Manganese is a brittle silvery white metal found in combination with iron. The physical and chemical properties of manganese are similar to that of iron. However, manganese is more brittle and harder. Around 90% of the available manganese is used for steel production. Manganese is vital for the growth of plants and integration of nitrates in algae and green plants. However, excessive intake of manganese in animals and plant is detrimental for their growth.
The industry is expected to witness significant growth in the near future, owing to surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, increase in investments for infrastructure development projects, increase in automobile production, and rapid urbanization in emerging economies drive the market growth. The other supplementing factors of the manganese market are recovery in prices of both manganese ore and manganese ferroalloy, and emergence of new application markets. However, slowdown in steel consumption is expected to hamper the market growth.
The global manganese market is segmented based on application, metallurgical application, end-user industry, and geography. Based on application, the market is divided into alloys and others. Based on metallurgical application, the market is categorized into high-carbon ferromanganese, refined ferromanganese, and silicomanganese.
