[SMM Magnesium] Gansu Aims for $10B Magnesium Cluster, Boosts Full-Chain Development by 2026

[Gearing Up for 2026! Magnesium Market Wraps Up a Stable January, Nearly 300,000 mt of Additional Demand to Boost Industry's New Prosperity] The magnesium market's performance for the year has now concluded. Price fluctuations in the magnesium market during 2025 may not have stood out among nonferrous metals, but it is precisely this past stability that is expected to foster the potential for nearly 300,000 mt of additional magnesium alloy demand growth in 2026. The magnesium metal market in 2026 is set to embark on a year of prosperity, marking a crucial step toward a thriving future. The industry is poised to write a new chapter of growth, which is highly anticipated across the sector. As we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, on behalf of the SMM Magnesium Team, I would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to colleagues in the industry, magnesium enterprise partners, experts, and scholars who have long cared for and supported SMM. Wishing everyone a prosperous New Year, immediate success, abundant wealth, and lasting good fortune!

Utah paid $30 million for a bankrupt magnesium plant—but not the $100 million cleanup. Its toxic legacy seeps toward the Great Salt Lake, unpaid. Across the Atlantic, Austria’s LKR cracked magnesium’s code: alloy ZAX210 now shapes into wire for medical implants and 3D printing. Two faces of the same metal: one buried in liability, the other alight with possibility.
