North America Market Insights

The North American manganese alloy market has an anticipated market share of about 12% globally by 2034, enjoying a steady CAGR of nearly 5.6% between 2025 and 2034. Growth stems mostly from demand from the steel sector for infrastructure modernization, automotive production, and energy storage. Investment in developing advanced alloy processing technologies and enhancing domestic critical minerals supply chains forms one of the chief drivers of this market. The government policies and funds favoring a reduction in import dependency and enhanced sustainable manufacturing further support the growth of this market in the region.

The U.S. manganese alloy market is driven by robust steel production, which accounts for 90% of domestic manganese demand. In 2023, the country produced 360,000 metric tons (MT) of silicomanganese (SiMn) and ferromanganese (FeMn), primarily sourced from imports due to limited domestic reserves. The steel industry’s growth, fueled by infrastructure projects like the $1.2T Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, has increased demand for high-strength manganese alloys. Imports from South Africa, Gabon, and Australia dominate, with 85% reliance on foreign supply. Environmental regulations, such as the EPA’s Clean Air Act, are pushing for low-carbon alloy production, with 15% of mills adopting green manganese alloys by 2023.

Canada’s manganese alloy market is smaller but strategically tied to its steel and aluminum industries, with 120,000 MT of annual demand (2023). The country relies entirely on imports, primarily from Brazil, South Africa, and Norway, due to negligible domestic production. Quebec’s aluminum smelters and Ontario’s steel plants are key consumers, with 40% of alloys used in specialty steel for automotive sectors. Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy (2022) aims to reduce import dependency, with $3.8B pledged for mineral processing infrastructure. Strict carbon pricing policies ($50/ton CO₂) are accelerating adoption of cleaner manganese alloys, with 20% of industrial users transitioning to low-emission variants by 2023.
