Manganese Ore
Manganese ore is a rock or mineral containing manganese. It is a source of manganese, a hard, brittle, silver-white metal with various industrial uses. The most important manganese minerals are pyrolusite (MnO2), braunite (Mn2O3), and rhodochrosite (MnCO3). These metals are found in various geological settings, including sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, and igneous rocks. Manganese ore is typically black or dark brown, and it can have a variety of textures, including granular, earthy, fibrous, and colorful.
Manganese ore is mined above or below ground. The metal is then processed to remove the manganese. Manganese metal is used in various applications, including iron and steel production, batteries, fertilizers, paints, and plastics.
The largest producer of manganese ore in the world is South Africa. Other manganese ore producers include Australia, China, India, and Gabon.
The global demand for manganese is expected to increase in the coming years due to the increase in manganese in various industries. The global manganese metal market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.02% from 2023 to 2030. The market is expected to reach $32.70 billion by 2030.
The outlook for the global manganese ore market is positive. The demand for manganese ore is expected to increase in the coming years due to the increase in manganese in various industries, including steel, chemical (fertilizers, paints, and plastics), and battery industries.
The global manganese ore market will remain competitive in the coming years. Major players constantly develop new products and services to stay ahead of the competition.
According to a Mordor Intelligence report, the global manganese market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4.19% during the forecast period (2022-2027). Another report from DataIntelo indicates that the manganese petroleum market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2018-2030. The high manganese segment is expected to lead the market in revenue during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its increasing demand from the steel and alloy industry worldwide.
Nigeria has reserves of up to 5 million tons of manganese. Manganese ore deposits are found in 10 out of 36 states of Nigeria. The manganese ore deposits in Nigeria are of high quality and suitable for various industrial applications.
