Magnesium, stearate, and acetate prices rose in 2025 due to supply limits, logistics issues, and shifting demand.

Magnesium powder, stearate, and acetate markets saw price volatility in late 2024 and 2025, driven by supply constraints, logistics issues, and shifting demand. Magnesium oxide feed grade prices surged in Q3 2025 due to strong livestock demand and tight supply, while stearate prices rose 7.8% quarter-on-quarter amid higher feedstock costs and restocking by pharmaceutical firms. Acetate prices increased 2.6%–3.0% across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, supported by restocking and stable logistics. Supply chain disruptions earlier in the year eased, but regional demand shifts and production levels continued to influence pricing.
