retardancy, it’s gaining preference over aluminum trihydrate for its superior thermal performance and smoke suppression properties, particularly in wire & cable applications. The environmental protection sector accounts for 48% of total consumption, followed by flame retardants (35%) and pharmaceuticals (12%).
Emerging opportunities include novel applications in battery manufacturing as a fire suppressant additive and in agricultural pH regulation. The development of high-concentration slurries (>50% solid content) creates potential for cost reduction in transportation and storage. Additionally, increasing investment in wastewater treatment infrastructure across Southeast Asia presents promising growth avenues for market players.
Challenges & Restraints
Despite strong growth prospects, the market faces notable challenges. Price volatility of magnesium ore influences raw material costs, while the energy-intensive production process impacts profit margins. Competition from alternative flame retardants like aluminum hydroxide and emerging nano-materials presents adoption barriers in some applications.
