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, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period 2024-2030. This steady growth trajectory reflects the compound’s expanding applications across environmental protection, flame retardancy, and pharmaceutical sectors, driven by stringent regulations favoring sustainable alternatives.
Magnesium Hydroxide Slurry, an aqueous suspension known for its high pH stability and low solubility, has become indispensable in industrial wastewater treatment and FGD (flue gas desulfurization) systems. Its non-toxic nature and ability to neutralize acids effectively position it as a preferred choice over traditional chemicals like lime slurry, particularly in regions with strict environmental compliance requirements.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
North America currently leads consumption with 38% market share, where the U.S. EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) have accelerated adoption in coal-fired power plants. The region’s market value reached US$ 156 million in 2024, projected to grow at 4.6% CAGR through 2030.
Europe follows closely, with Germany and the UK driving demand through REACH regulations and circular economy initiatives. Asia-Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing market (6.2% CAGR), where China’s “Blue Sky” initiative and India’s push for cleaner industrial processes are creating new opportunities. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern countries are increasingly adopting magnesium hydroxide slurry for oilfield wastewater treatment.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The shift toward halogen-free flame retardants represents the single largest growth driver, with magnesium hydroxide slurry capturing 28% of this segment globally. The construction industry’s emphasis on safer building materials has boosted demand in PVC cables, roofing membranes, and synthetic rubber applications.
Emerging opportunities include novel pharmaceutical applications as an antacid active ingredient and its use in biogas purification systems. The development of nano-sized magnesium hydroxide slurries offers enhanced performance in specialized coatings, while stricter marine discharge regulations present untapped potential in ship scrubber systems.
Challenges & Restraints
Price volatility of magnesium ore (brucite) remains a persistent challenge, with 2023 seeing 17% price fluctuations. Transportation costs account for 20-25% of total product costs due to the slurry’s water content, limiting long-distance shipments. Furthermore, competition from aluminum hydroxide in flame retardant applications and calcium-based alternatives in wastewater treatment continues to pressure margins.
