The Global Pyroxenite Market is steadily advancing. Valued at USD 112.41 million in 2024, the market is projected to reach USD 178.63 million by 2032, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.98% from 2025 to 2032. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of market dynamics, segmentation, drivers, challenges, and competitive landscape, drawing exclusively from Data Bridge Market Research to equip stakeholders with strategic insights.

What Is Pyroxenite?

Pyroxenite is an ultramafic igneous rock primarily composed of pyroxene minerals (clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene), often containing olivine, chromite, and magnetite. Mined for its magnesium oxide (MgO) content (up to 40%), it serves as a flux in iron and steel production, reducing melting points and impurities. Globally, it supports refractory applications and chromium extraction, with deposits in South Africa, India, and Russia aligning with eco-friendly sourcing trends.
