Magnesium Investment Chart Overview
Explore world primary magnesium production and capacity, magnesite production and reserves, U.S. metal and compound supply, import sources, trade and prices using official USGS data.
USGS Primary Magnesium Production and Capacity by Country
USGS Primary Magnesium Production and Capacity by Country. Primary magnesium is newly smelted metal, unlike recycled secondary metal. The bars compare country output and yearend smelter capacity. World total and the non-country residual are omitted from the ranking so individual producers remain readable; USGS estimates remain marked as estimates.

Primary production
Smelter capacity
- Primary magnesium is newly smelted metal, unlike recycled secondary metal. The bars compare country output and yearend smelter capacity.
- World total and the non-country residual are omitted from the ranking so individual producers remain readable; USGS estimates remain marked as estimates.
USGS Magnesite Production and Reserves by Country
USGS Magnesite Production and Reserves by Country. Magnesite is an ore used to make magnesium compounds and some metal feedstocks. Production and reserves are reported as gross ore weight, not contained magnesium. Production and reserves use separate panels because their scales differ greatly. World total and the non-country residual are excluded from country comparisons. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset
Magnesite mine production
Magnesite reserves
- Magnesite is an ore used to make magnesium compounds and some metal feedstocks. Production and reserves are reported as gross ore weight, not contained magnesium.
- Production and reserves use separate panels because their scales differ greatly. World total and the non-country residual are excluded from country comparisons.
USGS World Primary Magnesium Production and Capacity Outlook
USGS World Primary Magnesium Production and Capacity Outlook. The production line contains revised world observations, while the capacity line is the WMO outlook. Capacity is potential annual output, not a demand forecast. Forecast years are kept distinct from observations, and missing production or capacity values are not interpolated.

USGS U.S. Magnesium Metal Supply History
USGS U.S. Magnesium Metal Supply History. This long-run view separates primary metal, recycled secondary metal, trade and apparent consumption. Apparent consumption is the USGS supply measure, not a survey of end-user demand. DS140 history is extended only with compatible MCS observations; withheld and unavailable values remain gaps.

USGS U.S. Magnesium Metal Price History
USGS U.S. Magnesium Metal Price History. Price bases are separated by unit: long-run unit values and European quotations are per metric ton, while the U.S. spot price is per pound. The real 1998 series is inflation-adjusted by the source; net import reliance is a supply-dependence percentage and not a price.

Net import reliance
- Price bases are separated by unit: long-run unit values and European quotations are per metric ton, while the U.S. spot price is per pound.
- The real 1998 series is inflation-adjusted by the source; net import reliance is a supply-dependence percentage and not a price.
USGS U.S. Magnesium Compounds Supply History
USGS U.S. Magnesium Compounds Supply History. Magnesium compounds are shown in MgO-equivalent metric tons, so they must not be added to magnesium metal tonnage. Production, trade and apparent consumption share that stated basis. Net import reliance is displayed separately because it is a percentage; missing historical fields remain unfilled.

MgO-equivalent supply
Net import reliance
- Magnesium compounds are shown in MgO-equivalent metric tons, so they must not be added to magnesium metal tonnage. Production, trade and apparent consumption share that stated basis.
- Net import reliance is displayed separately because it is a percentage; missing historical fields remain unfilled.
USGS U.S. Magnesium Compounds Price History
USGS U.S. Magnesium Compounds Price History. The nominal series shows reported unit value at the time, while the real series restates it in constant 1998 dollars for long-run comparison. These compound prices are per metric ton and are not comparable without conversion to metal prices quoted per pound. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset
Nominal unit value
- The nominal series shows reported unit value at the time, while the real series restates it in constant 1998 dollars for long-run comparison.
- These compound prices are per metric ton and are not comparable without conversion to metal prices quoted per pound.
USGS U.S. Magnesium Import Sources
USGS U.S. Magnesium Import Sources. The bars show USGS average import-source shares for 2021–24. Metal and compound supply chains are separate 100-percent groups and are not combined. A missing country-product cell means the source did not assign a share; it is not treated as zero or redistributed. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

- The bars show USGS average import-source shares for 2021–24. Metal and compound supply chains are separate 100-percent groups and are not combined.
- A missing country-product cell means the source did not assign a share; it is not treated as zero or redistributed.
USGS Monthly U.S. Magnesium Metal Trade
USGS Monthly U.S. Magnesium Metal Trade. Monthly imports and exports are shown in gross metric tons by metal, scrap, alloy and other forms. Import and export totals are calculated from the listed categories (derived). The composition panels keep imports and exports separate; no net-trade line or contained-magnesium conversion is inferred. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

- Monthly imports and exports are shown in gross metric tons by metal, scrap, alloy and other forms. Import and export totals are calculated from the listed categories (derived).
- The composition panels keep imports and exports separate; no net-trade line or contained-magnesium conversion is inferred.
USGS Quarterly Magnesium Metal Price Ranges
USGS Quarterly Magnesium Metal Price Ranges. Each pair is the published quarterly low–high quotation range. U.S. dealer imports are quoted per pound, while the European free-market range is per metric ton. The two markets remain in separate panels because their units and commercial bases differ; no midpoint is invented. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset
