The average price of magnesium alloy AZ91D on March 31 was 18,650.00 yuan/mt. Compared with the average price of 17,800 yuan/mt on December 31, 2024, it increased by 850 yuan/mt, representing a 4.78% increase.

Magnesium alloy AZ91D experienced a significant decline in 2024. Its average price on December 31, 2024, was 17,800 yuan/mt. Compared with the average price of 22,150 yuan/mt on December 29, 2023, the average price of magnesium alloy AZ91D fell by 4,350 yuan/mt in 2024, representing a 19.64% decrease.

The price trend of magnesium alloy AZ91D is closely related to magnesium ingots. In Q1 2025, due to changes in the supply-demand relationship, the inventory of magnesium ingot producers continued to decline. Magnesium prices rebounded steadily in Q1 2025, which in turn drove up the average price of magnesium alloy AZ91D in Q1. In April, affected by weak supply and demand, magnesium ingot prices fluctuated rangebound overall. However, influenced by stockpiling before the Labour Day holiday, the trading situation in the main magnesium ingot producing areas performed well in late April, with a daily average trading volume of approximately 1,500 mt. The inventory pressure on magnesium ingot smelters was effectively alleviated, and some enterprises even sold small batches of futures during the Labour Day holiday. Supported by low inventory, magnesium ingot prices rebounded somewhat at the end of April.

After the Labour Day holiday, influenced by factors such as market concerns that environmental protection checks may affect magnesium ingot supply and that dolomite supply may be restricted, the prices of multiple magnesium industry chain products, including magnesium ingots and magnesium alloys, increased on May 7. For the future outlook of magnesium, attention should still be paid to the subsequent production resumptions of magnesium plants. Before major changes occur in the supply-demand relationship, it is expected that magnesium prices will continue to fluctuate rangebound, supported by generally low inventory levels at magnesium enterprises.
