Asian Metal visits Yulin Magnesium

On the afternoon of December 25th, 2025, Ms. Daphne Zhang, Consultant & Senior Product Manager of Magnesium Market at Asian Metal, visited Yulin Magnesium (Group) Co., Ltd. She engaged in in-depth discussions with Deputy General Manager Mr. Daniel Chu and Sales Director Mr. Zhenguo Yang regarding the supply and demand dynamics of the magnesium market in 2025 and the global landscape and application prospects for 2026. In 2025, while base metals such as copper and aluminum took center stage in the global market's macro narratives and supply-demand dynamics, experiencing intense price fluctuations, magnesium remained largely on the sidelines in a state of near "strategic silence." Looking ahead to 2026, magnesium alloys, magnesium alloy particles, and high-end magnesium-based materials stand on the brink of industrial expansion, driven by the structural lightweighting revolution spurred by integrated die-casting in new energy vehicles and the growing demand for enhanced performance and user experience in the wave of electric two-wheeler adoption.

Yulin Magnesium (Group) Co., Ltd. was established on October 30, 2020, in Fugu County, the world's primary magnesium production hub. Its formation was in line with the directives of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Government to build a 100-billion-yuan magnesium-aluminum alloy industry in Yulin, as well as the vision of the Yulin Municipal Party Committee and Government to establish a metal magnesium export base. The group was jointly founded by Yulin Energy Group Coal Import and Export Co., Ltd., the Fugu County Government, Shaanxi Financial Holding Group, and 20 major magnesium production enterprises in Yulin. It is currently the world's largest magnesium industry group in terms of production capacity. The group comprises 20 magnesium production enterprises, with a total annual magnesium metal production capacity of 500,000 tons, accounting for approximately 50% of the global total. Additionally, the group has an annual semi-coke production capacity of 29 million tons and an annual ferrosilicon production capacity of 1 million tons. The company primarily engages in the sales of various high-purity magnesium ingots, magnesium alloys, magnesium products, semi-coke, coal tar, ferrosilicon, coal, steel, and non-ferrous metals. It also handles the export of a wide range of industrial and agricultural products, as well as the import of equipment and technology.

Yulin Magnesium consistently follows and utilizes Asian Metal's price information as a reference for its supply and sales price indices, highly commending the platform for its timely, rigorous, and objective market reporting. Furthermore, the company acknowledges the past Magnesium Summits organized by Asian Metal and will actively participate in the 14th Magnesium Summit to be held by Asian Metal in Chengdu on April 16-17th, 2026.
