Market Drivers

Growing Utilization in Batteries

The lithium batteries are increasing day by day with their efficient features across various industries such as consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and other industries where the requirement of batteries is a must.

• For example, in India, EV sales grew by 16.9% in 2025. This increase in sales eventually creates demand for batteries and hence manganese sulfate.

To produce efficient results, the active material plays a vital role. There are various active materials, but manganese sulfate offers multiple benefits over others, further enhancing the approach of battery manufacturers for it. Manganese sulfate offers benefits such as,

• Lower costs
• Lower insoluble content to reduce filtration time
• Avoid corrosion of stainless-steel pipes
• Quick dissolution

Taking these factors into account, companies such as Vibrantz are significantly directing their business towards the development and manufacturing of innovative and market-demandable manganese sulfate. Such strong approaches and rising demand remarkably push market boundaries for manganese sulfate.

Remarkable Growth of the Textile Industry Driving the Demand for Manganese Sulfate

The textile industry is one of the dominating industries, where the demand always rises year-on-year. Manganese sulfate plays a crucial role in the production of dyes that are used in the textile industry. Rising demand for textiles ultimately increases the demand for dyes and hence for manganese sulfate.

This rising export of textiles, as compared to 2021, highlights the demand for textiles all over the globe and hence reflects the demand for manganese sulfate for the production of dyes.

Market Restraints 

Limited Availability of High-grade Manganese Ore

High-grade manganese ore is a top-tier manganese containing more than 44% of manganese. This high-grade manganese ore is purer and more efficient than medium and low-grade manganese ore. But the availability of this high-grade is limited to certain countries such as South Africa, Australia, Brazil, and Gabon. This country's limited availability stretches the company from other regions to face supply chain challenges and price fluctuations. These challenges significantly limit the widespread utilization of high-grade manganese ore and hence affect the production of quality manganese sulfate.

Market Opportunity

Strategic Approaches by Major Market Players

Currently, high-purity manganese sulfate is approaching high demand for electric batteries. So, the manufacturing companies are stepping ahead accordingly.

• For example, in January 2024, Manganese X signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. to supply high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate.
• Vibrantz scaled up the manufacturing of high-purity manganese sulfate by constructing a new pilot plant recently.

Such strategically different but market-aligned initiatives by the major market players present opportunities for future market growth.
