概述
2022年,全球氯化鎂除冰顆粒市場規模達2.452億美元,預計2030年將達到3.408億美元,2023-2030年預測期間CAGR為4.2%。
全球貿易和商業的持續復甦將有助於增加預測期內對氯化鎂除冰顆粒的需求。從長遠來看,公路運輸量的復甦以及航空貨運量的令人鼓舞的成長將進一步增加對除冰顆粒的需求。
全球氯化鎂除冰顆粒市場的長期成長受到更實惠和更經濟的替代品的可用性的威脅。例如,氯化鈉(食鹽)也是一種有效的除冰劑,可以以更便宜的價格免費獲得。
動力學
異常天氣現象發生頻率增加
人為氣候變遷的加劇導致更頻繁和嚴重的天氣事件,例如極端溫度變化和更嚴重的暴風雪。儘管全球暖化的整體趨勢是全球氣溫升高,但降雪和暴風雪等常見天氣事件變得越來越嚴酷,持續時間也越來越長。
暴風雪和大雪的頻率和強度不斷增加,需要使用氯化鎂顆粒等綜合除冰解決方案。位於北緯地區的國家的全球需求一直在增加,這些國家在冬季更容易出現這些天氣現象。隨著異常天氣變得越來越頻繁,未來幾年對氯化鎂除冰顆粒的需求可能會大幅增加。
全球航空旅行的成長
疫情後全球航空客運量大幅反彈。國際航空運輸協會(IATA)的資料顯示,2022年,2023年全球航空客運量較2022年成長10.9%。在歐洲和北美等已開發地區,國內和國際航空旅行的復甦速度明顯迅速。航空旅行率的不斷上升保證了機場和其他航空基礎設施的全天候運作。
全球航空旅行的成長導致旅客量增加,也為機場維持營運帶來了更大的壓力。定期對跑道和機場停機坪進行除冰對於保持機場在冬季正常運作是必要的。隨著客運航空旅行量達到疫情後的新高,在預測期內將對氯化鎂除冰顆粒產生更大的需求。
供應鏈限制
氯化鎂除冰顆粒的生產、供應和分銷完全依賴全球供應鏈。全球氯化鎂的大部分生產都在中國進行,因為中國工廠產能高且價格極具競爭力。北美和歐洲能夠與中國製造商競爭的製造商所剩無幾。
然而,全球供應鏈尚未完全從 COVID-19 大流行的影響中恢復。供應鏈的限制給氯化鎂顆粒的有效分銷和銷售造成了瓶頸。因此,分銷商無法完全滿足對除冰解決方案不斷成長的需求。
Overview
Global Magnesium Chloride De-icing Granules Market reached US$ 245.2 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 340.8 million by 2030, growing with a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
The ongoing recovery of global trade and commerce will help augment the demand for magnesium chloride de-icing granules during the forecast period. The recovery in volumes moved through road transport along with the encouraging growth of air cargo volumes will further augment demand for de-icing granules over the long term.
The long term growth of the global magnesium chloride de-icing granules market is endangered by the availability of more affordable and economical alternatives. For instance, sodium chloride, (common salt) is also an effective de-icing agent that is freely available at much more cheaper prices.
Dynamics
Increasing Frequency of Abnormal Weather Phenomenon
The rise of man-made climate change has resulted in more frequent and severe weather events, such as extreme temperature variations and harsher snow storms. Although the overall trend of global warming is towards an increase in global temperatures, regular weather events such as snowfalls and snow storms have become increasingly harshers and last longer.
The rising frequency and intensity of snow storms and heavy snow falls requires the usage of comprehensive de-icing solutions such as magnesium chloride grnaules. The global demand has been increasing across countries situated in the northern latitudes, which are more prone to these weather phenomenon during the winter months. As abnormal weather becomes increasing frequent, the demand for magnesium chloride de-icing granules is likely to increase significantly over the coming years.
Growth in Global Air Travel
Global passenger air travel has rebounded significantly in the post-pandemic period., in 2022, Global air passenger traffic in 2023 increased 10.9% over 2022, according to data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Recovery in domestic and international air travel has been noticeably swift in developed regions such as Europe and North America. Increasing rates of air travel warrants that airport and other aviation infrastructure maintain full-time operationality.
The growth in global air travel has resulted in increased passenger volumes and has put increased stress upon airports to maintain operationality. Regular deicing of runways and airport aprons is necessary to keep the airport functioning during winter months. As passenger air travel volumes reach new post-pandemic highs, it will generate greater demand for magnesium chloride de-icing granules during the forecast period.
Supply Chain Constraints
The production, supply and distribution of magnesium chloride de-icing granules is wholly dependant on global supply chains. Most of the global production of magnesium chloride takes place in China, since Chinese factories have high production capacity and extremely competitive pricing. Very few manufacturers are left in North America and Europe that can compete with Chinese manufacturers.
However, the global supply chains have not fully recovered from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The supply chain constraints are creating bottlenecks for the efficient distribution and sales of magnesium chloride granules. As a result, distributors are unable to completely satisfy the growing demand for deicing solutions.
The global magnesium chloride de-icing granules market is segmented based on type, end-user and region.
Roadways and Highways Generate the Most Highest Demand For De-icing Granules
Roadways and highways remain the largest end-user for magnesium chloride de-icing granules simply due to the vast network of roadways and highways that exist in northern developed countries of North America and Europe. Mobility in North America is entirely dependent upon car-based infrastructure. Therefore, to keep passenger and commercial traffic open during harsh winter conditions, regular de-icing is necessary.
Roadways and highways require a relatively higher volume of maintenance and de-icing as compared to parking lots and airports. Furthermore, airports can be be temporarily shut down on an extended basis due to bad weather. However, given the oversized importance of roadways, they must be maintained in working condition across all weather conditions.
With Numerous New Projects, North America Garners Top Position
North America is expected to have the highest share within the global magnesium chloride de-icing granules market due to a significant share of its land area lying within northern latitudes and large of transportation infrastructure located therein. Over the last decade, North America has been regularly hit with polar vortexes, which dump unusually high amounts of snowfall and create high-intensity snow storms.
The northern and northeastern U.S. and nearly the entirety of Canada is regularly battered by heavy snow storms. For instance, in March 2023, a major winter storm dumped 1-2 inches of snow and created blizzard conditions throughout most of the northern, western and northeastern U.S.
U.S.-based companies are scaling up production of magnesium chloride with a view to reducing dependence on imports in light of growing geopolitical tensions with China. For instance, in November 2023, Compass Minerals, the only U.S.-based producer of magnesium chloride, announced the purchase of majority stake in Fortress, a U.S.-based maker of chemical salts and fire retardants for US$ 45 million. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the de-icing granule production capacity of the company.
The COVID-19 pandemic created a quandary for the global magnesium chloride de-icing granules market. The demand from the aviation industry fell drastically during the course of the pandemic as domestic and international air travel was curtailed to prevent the spread of the pandemic. Furthermore, the de-icing frequency of roadways and highways also decreased due to pandemic lockdown restrictions.
China is among the largest producers of magnesium chloride and stringent lockdowns in China dramatically reduced supplies, further complicated by disruptions in global shipping. Prices of magnesium chloride shot up as many de-icing service providers looked towards other alternatives. The overall situation has improved considerably in the post-pandemic period however, some lingering supply chain constraints still prevent the market from achieving its full growth potential.
The Russia-Ukraine war may have led to various changes in the demand for magnesium chloride de-icing granules, especially for both the warring countries. Due to the disruption to normalcy, Ukraine has had great difficulty in importing and stocking magnesium chloride granules for civilian applications. Most of the local stockpiles were requisitioned for the frontline during the winter months.
The Russian magnesium chloride de-icing granules market has also witnessed disruption due to the ward. The harsh economic sanctions imposed on Russia have led to a halt in official exports of magnesium chloride de-icing granules from western European distributors. To combat shortages, Russia started importing de-icing granules through the international grey market as well as from Chinese producers.
The major global players in the market include Snow & Ice Salt & Chemicals Unlimited LLC, Peters Chemical Company, Ninja De-Icer, Jinzhou Sata Fused Fluxes and New Materials Factory, Chemical Equipment Labs, Knight Chemicals, LLC, Zhengzhou Hoo Chemtec Co., Ltd, Buckmans Incorporated, East Coast Salt and Schoenberg Salt & Chemical.
