China and India are the leading exporters of manganese carbonate, collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea remain the largest importers. Manganese carbonate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from battery precursor and ceramic pigment manufacturers. Export volumes from China increased modestly year-on-year through 2024, while Indian exports expanded more rapidly, reflecting growing regional production capacity and shifting supply chain dynamics.
Manganese carbonate (CAS 598-62-9) is a fine, light pink to brownish crystalline solid that is odorless and non-volatile; it decomposes before melting, typically above 200 °C. It is an inorganic metal carbonate salt, commonly occurring in the rhodochrosite mineral form. Primarily used as a precursor or intermediate in the production of other manganese compounds—including manganese oxides, manganese sulfate, and battery-grade manganese materials—it serves critical roles in metallurgical processes and catalyst synthesis. Its main application areas include dry-cell batteries, fertilizers, ceramic glazes and pigments, and as a micronutrient additive in animal feed and agricultural formulations.
Manganese(II) carbonate occurs in nature as the mineral rhodochrosite [14476-12-1] (manganese spar). This ore also is used to produce manganese dioxide (by electrolytic process). The pure compound is used as gemstones; and as a pigment (manganese white).
