The Latin America magnesium nitrate market is projected to reach USD 113.5 million by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. registering a 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period. Growing demand from fertilizers and explosives manufacturing industry is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Magnesium nitrate is used as a catalyst for making explosives as it is a strong oxidizer and enhances the combustion of other substances that are utilized in the production of explosives. In the mining industry, explosives are used to extract the ore and discover ore-bodies. Latin America comprises of some of the largest and profitable mines, which is one of the prominent reasons for the robust growth of the mining industry. One of the largest mines of Latin America, Yonacoda gold mine, is situated in Peru and has been recognized as the second-largest open-pit gold mine in the world
Brazil is one of the fastest emerging economies in Latin America, with the chemical and agriculture sector as the backbone of a growing economy. The ability of magnesium nitrate to function as a stabilizer and preservative is likely to increase its utilization in the chemical industry. In addition, with a total arable land availability of 329 million hectares, the country designated 24.3% of the land to produce perennial crops and 52.1% for pastures.
