Magnesium Carbonate Market - By Application 

The filler application segment dominated the Magnesium Carbonate Market in 2021. This inorganic solid comes in various forms in the market such as anhydrous salt magnesite and barringtonite and find its use in a wide range of applications. Magnesium carbonate is utilized as a filler material in neoprene rubberas a paste made with hydrogen peroxide for use in skulls, drug formulation, cosmetics, printing inks, paper, and several other applications. The demand for magnesium carbonate as the filler material is gaining traction and is projected to move upward during the forecast period. For instance, as per the February 2019 journal by the American Chemical Society (ACS), a study was conducted about the application of micrometer-sized mesoporous magnesium carbonate as filler material for the formulation of cosmetic powder. The journal states magnesium carbonate exhibits interesting properties as a filler substance in cosmetics with UV screens. Such increasing use of magnesium carbonate as filler material will increase the higher requirement of magnesium carbonate, in turn driving the market’s growth during the forecast period. 

Magnesium Carbonate Market - By End Use Industry 

The personal care and cosmetics industry dominated the Magnesium Carbonate Market in 2021 and is growing at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Magnesium carbonate finds its extensive uses in the formulation of several personal care and cosmetic products such as talcum powders, hair bleach, shaving products, dry shampoo, face creams, and multiple other products. The personal care and cosmetics sector is displaying robust growth globally with increasing production and consumption of personal care products and this is expected to further propel the market’s growth during the forecast period.
