Market Dynamics Overview

“Growing Use of Fertilizers in Agriculture Industry”

Magnesium nitrate hexahydrate is used in the making of nitrogen fertilizers. Increasing use of magnesium in fertilizers has been observed because it facilitates the development and growth of plants and promotes photosynthesis, as it is the central element of the chlorophyll molecule. In addition, it is both an activator as well as an enzyme that promotes strength.

Magnesium carries out efficient sugar synthesis, starch translocation, fat formation, and enhanced iron utilization. It also supports the fixation of nitrogen and control of nutrient uptake. The benefits offered by magnesium in plant health have translated into increased use in the fertilizer industry.

“Ban on Fireworks to hinder the Growth”

The sale of magnesium nitrate hexahydrate as a catalyzing, dehydrating, and coloring agent in fireworks is expected to witness an all-time low, given the increasing awareness regarding environmental health that has led to a ban on firework manufacturing and sales in many regions. Implementation of stringent government regulations and legislation to curb pollution levels caused by fireworks is a potential growth deterrent for magnesium nitrate hexahydrate.

For instance, the Supreme Court of India has emphasized a ban on using firecrackers in Delhi during the festival of Diwali in 2022. This has been done citing heavy pollution and deterioration of air quality in Delhi during the festive season. This factor has resulted in a significant reduction in the manufacturing of fireworks, which in turn is expected to impede the growth in sales of magnesium nitrate hexahydrate at a global level, inhibiting its market’s growth.
