Magnesium Nitrate Hexahydrate Market to Grow at 4.1% CAGR, Reaching USD 1,152 Million by 2033 on Back of Fertilizer and Petrochemical Demand

The global magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO₃)₂·6H₂O) market is experiencing steady growth and is projected to expand significantly in the coming years. Valued at USD 770.8 million in 2023, the market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.1%, reaching approximately USD 1,152 million by the end of 2033, according to Fact.MR.
Rising Demand in Agriculture and Petrochemicals
Magnesium nitrate hexahydrate, a white crystalline salt, is known for its solubility in water, methanol, and alcohol, making it highly effective as a stabilizer and catalyst. One of its most prominent applications is in the fertilizer industry, where it serves as a dual source of magnesium and nitrogen—two essential nutrients for plant development. With increasing global food demand, the use of magnesium-based fertilizers has risen significantly to promote photosynthesis, sugar synthesis, starch formation, and nitrogen fixation.
In addition to agriculture, magnesium nitrate hexahydrate finds crucial applications in the petrochemical industry, where it acts as a stabilizing agent in complex chemical reactions. Growing investments and expansion in petrochemical production, especially in the U.S. and China, are expected to boost the market further.

Market Dynamics
Short-Term Outlook (2023–2026): The majority of magnesium nitrate hexahydrate consumption comes from fertilizer applications. As global agricultural output increases, the demand for nitrogen-rich, magnesium-containing fertilizers continues to soar.
Medium-Term Outlook (2026–2029): The market is projected to grow with the rising use of magnesium nitrate in the manufacture of explosives, especially for defense and mining sectors.
Long-Term Outlook (2029–2033): Ongoing R&D, technological innovations, and expansion in application areas such as concrete admixtures and specialty chemicals are expected to create long-term opportunities.
Regional Insights
North America, holding a 25.1% share in 2023, remains a prominent market. The United States, in particular, is a major consumer due to its thriving petrochemical and defense industries. The U.S. market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.4%, driven by increasing exports of petrochemicals and rising military expenditure involving explosive manufacturing.
In India, rapid infrastructure development is leading to higher consumption of magnesium nitrate in concrete admixtures. Additionally, India’s strong agricultural base and growing fertilizer needs position it as one of the fastest-growing markets, outpacing global averages. Support from the Indian government toward sustainable farming and modern irrigation practices further fuels this trend.
Asia Pacific, led by China, also shows immense promise with its expanding industrial base and investments in chemical and construction sectors. China's dominance in global fertilizer production enhances its strategic importance in this market.
Challenges and Restraints
Despite promising growth, the magnesium nitrate hexahydrate market faces challenges due to environmental regulations. For example, its use in fireworks as a coloring and oxidizing agent has declined due to increasing bans. In India, the Supreme Court banned fireworks during Diwali in 2022, citing pollution concerns—leading to a dip in demand for this application.
Additionally, stringent handling regulations, as magnesium nitrate is an oxidizer, might restrict its adoption in certain regions.
Application Insights
The product is extensively used across several applications:
- Fertilizers (primary contributor to demand)
- Concrete admixtures (increasing demand in construction)
- Explosives manufacturing (notably in defense sectors)
- Catalysts & chemical intermediates
- Additives in food, feed, and specialty chemicals
The synthetic process is the dominant method for production, using magnesium oxide or carbonate reacted with nitric acid.
