Magnesium Lactate: A Global Journey of a Small Molecule
Magnesium lactate is an organic salt formed by the combination of lactic acid and magnesium ions, with a CAS number of 18917-93-6. It is a white to light yellow crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water, chemically stable, and has minimal irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, making it suitable for sensitive individuals. It also possesses buffering and chelating capabilities, and is regarded as the preferred "gentle magnesium supplement" in Europe, America, and other countries. It is widely used in tablets, powders, and fortified beverages.
The global magnesium lactate industry is experiencing a favorable development trend. In 2023, the global market size exceeded 350 million US dollars, and it is expected to exceed 480 milli US dollars by 2025. From 2025 to 2030, the market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%. In terms of the global market, North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region are the main consumption markets for magnesium lactate. In 2023, the market size in North America reached 220 million US dollars, accounting for 46% of the global market. It is expected to increase to 340 million US dollars by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.48%. In Europe, stimulated by the expansion of the EFSA's "positive list" of magnesium source additives, the CAGR from 2025 to 2030 is expected to reach 6.1%, higher than the global average. In the Asia-Pacific region, especially in China and India, due to their large population bases and rapidly increasing health awareness, the combined demand is expected to exceed 15,000 tons in 2025, making it the fastest-growing region in the magnesium lactate market.
