Manganese Dioxide (MnO₂) Price Trend Q3 2025
In Q3 2025, the global Manganese Dioxide pigment market maintained a steady outlook with slight softening across major consuming regions. Prices for Alkaline and Carbon grades moved within a controlled range during the July–September 2025 period, influenced by stable ore supply, consistent milling operations, and moderate energy costs. Demand from ceramics, glass coloration, ferrite production, and specialized pigment formulations offered underlying support, even as overall procurement remained cautious. With producers optimizing capacity and downstream pigment applications showing steady offtake, the market is expected to hold a stable-to-firm tone heading into the next quarter.
China
MnO₂ Export prices FOB Shanghai, China, Grade- Carbon
In Q3 2025, Manganese Dioxide markets in China moved into a softer zone, influenced by restrained procurement from downstream battery materials, ceramics, and chemical processing industries. Buyers avoided speculative stocking and focused on maintaining routine inventory levels, while subdued operating rates across end-use sectors limited any notable demand uplift. Trade flows remained steady, supported by stable domestic freight and uninterrupted port operations, ensuring smooth dispatches. Suppliers met contractual commitments without supply tightness, keeping market conditions balanced. In September 2025, Manganese Dioxide Carbon Grade prices under FOB China decreased by -2.80%, indicating a mildly weak market tone heading into late Q3 2025.
