- On the afternoon of January 23rd, 2026, Ms. Daphne Zhang, the Consultant & Senior Product Manager of Asian Metal, visited Shanxi Regal Metal New Material Co., Ltd. She held in-depth discussions with General Manager Mr. Guoqing Yan and Purchasing Manager Mr. Ze Yang regarding the supply-demand outlook and application directions for the magnesium market in 2026. The year 2026 represents a critical transition window for the magnesium industry, moving from "cost substitution" toward a "material revolution." The shift from plastics to magnesium points to low-carbon restructuring in consumer and light industrial sectors, while substituting aluminum with magnesium signifies a structural leap from a "backup option" to the "preferred choice" in high-end manufacturing. These parallel trends not only broaden application boundaries but fundamentally reshape the industry's perception of magnesium's value.
